"The Rebus Game! Television's most inglorious and exciting game. Brought to you by (insert two sponsors) and by (insert third sponsor). And here to run the fun and name the game, your ref and rebus boy, Jack Linkletter!"
The Rebus Game was ABC's short-lived answer to Concentration.
Gameplay[]
After two pairs of contestants were given the category of the day, one member of a team would have 45 seconds to draw a syllable in the secret word. If the drawer's partner correctly identified the syllable, the team scored 10 points. If not, one player from the other team would draw a syllable. If neither team identified a syllable after two turns each, the word would be discarded. The player who guessed a syllable could score another 10 points by correctly identifying the secret word from the drawn syllables.
The top scoring team of the day would play the Rebus Race. The team would be given 60 seconds to guess as many words related to the day's category by solving rebuses broken down by drawn syllables. The team earned $50 for each rebus they solved.
Both teams competed for an entire week.
Peter Tomarken, future host of Press Your Luck, appeared as a contestant on this show with his first wife, Dana.
