All teams were left a KEY on their tables at the season premier, or given one at the first show they played in Season 4. 

  • The key allows a team to BANG two of the three rounds in a single show. 

  • However, to use a single key, a team must work with another team and agree to each use one in the same round in the same show. They must turn in their answer sheets and keys together. 

  • IF HOWEVER, a team has accumulated two keys via various achievements: they will not need to work with another team, and can trade in both keys in the same show to bang all three rounds in one night.

  • Keys will be awarded over the course of the season for goals both known (Big Ticket shows, specialty events) as well as those unknown (ex: quarterly ‘Secret Menu’ rewards)

Chips with varying powers/advantages will be rewarded each week by random draw from the Cursed Purse. 

  • Winning one of the first two standard Lightning Rounds as well as The All Play Lightning will earn a chip.

  • The High Scorer after three rounds can choose to either auto-advance to The Thunder Round OR risk it and compete in the All-Play for the chance to win it and gain the potential benefits from the Bouncy Die.

  • The winner of the Thunder, (hence winner of the show overall) will win two chips and a +3pt bonus to their season score.

  • Chips of two styles cannot be used in the same round (the VIVA chip is exempt from this rule)

  • The only chip that can be used in mulitples in a single round is the +1 MEDUSA chip. These can be used a maximum of 3 at a time for a single round, and a total of 5 in a single show.

  • Chips which add additional players, or award a point advantage to a Lightning or Thunder must be played just before the round begins.

  • All chips are null and void after the final week of the regular season (TBA)

CURRENT CHIPS VARIETIES AS OF 3/19/25

  • MEDUSA - +1pt to your round score. Must be handed in with your answer sheet for that round. These ARE bang-able.

  • RIDDLER - +2pts to your round score. Must be handed in with your answer sheet for that round. Can only use one per round in a single show. These ARE bang-able.

  • SHADOW - NEGATIVE 1pt from the score of any opponent. You must name that opponent ON THE MICROPHONE. They will lose 1pt, pre-bang (if applicable). You can only use one per round. 

  • STORM - +1pt advantage to the start of a Lightning or Thunder Round. Your chosen player in that round must present it to us before the round begins. Can only be used once per round. 

  • VIVA - The only chip that can be played at any point of a show (before we ask the final question of round 3) by simply yelling “VIVA”. The chip will allow you to spin the Wheel and collect whatever you land on. If you do so during the third round, and you land on something that applies to ‘the next round’ - those affects will deploy the subsequent week. Can only be played once in a show.

  • TONY! - +2 bang-able points to your score for one of the three main rounds. You also must name an opponent (ON THE MICROPHONE) that will also get these +2. If that team bangs the round it will become +4. Can only be played once in a round.

  • BEAUX! - Hand in with answer sheet for one of the three main rounds. Up to three wrong answers in that round will be awarded a point as if correct. If you had less than three incorrect answers in the round, the bonus will NOT carry over to subsequent rounds. Can only be used once in a single show.

  • MEGA-BANG - ONE OF ONE. +10 BANGABLE POINTS TO A MAIN ROUND.

  • UNLOCKED - ONE OF ONE. Turn in whenever you wish for an additional key!
