How it plays

How does The $100,000 Pyramid play?

The game presents quiz rounds from the perspective of a game-show participant. Players work through category-based clue rounds, attempting to identify answers supplied by a partner or to provide clues that lead to the displayed answers.

Progression follows the television format and leads toward a pyramid-style final round. Completing categories and solving more answers improves the contestant's position, while the final challenge tests speed, recall, and word association rather than reflexes.
