Description of "Link Five"
the Television Game Show...

The game is so simple, it can be learned in less than 30 Seconds, but challenges even the intellectually gifted.

The "Game Board", is the same as with board game version, but for the game show, it's digitally displayed behind the players as the game advances.

Two players (or two pairs of players, husband & wife, coworkers or just friends), are opponents of what is a war for pride and money. They compete on who knows more about their own passion.

Players are selected only if they consider themselves experts in a particular subject, if the subject is a hobby and not their job or profession and most of all if they have a passion about that subject.

The basic rules are the same as with the board game version, except that their selection of a block on the Game Board, will cause it to flash on and off and then marked with their color and the money and prizes won are determined by how they answer questions that are asked every time a selection is made on board.

As to the questions that are asked, they are all of a subject chosen by the contestant (their passion) up to one month before the show is taped. It is their favorite subject, experts on it and they have a long time to study for the show.

The main goal of the game will be to win the match on the board, because the winner gets to keep what he/she has won during the show, the loser gets to go home with a tooth brush.

The questions that are asked have four (4) different levels of difficulty and five (5) different Dollar values depending on the number on the block selected by the player...

The questions are...
Worth
On #1
Relatively easy and worth...
$100.00
On #2
A little more challenging...
$200.00
On #3
They are difficult...
$300.00
On #4
They are very difficult...
$400.00

The Wild blocks, are wild also as to how difficult the questions is, they are as easy as on #1 or as difficult as on #4, the players never know what they can get when they go to a Wild block, but because of that, the prize is $500.00 if it's answered correctly.

Once a selection is made on the board, it belongs to the contestant that made it, even if the question is answered incorrectly, but the dollar amount of the question is lost from his/her previous winnings and it goes to the opponent for forcing him or her to have to answer a tougher question by having to block at a higher number.

We capture the loyalty of viewers by the natural emotions that contestants demonstrate as the opponent is force to select a higher numbers and in so doing, fails to answer a tougher question or sometimes it back fires and the opponent gains an advantage.

Again lets emphasize that the difficulty of a question increases the chances that the player will answer it wrong, and when that happens they do not receive the Dollar value of the question, but the opponent gets the money without even having to answer the question. This embarrass the player that considers himself an expert in the subject.

These facts create real emotion, the personalities demonstrated by the two contestants and the fact that they have different subjects, forces the TV viewer to identify more with one than the other, so they follow the game show as does a sports fan.

There are also be Five prizes (Cars, Vacations, etc.), hidden in the board and the contestant win them if they select the block where its hidden and answer the question correctly, but they must also win the game.

What makes the Game Show interesting, challenging and entertaining, is what goes on in the process of trying to win. The contestants accumulate money and prizes during the show. But, once again, the loser of the game goes home with only consolation prizes.

All throughout the game show, in the background areas not displaying the game board or covered by the set or the contestants, unidentified parts of a commercial landmark, such as a hotel, amusement park or condominium complex are shown to the television audience, the winner of the game has one chance at the end of the game to name it. There is an additional prize of $500.00 if it's identified correctly.

The rule that makes this game so special is the one rule, and the only real rule the game has, that every block selected, must always have a number equal to or higher then the previous selection made by that player. And if higher, this also means the questions are harder.

The front of each player's station, displays the value of their last selection, as well as their accumulated Dollar winnings for the game.

Winners can defend their title up to 5 times, against 5 different opponents. The total of their winnings are shown at the end of each match.

The beauty of the Game Show is that it appeals to different interest groups, because of the subject of the questions, such as music questions and to different parts of the world because we produce it in different countries. There is also a kids version with less difficult questions.
