Gameplay[]
Two teams, each composed of a celebrity guest and a studio contestant, competed. Each celebrity chose one of five objects, each with a different time limit, for their opponents to play. The opposing celebrity was shown the given object and directed their contestant partner on how to draw it. If the contestant correctly identified the object, their team got a point. If time expired, the other team got a point. The first team to score three points won $200, with the losing contestant getting $100. If the fifth picture was needed, Jerry would raffle off the picture to the celebrities for the lowest bid, starting at the pre-set time limit.
The winning team then played a bonus game with a 60-second time limit. The celebrity drew up to six objects, with each correct identification from the contestant awarding $50, for a total of $300 for all six. As a result, the most a contestant could win was $500.
Two new contestants competed in each game, of which there were two per week.
