Caesars Challenge: Difference between revisions

Short-lived [[NBC]] [[Game Show]] from 1993, most notably the last new daytime game on the network and the final new network daytime game '''ever''' until [[CBS]] revived ''[[Let's Make a Deal]]'' in 2009. The show was filmed on location at the Caesars Palace casino in Las Vegas, resulting in the show having an obvious [[Ancient Grome]] casino overtone, complete with a gladiator as co-host. Despite this, it was a word game; three contestants competed to unscramble words from letters showing on the nine reels on a giant slot machine.

 

However, despite the similar looking board, this wasn't anything like ''[[Countdown]]''; players answered trivia questions from a category related to the word to earn the right to reveal the correct position of one of the letters. Cash was awarded for each correct answer, plus a chance to solve the puzzle.

* [[Bonus Round]]: Two formats were used.

** The first had letters drawn like lottery balls until nine letters that could form a word had been drawn, then Caesar said '''[[Catch Phrase|STOP]]''', and the winner had 10 seconds to guess the word. Letters would be placed, much like the main game, one for each day the contestant has been the champion.

** Also a piece of music played during the second version of the [[Bonus Round]] would start slowly and rapidly speed up in tempo as time ran out.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Caesar says, '''STOP!'''", followed by Ahmad's "Caesar says 'Stop', so we do..."

* [[Pilot]]: Taped in 1992, with a betting format for the maingame. Amusingly, the last word in the audience game is "PILOT".
