College Mad House

A version of Fun House for college students aired in weekly syndication, and was titled College Mad House. This version was hosted by future Academy Award-nominated actor and television personality Greg Kinnear, and pitted two teams of four students each from rival colleges against each other (for example, one episode featured the University of Texas versus the University of Arkansas). Instead of cheerleaders, a male and a female "referee" assisted with the gameplay. Veteran V/O Beau Weaver (currently an infomercial host) was the announcer.

This version featured much more risqué content and stunts than the children's version, often involving crude college gross-out humor and games that required lewd bodily movements among the participants. The format was basically the same, but with some notable differences:

The stunts were changed to accommodate four-person teams; the two men from each team faced each other, then the two women, with all four players on each team participating in the third stunt.

The Grand Prix round was replaced with the "Finals", in which the teams lined up face-to-face at the podiums. Jump-in-questions from a specific category were asked; getting a question right earned 25 points and the right to hit the opposing player in the face with a pie. These two players then rotated to the back of the line, with the next two players answering the following question. The team in the lead after a minute and a half advanced to the Mad House.

(Note: The pie in the face would carry over to the FOX version of Fun House; a correct answer to the question following a stunt allowed the player getting it right to pie his or her opponent.)

The format of the Mad House was changed slightly from that of Fun House. As in the original version, the team had two minutes; however, each player had exactly 30 seconds to collect as many of the 13 tags as possible. After one player's 30 seconds ended, he/she had to stop collecting tags wherever he/she was at, and the next contestant was let in immediately (although a contestant could stay in the house after 30 seconds). If a team "cleaned house" by collecting all thirteen tags, they won a trip - this rule was used instead of the Power Prize.
