Game 5 - Wheel of Knowledge is a game in which teams can answer questions, spin a roulette-style wheel with various prize values on it, and guess letters in a word puzzle. The word puzzle and wheel values as well as the questions, answers, and Info Screens are all customizable. The object of the game is to earn the most points by answering questions or solving puzzles.
According to how the game is set up in the Rules section, teams may answer 1 question per turn, 1 question per spin, ring-in to answer questions or simply spin the wheel and guess the letters in the puzzle. If they answer a question correctly, they get to spin the wheel. If the wheel spins to a Point or Prize Value, then the team gets to guess a letter in the puzzle. If their guess is correct, then the word puzzle displays all occurences of that letter. The team can then solve the puzzle, pass solving the puzzle, or be required to answer another question before guessing another letter. If the wheel spins to a Penalty Value, the penalty (lose a turn, bankrupt, etc.) is imposed, and game play proceeds to the next team.
A round is over when the puzzle has been solved. The game is over when all puzzles have been solved, when the preset timer runs out, or when the Instructor selects Quit Program or Exit to Setup from the Navigator Menu. An optional Final Puzzle gives the highest scoring team a chance to win an additional prize, whose value you decide in advance.
