In Game 1, teams select game board questions with varying point values in categories (e.g., Sales for 100 points, Sports for 200 points). By default, if a team rings in and answers the question correctly, that team is awarded the points assigned to that question and can choose the next question. If a team answers incorrectly, that team loses the point value assigned to the question. The other teams may now ring in and answer the question. (Many variations on this sequence are made possible by the adjustment of setup options in Gameshow Pro 4.)
The game is over when all questions are answered, the preset time runs out, or when the Instructor elects to Jump Within Match (from the Game menu) directly to the Final Question. Hidden Bonus Questions allow teams to wager and win extra points, and a Final Question allows all teams to wager points. The team with the most points after all questions are answered is the winner!
