Blockbusters: Gold Run
After winning a best-of-three match against an opponent, competitors in the TV
quiz Blockbusters faced a Gold Run for prizes. Like the main game, this took
place on a 5×4 grid of interlocked hexagons, each representing a question.
Correct answers turn the hexagon to your colour, and incorrect answers turn it
to the opposition colour (in this case, black, blocking your path). The big
difference is that the questions are multi-word, with GEM perhaps representing
Green Eyed Monster. In the early days players could go on to face 5 Gold Runs;
in the later years it became 3 (probably because players who’d won so many
standard games were more likely to win the big prizes). This home version is
built around the same structure, and has 9 skill levels, dictating how much
time you have.
