Game play

The game involves three child contestants trying to obtain "Year Spheres" to get the biggest over-all score to win the game. Each Year Sphere contains a year which is either AD or BC. If the sphere contains an AD year then the year is ADded to the player's score at the end of the show, but if it contains a BC year then it is suBtraCted (unfortunate if you get a Stone Age date, possibly worth a million minus points). The spheres are obtained by the player when they win a challenge or a quiz round.

The randomly selected histories used for the quiz rounds are

Awful Egyptians (common) (Appearances : 7)
Gorgeous Georgians (uncommon) (Appearances : 6)
Vile Victorians (common) (Appearances : 9)
Rotten Romans (rare)(Appearances : 3)
Putrid Pirates (uncommon)(Appearances : 5)
Measly Middle Ages (common)(Appearances : 9)
Terrible Tudors (common)(Appearances : 7)
Vicious Vikings (uncommon) (Appearances : 6)

Though Frightful First World War can be seen amongst the Gory Grid, it was never used.

The Gory Games

The games were divided into five categories; "Brainy" (challenges that tested mental ability), "Messy" (challenges that sometimes involve gunge), "Scary" (the scariest challenges created), "Silly" (challenges supposed to make audience laugh), and the eponymous "Gory" (like scary games yet more disgusting): GO MONICA IN EPISODE 9!!
