Since it has been recently revealed that there will be a revival of Tic Tac Dough, I thought we’d have a thread where we come up with our own ideas for game show revivals.
So, what we’ll do here is choose game shows that are not currently in production and explain how we’d produce them. Here’s an example:
Play The Percentages
This game show involves two couples (later individual contestants) predicting the percentages of how a group of 300 people have answered questions correctly, with the ones who come closest to the actual percentage scoring points and choosing whether to answer the question themselves or challenge their opponents for more points.
This game show went through several format changes during its short run, which can make it difficult to choose which format is the best one. So, here’s how I would produce it:
Two individual contestants will play against each other in three rounds, with three questions in each of the first two rounds, and as many questions as time allows in round three. The point values will double in round two and triple in round three. On each question, the contestants will lock in their answers using secret touchscreens, with the contestant who comes closest to the actual percentage scoring 50/100/150 points and choosing whether to answer the question themselves or challenge their opponent to do so. After that choice is made, the contestant who is answering that question will score 50/100/150 points if they answer it correctly. If a contestant challenges their opponent to answer a question, and their opponent misses that question, the challenge contestant scores 100/200/300 points for a successful challenge, and must answer that question themselves for another 50/100/150 points afterwards.
The contestant with the most points when time runs out wins the game, receives their winning score in dollars (with a minimum guarantee of $1,000), and advances to the bonus round. If the game ends in a tie, the contestants play one more question with no answering or challenging needed to be done, with the contestant who comes closest to the actual percentage winning the game.
In the bonus round, the winning contestant is started off with a percentage of 100% on the board, and up to five questions are asked. On each question, the contestant gives a percentage, and the correct answer and the actual percentage are revealed afterwards. Then, the difference between the contestant’s guess and the actual percentage is deducted from their percentage total. For example, if the contestant guesses 44% on a question, and the actual percentage of that question is 79%, then 35% is deducted from their total.
If the contestant has a total above 0% after five questions, their winnings are increased to $10,000. But if at any time the contestant brings their total to 0%, the bonus round ends immediately, and the contestant wins nothing extra.
Unlike the actual show, this revival will have no returning champions.
So, I hope everyone gets the idea of how this topic works. I have a few other ideas for game show revivals that I’d like to post here, but I’ll post them later.
