opponent could then take control by giving the correct answer; if he/she also missed, the next question was played as a toss-up. After the first episode, this format was abandoned and all words were played as toss-ups. Beginning with the 101st episode and continuing until the adoption of the second main game format, contestants were asked to scan the board and write down one word from the board each at the beginning of each half of the Elimination Game and the Finals. A contestant or team earned a 10-point bonus for correctly answering a question with one of their chosen words, but had to reveal it immediately upon using it in order to score. Format #2 On December 16, 1974, Now You See It underwent a significant change in format.

If the champion won the Solo Game, the contestant defeated returned for the next game as champion-designate. Under this format, a new game began as soon as the previous Solo Game ended. Play continued until time ran out, then resumed on the next episode. 1989 version On October 20, 1988, a pilot was filmed. When Now You See It was picked up in 1989, it kept the basic game format introduced late in the first series' run, with a qualifying round and a championship round.

The game was conducted on a three-tiered stage, with each round of play conducted on one of the three levels and covered by a large ring covered in chase lighting that was raised when
