View Full Version : Miniclip (Hollywood) Squares Rules (and Example Game WITH PICTURES!!!)

02 March 2008, 11:58 PM
We all know how to play Tic Tac Tow right? Simple, just get three in a row and you win! Maybe a little too simple right? So listen up if you’ve never seen the show.
____________________

Object of the Game:

Get three of your symbol in a row to win! If there is a tie who ever has the most symbols wins!
____________________

How to place A Symbol:

Instead of just simply saying where you want to place your X or O you have to work for it. In each of the 9 squares of the playing board there will be a fellow former. Then the host (Me!) will ask the person in the square a question. The questions I have all have two answers Myth or Fact. After the person in the square answers the question it is up to the contestant to Agree or Disagree.

-If you agree and they get it right then you get the square.
-If you agree and they get it wrong then your opponent gets the square.
-If you disagree and they get it right then your opponent gets the square.
-If you disagree and they get it wrong then you get the square.

Get it?
____________________

Exceptions:

There is an exception though. You can not win from your opponents blunder. If you are going to try to block an opponent from winning you would say “I choose RFS for the block.” If you get the square then you make the block, but if you don’t get it then your opponent gets to play for the win.
____________________

Here is an example game using numbers instead of people:

Host: Welcome to Miniclip Squares! I’m your host Vital Viper and we have quite the show for you today. Contestant A you are Xs who would you like to start the game off with?

Contestant A: I would like Square #5 Please.

Host: OK Square #5 here is your question:

“Category Is Business” In retaliation for European Union's decision to ban genetically modified crops from America, the U. S. placed an embargo on all European red wine containing blood.

Myth or Fact?

Square #5: Oh I think I remember seeing this in the news! Apparently we did something similar to Cuba with Cuban Cigars since that is their main export. My answer is Fact!

Host: Contestant A do you agree or disagree?

Contestant A: Square 5 seems pretty sure about his answer, I’m going to have to agree.

Host: Oh I’m sorry it is actually a Myth, Contestant B gets the Square.

Host: OK Contestant B it is you turn please choose a square.
Contestant B: Thanks I would like Square # 1.

Host: OK Square #1 here is your question:

“Classic Myths” The word handicap comes from the phrase ‘cap in hand’ and refers to begging - something that the physically disabled had to resort to in years gone by.

Myth or Fact?

Square #1: It makes sense to me but these classic myths can be tricky. I really don’t trust the logic in this though, I’m going to have to say Myth.

Host: Contestant B do you agree or disagree?

Contestant B: The logic does seem a little TOO simple, I’m going to agree with Square #1.

Host: You are absolutely right! Contestant B gets the square!

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3792/examplehws2rw0.png

Host: OK Contestant A it is you turn please choose a square.

Contestant A: I need Square # 9 for the block.

Host: OK Square # 9 here is your question:

“Category Is Crime” On December 4, 1981, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, D. W. Davies was sentenced to 10,000 years in prison for murdering 3 people, one of whom was his mother-in-law.

Myth or Fact?

Square #9: This seems false to me, wouldn’t they just sentence him to life in prison? The mother-in-law thing has got to be a joke, but then again it’s something you know lots of people WANT to do, lol. This has to be a Myth.

Host: Contestant A do you agree or disagree?

Contestant A: I agree, I hope this isn’t true!

Host: Ouch, it is true but your safe for now. Contestant B has to earn the win. The board remains the same!

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3792/examplehws2rw0.png

Host: Contestant B which square would you like?

Contestant B: Square 9 for the win!

Host: OK Square # 9 here is the question:

“Category Is Celebrity” A Press Your Luck game show contestant who memorized the game board’s light sequences won more than $1000,000.

Myth or Fact?

Square 9: I use to watch that show and the thing blinked pretty fast, I don’t think someone could time it right let alone memorize which blinks mean which place it would stop. Logically this has to be a Myth.

Host: Contestant B, for the win, do you agree or disagree?

Contestant B: I’ve heard a lot worse about people cheating on game shows, I find this one believable. I disagree with Square 9.

Host: Congratulations it IS true, you win and advance to the next round!

The contestant selects which star they want to be asked their question.

That Star is then asked a question.

The Star answers the questions and tries to convince them that their answer is right! (Even if you think it is wrong)

The contestant then chooses to agree or disagree with the answer the star gave.

understand? You may want to re read the rules and the example game.

Pitty also said you can have his spot as a contestant. :O
Looks like she has lots of options :P

This is how it works...
-Vital makes a statement to a contestant ie. "Kitchen counters are made of many things including granite. Is this true or false?"
-The contestant picks a person in a square to answer it (such as me). I say, (for example), "No, that is a myth because granite is a rock that is found only in the Blue Ridge Mountains and is too soft to make into counter tops." (This is the wrong answer, by the way)
-The contestant has to agree or disagree with what the "Square" has said. So contestants don't answer questions...they have to determine if the "Square" has the correct answer or not.


Does this make it clearer for you, or not? Just my way of explaining it.

Yes, we can give a wrong answer if we don't KNOW the answer OR if we want to make the game more interesting. The answer must be plausable though...can't be something that someone would know is a bluff or just dumb.:rolleyes: And we have to give a reason WHY we choose the answer that we did.

This is gonna be AWESOME!!!:D:D:D

In your show you can fool around all you want, just don't double post or answer your opponents question :P

Any other comments are best made on the audience thread.

Great, Spem is the only star to have a question so far.

I was convinced RFS (being the center square) would get all the first questions :P

Yea, as you can tell I've lost my voice recently :roll:

I like to put time in between repeating things. Notice the Super Hero Lounge has yet to come back. My prediction is that we will likely have another SHL before Season two ;)

Can I be a square in season 2?
I can't promise any spots this far in advance.
