"This is (couple #1); they've been married for (number of years), and these are their children, (insert names here)! (repeat two more times) Today, these three families will compete to win Mom and Dad a romantic… Second Honeymoon! And now, here's the host of Second Honeymoon, Wayne Cox!"

Second Honeymoon (or 2nd Honeymoon) was a game show from Vancouver, Canada that played very similar to American game show The Newlywed Game where families competed to win the parents a second honeymoon.

Gameplay[]

Modeled after The Newlywed Game, three couples and their children (comprising three teams of four to eight contestants) answered questions to win (as the title says) a second honeymoon. The children (who were aged between 8 and 30 years old) were asked a series of multiple-choice questions in the style of Newlywed to see how much they knew their parents.

The game was played in three rounds with a total of five questions. The questions in the first two rounds had four possible answers.

Round 1[]

In Round 1, the kids were asked two questions to see how much they knew their mothers. They predicted how their mothers would answer the same questions. A correct match on the first question was worth 20 points, while a correct match on the second question was worth 40 points.

Round 2[]

In Round 2, the kids were asked two more questions except they predicted how their fathers would answer the questions. A correct match on the first question was worth 60 points, while a correct match on the second question was worth 80 points.

Round 3[]

In the final round, the kids along with their mothers independently predicted how the fathers would answer one last question which was open-ended; the responses were written on large index cards. Each match was worth 100 points (for a possible total of 300 points & a possible overall grand total of 500 points).


The family with the most points at the end of the game won the grand prize: the second honeymoon. A tie between two or all three teams for first place at the end of the final round was broken by a tiebreaker question; the first team to secure a correct match won the game.
