Main game

Two teams of three players, each sharing a common bond (e.g., occupation, mothers-to-be, etc.) competed. Cullen read a question with finite number of seven or more answers (the actual number for each question was given). The questions included both trivia questions with a number of factual answers (for example, naming the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), and survey questions in which a chosen number of the most common responses formed the pool of acceptable answers.

One member of the champion team started the round by either giving an answer or challenging an opponent to answer. If they gave an answer and it was correct, control passed to the next member of that team in line. Each subsequent member could answer or challenge an opponent. If an answer was incorrect, the contestant was eliminated for the duration of the question, sent to the bench which slid in behind the team, and the other team took control and played in the same manner.

If a player chose to challenge and the chosen opponent gave an incorrect answer, that opponent was eliminated and the challenging team retained control, moving to the next player. If the opponent gave a correct response, their team kept control and the challenging player was eliminated.

After the fifth correct answer the host read back the answers already given for the contestants. Teams could win a question in one of two ways: by giving a seventh correct answer to the question (regardless of who gave the first six, and regardless of how many correct answers a question had) or by eliminating all three of their opponents.

The first team to win two rounds won the game, $1,000, and advanced to the bonus round. A "Seven Straight Jackpot" was later offered to any team that gave seven correct answers in a row without passing. The jackpot started at $500 and increased by that amount every time it was not won. This bonus was discontinued shortly after the format became Celebrity Hot Potato.
