Gameplay
The show had two versions

Version #1
To start one hidden strip was revealed, then a toss-up incomplete sentence was read to two contestants (one from each team (contestants & celebrities alternated turns)). The first player to buzz-in and correctly complete the sentence won the choice of one of the remaining strips to reveal next. An incorrect answer gave the opposing team a chance to reveal a strip. The first two questions revealed one strip, and the next two revealed two. Should all seven spaces be revealed but without a correct guess, the team now answered questions to switch two pieces, with no chance to switch for either team for each incorrect answer. The first team to guess the celebrity's identity won the game, $150 in cash and the right to play the "Three of a Kind" game to make his/her cash total $500.

Three of a Kind (Bonus Game)
Three pairs of eyes, noses & mouths were briefly shown, and one partner was asked to search for those. The players of the winning team alternated turns trying who's what belonged to. The first two correct answers were worth an additional $50, while guessing all three celebrities won the contestant an additional $250 for a top total of $500.

Version #2
Rules were mostly the same except now that the questions were removed, and both teams alternated turns picking off strips for their opponents, not themselves. When the picture was revealed, that's when the teams started switch picture parts two at a time. Each picture was worth $100, and two pictures won the match, a total of $200 and the right to play the revised bonus game.

Bonus Game 2.0
Four celebrity faces were played with the eyes, noses & mouths always shown; again the winning team tried to guess who's face it is. The bonus was now played against the 60 second clock. Each correct answer was again worth $50, and solving all four pictures was worth $500.

Pilot
The pilot was played under minorly different rules though it did use the first version format. The winning contestant won $200 instead of $150, and winning the bonus game had the $500 prize be added to the winning contestant's total, making it a total of $700.
