Hot Spot

A Hot Spot is usually seen in the short-lived 80s game show Wipeout.

History
One of the eleven correct answers was referred to as a "Hot Spot" with a prize attached to it. Once the Hot Spot was uncovered, the host (Tomarken) would take a token from inside his podium and place it on the desk of a contestant that found it.

In order to win the Hot Spot, he/she had to both be in possession of the token at the end of the round and have a high enough score to advance to the Challenge Round. If the contestant holding the Hot Spot uncovered a Wipeout, the token was taken away and another answer was designed as the Hot Spot.
