A host asks representatives of the family questions that have already been answered by a survey of 100 people.
Examples of questions might be "Name a famous George", "Tell me a popular family vacation spot", "Name something you do at school", or "Name a slang name for policemen".
Whoever guesses the more popular answer in the survey has the option to play the question or pass it to the other family.
One family member leaves the stage and is placed in an isolation booth, while the other is given 15 seconds to answer five questions.
In 1994, five-night winners won $5,000 in gold bullion and shared with a home viewer a bonus jackpot worth $50,000 which increased $1,000 per night.
