Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of playing a game, wherein an image is initially obscured with a plurality of cover pieces. As pieces are removed during each successive turn of the game, the image is incrementally revealed until a player successfully guesses the subject matter of the image and thereby wins a current prize value, the prize value decreasing with each piece that is removed from the board before a correct guess of the subject matter has been offered. The game may be played in a game show embodiment that includes a live studio audience, each member of the audience also being a player in the game and capable of offering guesses as to the subject matter of the image. Alternately, the game may be played as a computer-implemented method over the Internet, on a stand-alone computer, phone, or the like.
