 I dissagree - there's a time limit, a stunt to complete, the only difference is that there is no point that they will stop the clock for reaching your goal prematurely.

That would actually improve the show - stop the clock and pay the contestants if they reach a certain # of tokens (Crystal Mazish, I know, but they would need some kind of scale to stop the clock when they reach the target).

--- Quote ---Play the Percentage's solo player bonus round format was different from the main game. The main game was a Q&A format, but the bonus round had the player pick the five answers out of six that the polled people responded to in a survey question.

Yes, but both games did revolve around percentages, as the title promised. The players chose questions valued by the percent who got them wrong.


--- Quote ---Wordplay's maingame had people picking the definition of a word, while the bonus game had people finding the best word that fits two definitions.

But in both cases, Wordplay IS a game of definitions. This is turning the game around almost the same way Pyramid does for the Winner's Circle.

Perhaps insted of that bag a couple of hole-like devices in the walls that would drop them into a box with a scale and a nice big eggcrate display (to go with the retro clock) showing how much they've earned so far (perhaps the coins way differently so some are worth more and some are worth less?)
Just a thought...
