WAR OF THE WITS

(A blockbusters Quiz)
MECHANICS
ELIMINATION
A group is composed of three members (one 2nd year, one 3rd year, and one 4th year).
All participating groups will undergo an elimination round where in questions will be chosen at
random. If any of the group fails to answer a question, they will automatically be eliminated until
only two groups will be left.

MAIN GAME
The two lucky groups will be competing against each other in the Blockbusters Game
Board. The game board consisted of 25 interlocking hexagons, arranged in five columns of five.
A contestant would choose one of the letters, and would be asked a question whose correct
answer began with the chosen letter. (A typical question might be, "What 'P' is a musical
instrument with 88 keys?" The answer would be a piano.)
The game began with a toss-up question to play for control of the board, starting with a
letter that was chosen at random. The teams could buzz-in during the middle of reading of a
question. If a team got the correct answer, they gained control of that hexagon and were given
the chance to choose another one. If the contestant answered incorrectly, the opposing team or
player was given a chance to answer it after the host re-read the question. If nobody answered it
correctly, the host asked another question whose answer began with that same letter.
The red team should complete a vertical connection of red hexagons from the top of the
board to the bottom while blue team must connect a path from left to right with blue hexagons
that required at least five correct answers. The first side to connect their path won the game.
