Runaround was a kids game show with lots of running involved.
Gameplay
Nine children would be read a question with three possible answers. The children would then be asked to "Runaround...now!" to one of three sections which corresponded to the choices. Any players not on the section representing the correct answer were eliminated from the round. After one or no players remained, all children came back into play. The player with the most correct answers (represented by pink balls in each player's transparent) won a grand prize package.
