Pyramid (Australian Kids Game Show)

This is an Australian junior version of the US format also called Pyramid (which also had a junior version back in the 1970s). As per Australian guidelines the kids don't play for money but for points & prizes. Unlike in America, there was only one Pyramid and that Pyramid is made of 6 screens.

## Gameplay

### Main Game

There are two teams that consist of two kids and a celebrity competing in a game of word communication. Each team in turn chose a category, and then a subject under that category was given. Each subject has six words/phrases/names (ala Donny Osmond's Pyramid). The team had 30 seconds to guess the six answers that fit into the category. One player described each item while the other player tried to guess what the words are. Each correct word was worth five points. If at any time the clue giver gave away any part of the answer or conveyed the essence of the answer, the word was thrown out. If a team can get all six answers in the topic then they get however many seconds were left on the clock as points. In the first series after the first round there was a bonus prize behind one of the categories.

In the first round the celebrity will see the answer and have to act it out.

The second round is just like the first except the teams changed celebrity partners.

In round three the tables turn and the kids have to act it out to the celebrity.

At the end of the game, the team with the most points won the game. If after three rounds the scores are tied, the host will read out a set of clues and the first contestant to buzz in and give the correct answer will go to the final round. Should that contestant pass or give an incorrect answer, their opposition wins the game instead. The winning team plays the Prize Round where only the two kids will play.

### Bonus Game

The giver of the winning team faced the pyramid board of six subjects with the guesser having his/her back to the board. The winning team had 60 seconds to climb up to the top of the pyramid by getting all six. On each subject, the giver gave a list of items that fit the subject while the guesser tried to guess what they all have in common. As soon as the guesser gets the right subject or passed, they moved on to the next subject to the right. Upon a pass, the team can come back to it if there's time leftover. If at any time the giver gave an illegal clue (giving away part of the answer, conveying the essence of the answer, descriptions of the category or a synonym), the subject was re-concealed. In the second series, the answers were similar to the ones played in the earlier rounds and the clue giver simply must give clue in the same style as the main game. Each correct answer won a prize, and getting all six won a grand prize.

The Pyramid (2012)

This is chronicling the 2012 GSN version of ***Pyramid*** (better known as ***The Pyramid***).

## Game Format

### Main Game

The game is played with two teams of two players (consisting of one celebrity & one contestant) in a game of word communication. Each game starts with the introduction of six categories arranged in a pyramid. In the main game, a category's position on the pyramid was not an indicator of its difficulty. The categories were usually puns hinting to the content within that subject.

Each team in turn chose a category, and then a subject under that category was given. Each subject has seven words/phrases/names. The team had 30 seconds to guess the seven answers that fit into the category. One player described each item while the other player tried to guess what the words are. Each correct word was worth one point. When a word was passed, it could be returned to if time permits. If at any time the clue giver gave away any part of the answer or conveyed the essence of the answer, a cuckoo sounded and the word was thrown out. Should a team get seven out of seven in any turn, the contestant wins $500.

#### Tie-Breakers

If the game ended in a tie, the game shifted into a tie-breaker situation. The team that caused the tie had a choice between two letters leaving the other for the other team. Both teams had 30 seconds to get as many items beginning with their letter(s) as they can. The team that got the most won the game.

### Winner's Circle

The giver of the winning team faced a larger pyramid board of six subjects with the guesser having his/her back to the board. The winning team had 60 seconds to climb up to the top of the pyramid by getting all six. On each subject, the giver gave a list of items that fit the subject while the guesser tried to guess what they all have in common. As soon as the guesser gets the right subject or passed, they moved on to the next subject to the right. Upon a pass, the team can come back to it if there's time leftover though the guesser can still get the subject without going back to it. If at any time the giver gave an illegal clue (giving away part of the answer, conveying the essence of the answer, descriptions of the category, prepositional phrases or a synonym) a buzzer would sound, the subject was re-concealed and the team forfeited the chance at the big money. The giver was discouraged from using his/her hands which is why they were strapped into the chair, and prepositional phrases were also outlawed. Even though the big money was forfeited, the team can still go for the other subjects, because when time ran out, the contestant still won money attached to the subjects guessed; of course, getting all six in 60 seconds without illegal clues won the grand cash prize.

#### Payoffs

Here are the amounts for each subject:

The Winner's Circle prize is determined by how many 7/7's the team got in the front game, starting at $10,000 and increasing to as much as $25,000.
Terry Lester

**Terry Lester** (April 13, 1950 – November 28, 2003) was an American Actor. He was best known to soap opera audiences as the original Jack Abbott on the CBS soap *The Young and The Restless* from 1980-1989. He appeared as a frequent celebrity guest on both *The (New) $25,000 Pyramid* and *The $100,000 Pyramid*.

Lester was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated from high school at Southport High School and soon began pursuing an acting career while at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana in musical theater, concert performances, along with numerous primetime TV guest roles. He starred in the 1976 children's series *Ark II*, followed with roles in *Airport 1975* and the 1978 Kiss movie *Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park*.

It wasn't until 1980 when he landed his big break. He joined the CBS daytime soap *The Young and the Restless*, originating the role of Jack Abbott, a scoundrel who never met a woman (including his own father's wife) he didn't want to take to bed. Lester became so popular with soap opera audiences that *Y&R* creator William J. Bell wrote an entire family for him. The series was going through a transition period which many fans believed his star quality helped the show build more viewership rising to #1 in daytime soap ratings.

In spite of his popularity and numerous Daytime Emmy nominations, by the end of the decade, Lester felt his role on the show was steadily declining. In 1989, he not only walked off the show but he also took the rare step of going to the daytime press and publicly singling out Bill Bell's young daughter, Lauralee Bell (who plays Christine Blair Williams), for his dwindling role. He felt the excess airtime given to her came at the expense of both himself and other actors. Lester was replaced by Peter Bergman, who continues in the role of Jack Abbott to this date.

Terry switched over to NBC to take over the role of Mason Capwell on *Santa Barbara* for one year. In November 1992, he jumped back to CBS as he joined *As the World Turns*, playing the role of charming Royce Keller, who was soon revealed to be suffering from multiple personalities which caused him to kill his own sister in the series. The role was complex, causing raves for Lester, but the headwriter behind the story, Douglas Marland, died suddenly in 1993 and Lester once again found his screentime diminishing, leaving the series in May 1994.

Lester's only known appearances on the game show circuit were appearing as a frequent celebrity guest on both *The $25,000 Pyramid* and *The $100,000 Pyramid*.

The remainder of his professional life consisted of appearances in primetime shows such as *Walker, Texas Ranger* and *Star Trek: Voyager* along with various tours in musicals and plays.

A 2003 LA Magazine article reported that Lester, Thom Bierdz and Michael Corbett- three stars of *The Young and the Restless* in the 1980s, were gay. Later that year, he died in his home of multiple heart attacks.
Joshua Morrow

In 1997, he co-starred in the Lifetime TV movie titled *My Stepson, My Lover* with Rachel Ward and Terry O'Quinn.

He has spent a little bit of time on the Game Show circuit. In November 1998, he appeared on a special "Soap Stars Week" on *Wheel of Fortune* (his Y&R co-star Melody Thomas Scott also competed during this week) as he and his teammate swept the game away from their opponents (Morrow played with soap stars Billy Warlock of *General Hospital* & Renee Jones of *Days of Our Lives*). A year later, he competed on a celebrity episode of
*Rock & Roll Jeopardy*, competing against Edwin McCain and Mark McGrath. In the early 2000s, he appeared alongside his "Young & Restless" co-stars on a special "Soap Stars" edition of *Family Feud* during host Richard Karn's tenure. In 2004, he appeared as a celebrity guest during "Soap Stars Week" on the Donny Osmond version of *Pyramid*. In 2009, he appeared alongside his *Y&R* co-star Daniel Goddard as special guests on *The Price is Right* and each presented a special showcase on who's more romantic. He & Goddard made return guest appearances on the game show in 2012 as part of the 10,000 episode celebration of *The Young and The Restless* (they appeared with their *Y&R* co-stars Thomas Scott and Christel Khalil).

According to a DNA analysis, Anderson descends from the Bubi people of Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea), and from the Tikar, Hausa, and Fulani people of Cameroon.

According to Anderson, his first try in the stand up comedy world was a bust. But kept on trying thanks to his future friend and fellow comedic actor Guy Torry. He and Guy would later act together in the 1999 film *Life* starring Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence.

The $25,000 Pyramid (2010)

This is chronicling ***The $25,000 Pyramid*** 2010 pilot.

## Game Format

### Main Game

The game is played with two teams of two players (consisting of one celebrity & one contestant) in a game of word communication. Each game starts with the introduction of six categories arranged in a pyramid. In the main game, a category's position on the pyramid was not an indicator of its difficulty. The categories were usually puns hinting to the content within that subject (i.e. "I'd Like to Buy a Vowel" would contain things associated with *Wheel of Fortune*).

A category was chosen at random (by the producers), and then a subject under that category was given. Each subject has seven words/phrases/names. The team had 30 seconds to guess the seven answers that fit into the category. One player described each item while the other player tried to guess what the words are. Each correct word was worth one point. When a word was passed, it cannot be returned to, but if the guesser can guess the word already passed, the team still scored. If at any time the clue giver gave away any part of the answer or conveyed the essence of the answer, a cuckoo sounded and the word was thrown out.

Each team had three turns with the celebrities giving first in round one, the contestants giving in round two, and in round three they decided amongst themselves on who's giving and who's receiving. The third and fourth categories (i.e. second category each team played) awarded a bonus prize for getting all seven. In addition, a feature was added called "Double Down", which allowed a team to play for double points.

The team with the most points won the game.

### Winner's Circle

The giver of the winning team faced a larger pyramid board of six subjects with the guesser having his/her back to the board. The winning team had 60 seconds to climb up to the top of the pyramid by getting all six. On each subject, the giver gave a list of items that fit the subject while the guesser tried to guess what they all have in common. As soon as the guesser gets the right subject or passed, they moved on to the next subject to the right. Upon a pass, the team can come back to it if there's time leftover though the guesser can still get the subject without going back to it. If at any time the giver gave an illegal clue (giving away part of the answer, conveying the essence of the answer, descriptions of the category or a synonym) a buzzer would sound, the subject was re-concealed and the team forfeited the chance at the big money. The giver was discouraged from using his/her hands which is why they were strapped into the chair, and prepositional phrases were also outlawed. Even though the big money was forfeited, the team can still go for the other subjects, because when time ran out, the contestant still won money attached to the subjects guessed; of course, getting all six in 60 seconds without illegal clues won $10,000.

Here are the amounts in the WC:

This is an hour long format; three games are played. The winners of each game played in the third game, the winner there played for a chance to augment their winnings to $25,000.
