Preliminary games[edit]
- Aw Snap!: Contestants Have a Fishing Rod. The first contestant to move five apples into a basket advances.
- Blindfolded Musical Chairs: Four contestants are blindfolded and begin dancing around the stage while music plays; when it stops, they must find and sit on one of several randomly placed stools. Jk presses a button to determine where the stools will appear. As in the game of musical chairs, the number of seats is always one less than the number of participants at any given time, and the one who is unable to find an unoccupied seat is eliminated. The last remaining contestant wins. And in the Christmas special, this game is also known as Blindfolded Musical Packages.
- Danger Word: Two teams of two members each play this game. Similar to the game show Password, one person on each team is shown a "winning word" and must give clues to help their partner guess it. The two teams alternate giving clues; a correct guess earns a strike for the opposing team, whose guesser is then sprayed in the face with the contents of one of three cannons. Each round also features a secret "danger word" that is related to the winning word; if a guesser says the danger word, he/she is sprayed and his/her team earns a strike. The first team to earn three strikes is eliminated, and one member of the winning team advances to “Know or Go."
- Dizzy Dash: The game starts with Jk reading aloud a trivia question to the contestants. Before contestants can answer, they are spun around in order to disorient them. To answer the question, the contestants must run to a nearby podium and grab the ball on top of it. The first contestant to answer three questions correctly advances to the next round.
- Don't Leave Me Hanging: In this game, three contestants are suspended in the air from harnesses. The contestants take turns to guess answers that fit a given category, such as "How Many Island Countries Can You Name?". A category ends when one contestant gives an incorrect answer, repeats a previous answer, or takes too long to respond; when that happens, the contestant gets a strike. A contestant who gets three strikes is eliminated and launched to the top of the studio. The winner would then advance to the next round.
- In Your Face: In this game two Contestants compete. The Contestants attempt to Shoot a Bow as close to a target as possible. Each Contestant have two attempts, the team with the most points wins.
- Knockin' Boots: A similar game to Don't Leave Me Hanging and also Song Association - where contestants answer questions about songs with one primary word. If Jk does not believe the song has the word either in the title or in the song, the contestant gets a strike. Three strikes and then they will face being kicked by the boot above them.
- Make It Rain: For this game, two contestants Buzz In When Jk Says a Magic Number for turns at pulling down one of several umbrellas. One of the umbrellas contains a cash prize of $10,000, in addition to a chance at playing "Know or Go." The rest of the umbrellas are filled with water.
- Master Blaster: This game involves three contestants attached to bungee cords. The contestants then compete to solve a jigsaw-style puzzle. The losing contestants are "blasted" into the air and do not proceed to the next round.
- Memory Course: Two Contestants are Told a Phrase and then must complete a obstacle course then they have to say it back to Jk whoever gets more of it right moves on to Know or Go
- Mt. Saint Jk: Three contestants climb a mountain that tilts and shakes, and some climbing ropes are not attached. The first contestant to collect three diamonds wins.
- Oh Ship!: Contestants are asked multiple-choice questions and race to holes corresponding to the choices. Incorrect holes spray water in the contestants' faces. The first to collect three correct answers wins.
- One-Eyed Monster: This game uses a set of giant prop monster jaws with removable teeth, one of which will cause the jaws to close and eliminate the contestant who pulls it. The contestants took turns answering questions from Jk which have an answer that's between 0 and 5. Depending on how far away they were from the answer, they would have to pull out that amount teeth (i.e., the distance between their incorrect answer and the correct answer). If they got it right, they didn't have to pull any teeth. In season 2, the contestant in control predicts how many of 100 audience members said yes to a survey question, and their opponent guesses whether the actual number was higher or lower (similar to the game show Card Sharks). A correct high/low guess sends the contestant in control to the jaws, while a miss sends their opponent instead. The number of teeth at stake is determined by the Dispensing of a Item.
- Slippy-Go-Round: Contestants take turns moving three blocks across a series of slippery platforms while their opponent shoots a bow to impede them. The contestant with the fastest time wins. If the contestants finish it in the same amount of time, they must do it again.
- See Ya Later, Alligator: Four contestants are shown pictograms; the first to correctly state the phrase they make up gets to eliminate an opponent. The last contestant left wins.
- Son of a One-Eyed Monster: DeGeneres reads a list of words to two contestants, and the first to buzz-in and correctly state what they have in common gets to choose one of eight giant eggs. One egg allows the contestant to win, while the others spew slime. An incorrect guess allows the opponent to hear two more words before guessing.
- Stink Tank: Similar to You Bet, but the roles are reversed. (Those standing with Jk will be providing the answers while those above the pit of slime will conduct the bidding.)
- Taste Buds: Two teams of two are on Opposite Sides of a Wall, and take turns Picking up a Block and describing it to their teammate. Whichever team can guess more items correctly in a certain amount of time chooses one member to advance to play Know or Go.
- Tomb of Doom: Two Contestants must race to the top of a giant pyramid to answer a question from Jk, although the steps are covered in Traps to stop contestants. The Contestants who reaches the top of the 'pyramid' and pushes the buzzer gets to answer Jk's question. If they answer incorrectly, the turn goes to the other team. At the end of the game, the Contestants with 3 correct answers or the most points moves on to the next round.
- Tuba Toothpaste: Contestants sit at separate banks of 9 buttons that resemble the valves on a tuba. Jk asks a series of trivia questions, one to each contestant in turn. If a contestant answers incorrectly, Jk Dispenses an Item to determine how many buttons (one, two, or three) they must press. One button triggers a blast of toothpaste into the contestant's face and eliminates them from the game.
- You Bet : In this game, two teams compete against each other. One teammate from each team is suspended from the ceiling in a harness. The other two partners do an auction-style bid on how many answers their partners can give in a given category (e.g., "national brands of toothpaste") within the 30-second time frame. When one of the partners on the ground issues a challenge, the other team's suspended partner must give the required number of responses. There is no penalty for incorrect answers. Giving the required number of responses earns that team one point, while the opposing team's suspended partner gets dropped. If the challenged team fails, the corresponding spouse is dropped. The first team to earn three points wins and chooses one member of the pair to advance to the next round.
Semifinal games[edit]
Know or Go: The winners of the four preliminary games stand on a row of trap doors, and take turns answering questions. An incorrect answer results in the contestant being eliminated from the game and dropped through the trap door, sliding down a chute that empties below the stage. The last contestant standing advances to the Hot Hands game.
- For Season 1, a contestant drops when they get a question wrong. The last candidate standing moves on to Hot Hands.
- For Season 2, the game shifts to "Sudden Drop" rules when only two contestants remain. If one contestant misses a question, their opponent can eliminate them by giving the correct answer. If their opponent misses as well, the game continues.
Final games[edit]
Hot Hands: The contestant has 60 seconds to Answer Ten Trivia Questions After Every Answer, the contestant must press a button to move on to the next question . Contestants may pass if they are unsure. Contestants earn an escalating amount of money based on the number of faces they correctly identify, as shown in the table below. Correctly Answering Ten Questions earns the grand prize of $100,000.
| Correct answers | Money won |

| 1 | $100 |
