Geeks Who Drink was a weekly short-lived game show based on the nationwide pub trivia contest of the same name.
Premise[]
In each installment, two teams of three self-proclaimed trivia geeks (including a celebrity captain) competed in rapid-fire quizzes that covered topics from pop culture to science fiction. After a lot of raucous gameplay and (mostly) friendly competition, the winning team would earn bragging rights, a spot on the show's leaderboard, and a bevy of prizes to "geek" out over.
The game itself was played in four rounds.
Round 1[]
This round was played in two parts
Speed Round[]
To start, Levi would flip a coin with the word "geek" on one side, and "drink" on the other. Whoever won would play first. He would then ask each contestant a series of questions with the same two choices. Each correct answer put $10 in their bank. Two categories were played, meaning a team could score a maximum of $60.
Toss-Up Round[]
Levi would ask a series of questions from a certain category (some of which were visuals). Each correct answer was worth $10. The first team whose captain buzzed in with the correct answer won the money; an incorrect answer gave the opponents a chance to answer.
Round 2[]
This round was played in three parts.
Mini-Game[]
Contestants had to answer questions based on the structure of the category. Each correct answer was worth $20.
Wild Card[]
A celebrity guest would ask a question, and a correct answer was worth $20.
NOTE: Sometimes this segment was played in the first round, with a correct answer being worth $10.
Group Challenge[]
This was a competitive version of the Race Game from The Price is Right. Each team went to a podium with a series of items on it. They had to match each item to the correct answers, or simply put them in a certain order. When they thought they were all correct, the captain would hit a buzzer. The first team with a complete match won $50.
Round 3[]
This round was played in two parts.
Mathbuster[]
Levi would ask a mathematics based question. The teams had fifteen seconds to write down their answers. A correct answer earned that team $100.
NOTE: Sometimes there were two questions in this segment, with each correct answer worth $50.
Bar Game[]
The team captains competed in a stunt of some sort, and the winner would get to choose the category for the final round.
Final Round: Last Call[]
The team who won the Bar Game would choose a category, and decide whether to go first or second. The teams would then go back and forth naming items that fit the category. In a manner similar to Pass the Buck, a correct answer kept them in the game, while an incorrect answer eliminated them. When one team was completely eliminated, the other team would win $100 for each player left standing.
The team with the highest score won the game, kept the money, and won bonus prizes.
