Test the Connection (game show)

Test the Connection is a Transmanitainian television game show.

Decider round (Head to Head)
Two teams (two challengers and the reigning champion) face each other. The question is asked and five items are revealed on the left of the board and then on the right side eight possible answers connected to the five items on the left appear. One team/player is invited to bid/predict how many answers are correct. The opponent then bids whether more or less answers than the opponent’s prediction are correct and correspond with a name on the left. If the prediction is correct this team makes the first attempt, if wrong and the opponent/s bid/s more or less correctly they have the first attempt. During each attempt the player/s activate the answer/s they believe are correct and, when ready, test the connection. If all the connection is correct and all the correct answers they proceed to the Cash Connection. If one or more answer is wrong play passes to the other side who has the next attempt. This continues until the question is won.

Cash Connection (Bonus Round)
“The Cash Connection” is played in the same format as the “Head to Head” only with different numbers of answers across five levels where increasingly higher amounts of cash are won. The team/players have five lives and each time one or more wrong answer is submitted (i.e. when a “Test” occurs and is a ‘faulty connection’) a life is lost. If all five of the lives are lost the cash from this round of Cash Connection is lost. If they choose to ‘bank’, the cash at the highest level they completed correctly is banked and safe. This game of Cash Connection then ends at this point. The players/teams are then the champions and have to win another Head to Head against another opponent, the “Challengers” for another attempt at the Cash Connection. Players are limited to three attempts at Cash Connection before they must retire altogether. The amounts of cash available at each level increase each time. If they play and lose all five lives without banking all cash not banked is lost. If they successfully complete Level Five the cash is automatically banked.
