Hollywood Game Night/Games

These are the games of Hollywood Game Night.


 * Snack Round: The round is played based on what snacks they talk about. For crunchy snacks it's called "Crunch Time", for candies it's called "Home Sweets Home" and for candy bars it's called "CBI: Candy Bar Investigation". Players on both teams take turns playing this game. They are shown pictures of bowls of popular snacks or candy. The first player to buzz-in with a correct guess scored 1 or 2 points. If a player buzzes in and is wrong, the opponent takes a chance. Each pair of players who either sit across from each other or diagonally gets two turns.
 * Take the Hint: (Standard Password) The team in control is given 90 seconds to convey general items. The celebrities gave one word clues to their contestant captain to communicate to him/her with. The contestant captain in control gets only one guess per answer and each correct answer scores 1 or 5 points.
 * Lil' Picassos: Kids from schools across America drew pictures of famous people and it's up to the players to identify them. The players are given clues about the pictures to help them. The first player to buzz-in with a correct answer scores two points. Each pair of players who sit diagonally from each other gets two turns.
 * Timeline: This is played like The Price is Right’s Race Game. One celebrity player from the controlling team chosen by the contestant captain is faced with six pictures of a famous person. Sometimes they're pictures of the same person and sometimes they're different people. Also sometimes, they're pictures of different items. That celebrity has 90 seconds to place them all in chronological order from the earliest taken picture to the latest taken picture. When the controlling celebrity was done with the picture placement, he/she hit a button nearby and Jane told him/her how many that celebrity got right. Every time the controlling celebrity got less then six correct, he/she went back and made some changes. The partners are allowed to help out all the way. When time was up or if the celebrity got them all right, the controlling team scored points for each correct picture placement. When both teams took a turn, a five point bonus is awarded to the team who has gotten all six right in the faster time.
 * Celebrity Fusion: A picture is shown, an amalgamation of two celebrities who share a common name. Clues are given, and the first to buzz-in with the right answer scores. If a player buzzes in and is wrong, the opponent takes a chance. Each pair of players who sit across from each other gets a turn, minus the last pair.
 * Smash The Buzzer: All eight players participate. A category is given, along with items that may or may not fit. When a player hears an item that fits, the first to smash the buzzer scores, and the right to eliminate an opponent. If wrong, they are eliminated, and the opponent scores.
 * TV ID: (Played like Name That Tune's Bid-A-Note) A TV show title is shown, and the player must buzz-in and bid as to how few words as possible it'll take to get their partner to guess. A correct guess wins two points. Each pair of players who sit diagonally from each other gets two turns.
 * Picture Purrfect: The players are shown still shots of popular movies. There is one catch: the actor(s) in those pictures had their faces replaced with those of cats. The players' job was to buzz-in identify the film. Along the way, Jane would give cat typed puns as clues to those pictures. Both teams play the game one player at a time with each pair sitting across from each other and each correct answer scored a point.
 * Matchmaker: Teams play Concentration with pictures of celebrities. The TV monitor at stage center displays a 15 star square grid; behind the squares are celebrities. 14 of them match each other to form a host, star or character pair from a popular TV show or movie or sometimes a married couple. Players take turns stepping up to the board picking off two squares they hope will produce a match. They make their choices by touching the squares on the screen. Each time a match is made, the team whose player made that match scored points.
 * But Wait There's More!: This is a game about late night infomercial products. Pairs of celebrity players (one from each team) are shown one of those products and Jane gave clues to the item and then the players are shown eight words divided into two columns of four; two of which form the name of the product (one from each side). The first player to buzz-in gets first shot at guessing. They go back & forth until one celebrity guesses the correct product name and scores two points.
 * Lost in Translation: Players are given movie titles that are actually foreign versions of American movie titles. Jane would announce the country and then reveal the foreign title. Then after a few seconds, the title was peeled off the screen and the poster of the film is revealed one piece at a time. Each correct answer is worth one point.
 * TV/Movie Mash-Up: A mashed-up movie poster or a mash up of two TV shows is revealed to the players in control.

Each correct answer is worth a point.
 * In Other Words: Two players are shown a famous line from a movie. The first player to buzz-in has 15 seconds to say the line in an "in other words" manner without using any word from that line. If that player's team can come up with the right line, they score a point. But if they're wrong or if the giver goofs, the opponents get the point.
 * Playing the Numbers: This is played similar to Timeline. One celebrity player from the controlling team chosen by the captain is presented with seven photos that include incomplete facts, and are also given the numbers 1-9, which are meant to complete the facts. The team must figure out which number corresponds to which fact and place them correctly. Pressing the buzzer will let them know how many they have correct so far, allowing them to go back and make corrections as many times as they want until time runs out. Points are scored for each correct placement, and a bonus 5 points are awarded to the team who gets the most right or had the fastest time (in case of a tie).

 * Clue-Boom: Two players at a time compete, one per team. A category is given. One player draws a card from a bowl and gives clues to his/her teammates in order to get them to name the item written on it. Once they do, the other player takes a turn.

 * Make Up Artists: Teams have to guess which title of classic movies are real. One card says the real title, and the other three say "MAKE SOMETHING UP". If the team guessing guesses the true title, they win two points. If they do not, the team that has the cards gets the two points.
 * Four Letter Words: Teams are required to wear special black out glasses. They need to arrange the letters around to spell out four letter words which are answers to clues. Each four letter word adds points to the contestant's score. After each correct word, some players are given new letters. Each team gets up to nine words and if any team gets them all, they score a five point bonus.
 * It's the Story of My Life: Jane read excerpt from a celebrity autobiography. As soon as a team knows who wrote it, they buzz in. Guessing the correct celebrity scored two points plus a chance to score two bonus points by guessing what the title of the autobiography is. All eight players play at once and four questions were asked.
 * Letter Have It: A bunch of lettered blocks is placed on the table. A category is given and the teams alternate turns picking blocks and giving an answer that fits the category starting with the letter on the block they chose. Each correct answer is worth a point. When a player gave a wrong answer, his/her team is out of the category and the opposing team gets a chance to score bonus points by giving four additional answers (one from each player).

Now Jane gives a category and when a player's tablet lights up, he/she gets to draw a subject while the player sitting on the couch makes guesses. Jane would give clues along the way. As soon as the guesser guesses the right subject, the contestant gets two points. After a correct answer or pass, the team in control rotates. The round lasts for two minutes.
