[citation needed] The game progresses over the course of a season with the grand prize awarded to the player who ultimately controls the entire floor.
One contestant is chosen at random and shown the categories of all opponents whose territories share at least one edge with their own, then chooses one of them to face in a head-to-head duel.
The two contestants take turns identifying a series of images or words associated with the challenged opponent's category.
Multiple guesses are allowed without penalty, and a contestant may pass whenever desired; however, they must wait three seconds for a new image or text to be shown.
Some categories are text-based, requiring contestants to perform tasks such as filling in the missing word(s) of a book title or song lyric, or naming the movie from which a famous quote is taken.
The first contestant to run out of time is eliminated from the game and gives up all of their territory to the winner, who inherits the challenger's category.
The winner may then either challenge another opponent or return to the grid; in the latter case, a new contestant is selected at random from those who have not yet played a duel.
The epic trivia face-off reaches its endgame as the 17 remaining contestants compete for the grand prize of $250,000.
