Beat Shazam is a FOX primetime game show that's like Name That Tune for the 21st century.
Premise
Three teams compete for the right to beat the world famous musical app and win $1,000,000.
Gameplay
Main Game
To start, a category with a dollar amount for each song is revealed. Then a series of songs under that category is played. When a song starts playing, four possible song titles is revealed. The teams secretly lock in their answer choices and the one who chooses the correct song wins the money. If two or all three chooses the right title, then the team who locked in the fastest win the money. DJ October announces the winner of the question and their times would be displayed on their podiums. Each category has five songs and the last song in each category is called the "Fast Track" song, which is worth double the dollars.
Now here are the values:
| Category # | Value of first four songs | Value of fifth song ("Fast Track") |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| 2 | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| 3 | $3,000 | $6,000 |
| 4 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| 5 | $10,000 | $20,000 |
Six categories are played and after the first three categories, the team with the lowest dollar total will be eliminated from the game. Once the sixth and final category is finished, the team with the most money wins the game and goes on to try and beat Shazam for $1,000,000. The 1st runner up team will leave with half the cash.
Beat Shazam
In the final round, the winning team will try to identify six more songs before the app Shazam does for lots more money. The first five songs are worth $25,000 each and the sixth and final song will double the team's bank. Prior to the final song, the winning team can decide to stop the game and keep all of their money or go for it and try to Beat Shazam and double their money. If the winning fails to Beat Shazam, they lose half their bank. However, if the winning team can beat Shazam by naming all six songs correctly, their winnings will be augmented to $1,000,000.
