Since there is, at the present time, only one gameboard available for Gameshow Pro Web, Game 1 is synonymous with "game" in the following discussion about building and previewing games. Later in 2002, LearningWare will make other Gameshow Pro 3 gameboards available for use within Gameshow Pro Web.
In Game 1, one or more teams select gameboard questions with varying point values in categories (e.g., Sales for 100 points, Sports for 200 points). 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.
The game is over when all questions are answered or when the preset time runs out. 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!
