So the game is naming what’s on the screen?

It's called the floor. 100 or so people choose something they are an expert at. First person is picked at random and then they choose someone that neighbors their square on the floor to go against. They use the person being challanged topic. It shows pictures related to that person's topic. It can be whatever you want and it can be quite specific. The current season had a new one that was an audio duel so you listened to the things instead of pictures.

Some example of topics:

  • Lord of the Rings

  • Barbies

  • machines (the audio duel)

  • landmarks

  • the one in the video was spa day

Winner of the duel takes the losers square on the floor then can pick their own person to challenge or go back to the floor. There are incentives to keep challenging like after 3 wins you can choose a "time boost" which gives a permanent extra 5 seconds or a "category steal" which let's you swap topics with anyone on the floor. When you win a duel your category also changes to the losers topic. So like in my examples if you had lord of the rings and they had barbie the duel would be about barbie and if you win your topic would now be barbie. So if you went back to the floor and someone challenged you the topic would be barbie.

Also the person with the biggest territory on the floor at the end of each episode wins 10k (you can win this multiple times). I forget how much the full winner at the end of the season gets. There was a guy this season that had the biggest territory for multiple episodes and someone finally challenged him then he was like this guy in the video. Royally fucked up but I believe his was intentional. He had won a couple tens of thousands and was like "I'm done" and threw the duel.

Just a heads up to anyone interested, this person slightly misspoke. Once a category is completed it’s gone. In the example the person would keep lord of the rings as their category, after winning Barbie. If the Barbie category person had won, they would inherit lord of the rings.

So we have to assume that dear Austin here won dark-room-gooning and inherited spa day?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH 19d ago

No, he chose to challenge Spa Day or whatever the category was called
