Pre-existing knowledge and internet-based research game show

摘要

The present invention provides a game that integrates the use of the Internet in a very unique way. There are two distinct components of the game. The first component is a daily thirty-minute television show, viewed by a home television audience. In the television show, the contestants are tested and rewarded not only for having pre-existing knowledge of facts but also for their research skills using the Internet to find answers to questions and to complete designated projects. The second component is a Web site that replicates the television show so that at-home computer users can compete for prizes and a chance to be on a future television show.
