Now You See It (British game show)
Now You See It was a Scottish television game show that aired mostly in Scotland throughout its run. It was shown to a lesser degree across some of the ITV Network. It was based upon the U.S. version of the show and used the US show's "halftime cue" as its theme music. Format. The game was centred on four contestants competing in a word search game mixed with trivia. The host asked questions and contestants buzzed in and searched for the answer on the board. Contestants had to find the line where  the correct answer appeared and then the position as well as the answer. Points were awarded for correct answers, based on the line number added or multiplied by the position number. Example: Line 3 + Position 7 = 10 points or Line 3 x Position 7 = 21 points. When time was up, the three highest-scoring players entered the ""Cryptic"" round. In this round, the answers appeared one letter at a time and the contestants were given a clue to each word. The first two players with four correct answers advanced to round three, which had the same format  as the first round except that points doubled after a player reached 50 points or more. Later, the points doubled for every other question. By 1985, the winner won £500 and played a solo round in which all of the correct answers fit a given category. The player must correctly answer seven out of twelve questions in order to win a mystery star prize. The solo round was also played on the children's versions in the 1990s. In 1993 the game was played on the children's series "Wemyss Bay 902101". Each game pitted a team of two  stars of one programme against a team of two stars from another programme. The cryptic round was played first, except that each correct answer scored two points. The second round was played exactly like the Solo Rounds from 1985–86, except that each team took one turn circling answers for 60 seconds and each correct answer scored 5 points. The third round played exactly like the first and third round of the STV series. The 1993 children's series was played exactly like the celebrity series, with each team representing their own school. The four highest scoring teams of the series  went through to the semi-finals and the series winners won a grand prize package and the runners-up in the final won a lesser prize package. On the 1994-1995 series, each game consisted of the cryptic round, in which each answer scored two points, and two Big Boards with the second Big Board being played for one minute and the point values being doubled during the last 30 seconds. One game pitted two boys and the other game pitted two girls. The two winners competed in the final game and the winner faced the Super Prize Board. The  winner chose one of two star prizes and must find the answers to seven out of ten questions in 60 seconds. Prizes. For first two series, the winner's prize was £100. In series 3, the prizes were increased to £400 for the winner and £100 for the runner up. By 1985, the winner won £500, the first runner-up won £100, and the player eliminated in the second round £50. All contestants were give an engraved crystal decanter and four glasses. For the celebrity and children's versions, prizes were awarded instead of  money. Transmissions.
