This game is an adaptation of the popular game show. You play the game
as you would the game show. The puzzle category may be a title, person,
people, occupation, etc.
You will be presented with puzzles to solve, one at a time. You are
initially given a number of chances to solve the puzzle. If you land on
LOSE A TURN, one (1) chance is deducted from those remaining. If you
land on WIN A TURN, one (1) CHANCE is added to those remaining and if
you select a letter that does not appear in the puzzle, you lose one (1)
chance. If you are unlucky enough to land on BANKRUPT, you will lose all
accumulated points for that puzzle and a one chance deduction.
Each vowel you select costs 250 points. You must have accumulated enough
points, for the current puzzle, to select a vowel.
The Wheel contains a BONUS, which if landed on adds points (100 times
the puzzle number being worked) to your current point total. For example
if you are working on puzzle number 7 and you land on BONUS, 700 points
are added to your current points. There is no limit to the number of
BONUS' per puzzle.
Once only vowels remain unselected in the puzzle, you will be asked to
solve the puzzle. If you do not solve it you lose all accumulated points
for that puzzle and you move on to the next one.
After completing all puzzles, you will be placed in the BONUS puzzle
round. You choose 5 consonants and 1 vowel and you then have 30 seconds
to solve the puzzle. A correct answer is worth between 5,000 and 25,000
points (randomly selected).
If you choose to quit (by using the '!' function), The game will
"remember" what puzzle you are solving, remember the number of chances
remaining, remember the points accumulated for the puzzle, remember
letters used and will resume from that point the next time you play.
Time remaining for the current call is displayed, in brackets, to the
left of the "Enter Any Option..." displays.
YOU WILL BE COMPETING AGAINST OTHER CALLERS, SO TRY TO RUN UP THE
HIGHEST SCORE YOU CAN. JUST BEING ABLE TO ANSWER ALL THE PUZZLES
FASTER THAN ANYONE ELSE MEANS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE SCORE !!!!
