It's Your Move (not to be confused with the short-lived 1984-85 NBC sitcom of the same name) was a short-lived charades-style game show.

Gameplay[]

Two teams of two contestants bid against each other on how little time it would take to mime certain words to their partner. Fulfilling the bid scored a point which the other team scored if the acting team ran out of time. Three points won a prize, and $15 if the team scored at least one point on their own. The winners chose one of the three words they scored and revealed either a merchandise item, up to $250 in cash, or a dinner for two. Two games won the match, and five games won a grand prize such as a trip.

Trivia[]
