[edit] Super Search
The winning team got to do the super search. They had to raid all 8 rooms in 4 minutes (3 minutes in the Brazier versions) to get a super prize. The more rooms raided, the better the prize.
[edit] Trivia
- The rooms would rain silly string and streamers to distract the contestants
- For the tv audience only while the team were searching an arrow apreared pointing to where the object is. The colour of this arrow changed every few years.
- In the original US series, money was awarded for each room or question. This was changed to points in the UK version, as children cannot win cash on a game show in the UK.
