Gameplay
Host Race would ask three couples a series of multiple-choice questions about how to parent their children. Their job was to match answers with a resident child psychologist. Each time they did that, they earned points.

Each consisted of five questions. On the first four questions, each player on each team answered individually. On the final question, all three couples must agree and come up with a team answer.

Scoring
Here's how the scoring works: Questions 1 & 2 - 5 points (10 for agreement) Question 3 - 10 points (20 for agreement) Question 4 - 15 points (30 for agreement) Final Question - 30 points

The couple with the most points wins the game, and wins a grand prize.
