Gameplay

Two families, consisting of two parents and one child, competed.

Round 1

In round one, the parents were brought into isolation, then the kids were asked two questions about their dad. Their dads were then brought out of isolation, and were asked for their answers to the same questions. Each match was worth $100. The process is then repeated with two questions about their moms.

Round 2

In round two, the kids are put in isolation. The parents are then asked two questions about their kids. The kids were then brought out to answer the same questions, with each match being worth $200.

Final question

For the last question, a numerical question about the average American family was asked. Each family had ten seconds to write down their answer. The family that came closest won $500. After this round, the family with the most money won the game, an extra prize, and moved on to the bonus round.

Bonus round

The bonus round was played for a family vacation. Up to five trivia questions would be asked of the winning team. Before each question, Eubanks would give the child the category of the question and have them decide whether mom or dad would answer it. If the team gave three wrong answers, the round ended with a loss, but if they gave three correct answers they won the trip.
