Multiplayer/team play:
The Point Builder - A question comes up on the screen. Everyone answers in their own time.
Fastest Finger - Everyone answers as quick as they can.
Spin - A board with 5 randomly selected sports plus a 'question mark' section is placed on a wheel. Players take turns to try to stop the arrow on their wanted sport. Everybody answers the question.
World of Sport - Starting in the UK, players answer questions to move around the world through all seven continents, finally ending up back in Europe. A right answer will move a player, while a quick answer might move a player two places along. The question will be about the country that the leader is on.
Expert - Each player gets 60 seconds to make their bar as big as possible by answering questions correctly. A wrong answer makes the bar smaller.
Finish Line - Players are shown running on a treadmill with the finish tape ahead of them. To move closer, players must answer questions correctly.
Point Stealer - A question will appear and then one possible answer at a time will show up. Players must buzz as soon as they see what they think is the correct answer.
Risk - Players are shown what the question will be about. They then choose how many points they want to risk on the question.
Estimation - A question will appear. A bar at the bottom will show the amounts. An arrow moves up and down the bar. Players must buzz when the arrow is on their wanted answer.
Pass the Bomb - A bomb is randomly given to one of the players. They must answer the question that appears correctly to pass the bomb to the next player. The bomb ticks faster and faster until it explodes.
Single player:
Time Builder - The player must answer questions to get time needed for the final round. The quicker they answer, the more seconds they get.
Hot Seat - The player has as much time as achieved in Time Builder to get points. A correct answer moves the player up the point ladder. The player can bank his points at any time in between a question. A wrong answer will take the player back to the start of the ladder.
