Round two plays similarly, except each correct answer is worth 200 points, and each contestant gets to choose if the subject is a person, place or thing.

After the host reads a single clue, the first player to signal in with the correct answer before the choices are exhausted earns 50 points.

A correct answer earns the player 500 points, while an incorrect response means they may not respond until the next subject is revealed.

If the contestant does not win the bonus round, but identifies at least one subject correctly, they receive a lesser prize.
