A janky legacy app leads to some questionable moments as we face off against the dreaded Whammy! We cover both the classic 1983 CBS run with Peter Tomarken and the 2019 ABC revival with Elizabeth Banks.
It's the classic game of luck, strategy and sabotage - but with tiny dice? Let's fix that!
Things you find in a kitchen... things that make you nervous... things that are this episode! We tackle the iconic word-association game show with the 1986 edition.
We go head-to-head in the messiest episode yet — Double Dare and its Wet 'n' Wild edition. Physical challenges, trivia (at least in part), and more slime than we bargained for.
X's and O's with celebrity bluffing — but does having fake celebrities affect the entertainment factor of this game? We say yes - and circle gets the square!
Survey says... we played both editions back-to-back! The 1977 original vs. the 2017 anniversary edition — same survey format, very different energy. Name something that changed in 40 years!
There's a fundamental flaw in the home game version of this UK format, and it's a flaw that allowed Chase to CHEAT!
Twenty-six cases, one life-changing decision — the Australian edition comes home. Do we take the Banker's offer or risk it all? The tension was absolutely real.
The bargain of the century — or is it? We play the fast-money trivia game where buying tempting prizes could cost you the whole game. Every answer has a price.
After the Whammy, there was the Wipeout - and not the one with the giant red balls! And there was never a physical game for this Peter Tomarken one-season wonder, so we play a computer game built by an Etsy fan.
Where it all began! Our very first episode — we cracked open TV Scrabble and immediately realized the home game version has different rules than the TV version, which had different rules from the board game upon which it was based.
