Game Show Network has a new game show debuting today at 4p and Get A Clue is a lot of fun to watch. It is a simple game played with two teams of four.
In the first and second rounds, each team has to pick one of the four categories on the boar. Then once they do, each member has to get the one on their right to guess the clue they are given. After they get it, they turn to the next team member until either they get all five clues or the clock stops.
For the third round, it is one team member who tries to get another one to guess the clue they are given. Each clue is worth either $200, $400, $600 or $2,000. The giving person has to decide which amount they want to play with for each word. The higher the dollar amount, the harder it is. Which makes you wonder if it is always smart to go for the highest amount.
Considering the winner of this round goes on to the finals, it does. For the final round, all four team members are back. Once again, they have to get he other team member to guess the answer. However, there is a twist. They don’t know who they are giving it to until they get the clue. If they get all answers right in the allotted time, then they win $10,000. Not bad!
As you can see, this game goes by really quickly. Even though it is a half-hour show, it only feels like a few minutes.
The best part of it being a guessing show, is watching them act out words. Rob Belushi (yes it is Jim Belushi’s son) calls them out on it all the time! Not in a mean way, but in a game show host sort of way which is endearing like Get A Clue in general.
