Entry B
We would like to introduce you to our new forum game… FaceOff.
The format of FaceOff is something that we believe brings a new element to the forum gameshow – merging intelligence and tactics in an elimination style game where no-one, not even the best performers, are safe from the FaceOff.
The Format
12 contestants will be split into 2 teams of 6:
The Red Team and
The Blue Team. The two teams will work together over a 24 hour period, attempting to answer a set of 50 questions correctly. The questions will be sorted into different categories – a different category each week. The categories will include:
- Music
- Sport
- TV
- Films
- Geography
- TiBB
- Celebrities
- Gaming
The questions will be formatted so that it’s difficult to simply google the answers, mainly using pictures and videos as questions (as usually done on The Pub Quiz and The Mole).
An example of some of the questions:
And so on…
Eliminations
At the end of the round, when both teams have sent their entries in, the two teams will then nominate a player from each team that they think has been the weakest performer in the team. The results of the round will then be announced and whichever team answered the least questions correctly, will lose their nominated person.
This carries on until there are 2 people left on each team.
Should there be an imbalance in teams, the team member last nominated by the other team will join the opposing team.
For Example: Should the Red team lose a round and go down to 4 members, the Green team, who have 6 members, would then lose the last person that they nominated to the Red team.
The Finals
Once there are 2 people left in each team, the teams will then be playing for spots in the final. The final two on each team have to work together to get into the final round – the losing team will lose both members, and the 2 from the winning team will go on to the final round. The winner of the final round will be crowned the champion and will win the title of FaceOff champion… and the award:
How is it different to other TiBB games?
FaceOff is different because it involved eliminations and quizzes – 2 gaming elements that are rarely merged on TiBB. There is also a strong element of tactical gameplay that can be introduced – players may wish to nominate the stronger members of their team, in order to eliminate competition. Nominate the stronger players and then win the round, however, may result in you losing that member to the opposing team is there is an imbalance. We think it offers a fresh take on forum quizzing, with a strong element of competition. It requires all around knowledge, due to the variation in topics, as well as good gameplay.
We hope that you like our original idea.
