Main Game: Two teams of three competed. Each consisted of two celebrities and a civilian contestant. The player that is called up gets 60 seconds to draw whatever was on the card. Whenever the doorbell rang, he/she could hand it off to one of his/her partners. But the value drops from $200 to $100. When time is up, the other team gets one chance to steal the money. In any case, if the team that gets the answer is successful, they get them money. The order of play for a team is: Celebrity, Celebrity, Contestant. All players get equal turns.
End Game: In the Speed Round, each team designates one player to draw as many sketches as possible within 90 seconds. The team that is ahead goes first. Whoever has the most money at the end would get an extra $1000 bonus. If there was a tie at the end of the game, both players split the $1000 bonus.
