Wipeout (1988 game show)

The series was produced by Dames-Fraser Productions, and was distributed in first-run syndication by Paramount Domestic Television.

They alternated choosing one answer at a time, with a coin toss to decide who would start, and the first contestant to find a wipeout was eliminated.

One of the eleven correct answers was referred to as the "Hot Spot", with a bonus prize attached to it.

Once the Hot Spot was uncovered, Tomarken would take a token from inside his podium and place it on the desk of the contestant that found it.

The two remaining contestants advanced to the Challenge Round, playing for a bonus prize and to become the day's champion.

The high scorer from the first round started the bidding on the first board, while his/her opponent led off for the second.

The champion attempted to win a new car by identifying six correct answers in a category within sixty seconds.

If the champion managed to find all six answers within the time limit, he/she won the car and retired undefeated.
