All teams were left a KEY on their tables at the season premier, or given one at the first show they played in Season 4. 

  • The key allows a team to BANG two of the three rounds in a single show. 

  • However, to use a single key, a team must work with another team and agree to each use one in the same round in the same show. They must turn in their answer sheets and keys together. 

  • IF HOWEVER, a team has accumulated two keys via various achievements: they will not need to work with another team, and can trade in both keys in the same show to bang all three rounds in one night.

  • Keys will be awarded over the course of the season for goals both known (Big Ticket shows, specialty events) as well as those unknown (ex: quarterly ‘Secret Menu’ rewards)

  • Keys cannot be used after the end of the regular season. (ohhh you thought we forgot to put this on the site didn’t you Angus…)

The winner of any All Play round from E21 through the end of Q3 will earn an Iron Die unless all eight have already been distributed.

Iron Die are six sided and can result in rolls valued:

+1, +1, +2, +3, -1, -2.

Announce to us when you hand in a main round answer sheet that you wish to use a die (you can only use one die per round if you possess multiple)

If your roll results in positive points, they will be added to your score (pre-bang) and you can keep the die to use in a future round. Yes, you can use more than one in a night. But not two in a single round.

If your roll results in negative points they will be added to your score (pre-bang) and we will take the die and put it back in rotation to be collected in future all plays.

Yes you can trade Iron Die.

The last chance to use Iron Die will be the first week of Q4 (date tbd)

CURRENT CHIPS AS OF 5/2/25

Chips with varying powers/advantages will be rewarded each week by random draw from the Cursed Purse. 

  • Winning one of the first two standard Lightning Rounds will win a chip.

  • The High Scorer after three rounds can choose to either auto-advance to The Thunder Round OR risk it and compete in the All-Play for the chance to win it and gain the potential benefits from the Bouncy Die. Or… if applicable in the given week.. take a deal.

  • The winner of the Thunder, (hence winner of the show overall) will win two chips and a +3pt bonus to their season score.

  • Chips of two styles cannot be used in the same round (the VIVA & BOUNCE chips are exempt from this rule)

  • VIVA & BOUNCE CHIP RULE UPDATE: Henceforth known as “The Peter Rule”. If you wish to use these to spin the wheel or toss the die, you must alert us before one of the three main rounds or one of the three Lightning’s (including all play) begin. We will then announce it before starting any of those rounds and you will spin/roll before the following round’s questions are presented.

  • The only chip that can be used in mulitples in a single round is the +1 MEDUSA chip. These can be used a maximum of 3 at a time for a single round, and a total of 5 in a single show. Unless Infinite Medusa is deployed

  • Chips which add additional players, or award a point advantage to a Lightning or Thunder must be played just before that round begins.

  • All chips other than the Infinity Chip are null and void after the final week of the regular season (TBA)

Yes. More chips are to come…

If you don’t want to use the chips you collect in the moment, you can save them and trade in later for the following bonuses. All chips, regardless of variety have the same value for trade-ins.

* 10 CHIPS - 5PTS to Season Score (not in-round, not bang-able)
