## **Format**

The Genius combines several elements to test the players' ability to think quickly and use their charisma and wit to gain an edge on their competitors. Each week is broken into two games, the Main Match and the Death Match with two overarching challenges that run through the whole game, Garnets and the Token of Immortality.

### **Main Match**

Each week, all players will take part in the Main Match. In this game, players must work together within the rules of the day's game to win. The one or multiple people who meet the winning criteria for the game will be declared the winner or joint winners and receive a Token of Life, granting them immunity for the round. If there is a sole winner of a Main Match, they will receive an additional Token of Life to give to another player.

### **Death Match**

The loser or losers of the Main Match will be the first Death Match candidate. If multiple players are declared joint losers, the winner(s) must select one to be the Death Match candidate. The Death Match candidate will then select one other player without a Token of Life to compete head to head in the Death Match. These two players must use their wits, social connections, and genius strategies to beat their opponent and survive the round.

### **Garnets**

Garnets are the currency of the game. Each player will start with one and at the start and end of each Main Match, everyone's Garnet count will be revealed. Players can earn Garnets in Main Matches and spend them for advantages. The Death Match winner will also receive all of the Death Match loser's garnets. Garnets are used at the end of the game for a major advantage at winning the season.

### **Token of Immortality**

Each week, the winner(s) will receive a clue to the Token of Immortality. This item is hidden somewhere in the game and the first person to find it can use it at any Token Ceremony to be excluded from the Death Match.

### **Finale**

When two players remain, the Finale will occur. The jury of the 11 most recently eliminated players will conduct a typical question and answer session, although much shorter in nature. After, they will assign an advantage to one of the two players, lending their support through the rest of the finale. In addition, the player with the most Garnets will receive a 12th advantage. The Final Two will then compete in a series of three Death Matches, with the first two win two winning the season. The members of the jury will be able to participate in the finale to help or hinder either member of the Final Two.

## **Voting History**

* VOTING HISTORY
* MAIN MATCHES
* DEATH MATCHES

* **Majority Rules:** Players were asked a series of questions over three rounds. If the player answered in the majority and the majority was fewer than 10 players, they would score a point for every player they answered with. If a player had a unique answer and the majority was more than 10 players, they would score a point for every player in the majority. If the majority was exactly 10 players, each person would gain a point for the number of people with the same answer as them. The player(s) with the most points would win and the player(s) with the fewest points would lose.
* **Silent Voting Game:** Players were told to vote every hour. They could not speak except in special 1-on-1 chats that could be bought for 1 Garnet each. Every hour, the player with the most votes would be eliminated. The vote split would be revealed and the players who voted for the eliminated player would also be revealed. The first 12 rounds, ties would lead to no elimination, but all players must change their votes the following round. Rounds after, the player with the most cumulative votes would be eliminated. The last player standing or any players to survive 24 rounds would win. The player who received the most cumulative votes would be the loser.
* **Green House Game:** Players were given 5 chips to start. Players could challenge another player with more chips to a game of rock, paper, scissors. The player who was challenged would bet a number of chips that could not exceed the total number of chips their opponent had. If the player who initiated the challenge was within 3 chips of their opponent, they could call for an all-in match, otherwise they
* **Werewolf Game:** Players were assigned one of a variety of roles, sorted into three groups - Werewolves, Mafia, and Humans. Additionally, there were two independent roles. Over the course of three nights and three days, the players would take turns coming to the decision, either by themselves or with a group depending on their roles, on who to kill and then voting to kill one more player. If any group took majority during the game, they would win. If no group took majority, the group with the most players left would win. Additionally, the two independent roles were caught in a prisoner's dilemma if both died, both would lose, if neither died, neither would lose, and if one died and the other didn't the living player would win and the dead player would lose. Whichever team was declared the winner had a team that was the designated loser. Finally, any Humans who survived to the end won, no matter the winning and losing teams.
* **Ranking Game:** Over three rounds, players would send in a list of the other players in the order they wanted them to win. The player with the highest average would start by saving the top player on their list. That saved player would save the top player on their list. This would continue until two people weren't safe. The last of those two saved players would be the next List Master and start the next round, the other would be eliminated. After five eliminations, the game would pause and all remaining players must rerank each other in a new position. The player remaining at the end would win. Players' positions were added up each round, and the player with the highest cumulative number would be sent to the Death Match.
* **Zombie Game:** The game began with three Zombies. Each round, players would touch one another in a disappearing Touch channel. If two Humans touched, they would each score a point. If two Zombies touched, nothing would happen. If a Human and Zombie touched, the Human would become a Zombie. Humans turned into Zombies could take an antidote within 30 minutes to turn back into a Human. Everyone must touch each round or be turned into a Zombie. After 3 rounds, if every player was a Zombie, the original Zombies would win. If not, the Human left with the most points would win and the fewest points would lose.

- **Sphere of Influence:** Prior to the start of the game, players were asked to come up with a task that would last 10 minutes or less. The Sphere of Influence board was released, with each player and five hosts having a spot on it. The Death Match Candidates would have to complete various tasks on the board and fill other spaces with Xs or crosses. The player to complete their board in the shortest time would win.

- **Winning Streak:** After the Death Match Candidates were chosen, the remaining players were sorted in order 1 through 16. In order, each Death Match Candidate played each other player in a game of rock, paper, scissors. Draws were replayed until a winner was decided. After each Death Match Candidate had played each other player, the Candidate with the highest number of consecutive wins would win the Death Match.
