ABSTRACT:
A television game show is interactively played by the studio participant game players, the television studio audience and by telephone with the television-viewing home audience, where a set of numbers are disposed on a master board positioned on the studio stage, the numbers in the set correspond to a specified portion of the telephone numbers of the home audience, and a predetermined number of game boards are used in association with the set of numbers on the master board for playing the game. Each game board includes a matrix of five rows and five columns to provide twenty-five squares, each square containing a number corresponding to a number on the master board. The numbers on the master board are selected by chance, and the selected number is indicated in the square of the game board having that particular number. Alternatively, the numbers on the master board are selected by the game players, and indicated in the square of the game board of the game player after correctly answering a question. The game is finished when one game board registers a win by having a consecutive horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of squares containing the selected numbers therein. The game player having the winning game board is a winner, and the members of the studio audience previously assigned the winning game board are also winners. All members of the home audience having any one of the numbers, as the specified part of their telephone numbers, in the winning line of squares are eligible to win.
