How to Play
Follow in the footsteps of your favourite celebrities and experience the excitement and tension of the TV quiz show in your own home with The Weakest Link. Will you show more wit than your favourite comedian, or will you be one of the contestants leaving with nothing? Here’s a reminder of how to play.
The Rules
The Weakest Link is the quiz game with a difference – in order to win, the players must act as a team, working together to build chains of correct answers and round by round getting rid of the person who they think is The Weakest Link. To become The Strongest Link you’ll need to use both your general knowledge and your strategic skills – should you ‘bank’ the points in the chain or risk losing them all by failing to answer your question correctly? And can you spot and eliminate The Weakest Link in your team?
What You Need
The Weakest Link can be played by any number of players but ideally there should be four or more, one of whom will be the quiz master (see page 5 for playing with two or three players or on your own). Each player will need a pencil and a sheet or pad of paper. The quiz master may also want a pencil and paper to keep a tally of the scores, and a way to keep the time if playing timed rounds.
The Rounds
The quiz master opens the book to the Rounds section. At the beginning of the first round, the quiz master asks the first question to the player whose name is alphabetically first, then the second question to the player on their left, and so on, asking each player a question in turn. In the following rounds, the person to the left of the last player to answer in the previous round now goes first. The questions are pre-arranged into rounds of 20 questions which you can follow, however, the length of each round can also be determined in a couple of other ways:
Timing
As in The Weakest Link TV programme, each round can have a time limit, starting with 2 minutes 30 seconds for the first round, and cutting off 10 seconds from each further round. Round two would therefore be 2 minutes 20 seconds, round three would be 2 minutes 10 seconds, round four would be 2 minutes, and so on, until you reach a final round of 90 seconds. In this case you may use up more than the 20 questions of a single round. In the first round the quiz master will have to keep an eye on the time; in later rounds one of the eliminated players could be responsible for timing.
Ques T ions Per Player
You could decide to ask each player three, four or five questions in each round. Again, the quiz master might use up the 20 round questions and would have to carry the scoring over.
Scoring
The aim of the players in each round is to reach a target of 1,000 points.
The quiz master is responsible for keeping a tally of the team’s score for each round, using the points chain on each right-hand page. At the beginning of the round, the quiz master puts a finger on the bottom link of the chain: 20. This is the amount that the first
question is worth. If the question is answered correctly, the quiz master will move their finger up to the next link: 50. If the second question is answered correctly, the quiz master moves it up to the third link: 100. If a question is answered incorrectly, the chain is broken and the points are lost (unless banked as below); the quiz master returns to the bottom link of the chain. Scoring continues in this manner either until the end of the round or when the 1,000point target is reached.
Players must work as a team to win as many points as possible. The fastest way to reach 1,000 points is to answer a chain of nine correct answers in a row. However, players can bank the points before the chain is broken by a wrong answer or before the round comes to an end. They do this by calling ‘bank’ when it comes to their turn to answer a question, but before the question has been asked. When ‘bank’ is called, the number of points below the quiz master’s finger goes into the bank. So if their finger is on 100 when ‘bank’ is called, the team has banked 50 points. The quiz master writes down the points banked either in the spaces provided or on a separate piece of paper. The quiz master then puts their finger back on 20 to start a new chain and asks the player who banked the points their question. If the players reach their 1,000-point target, the round finishes early. They cannot exceed 1,000 points per round.
It is up to the skill and judgement of each player whether to bank the points, thereby securing them but breaking the chain, or to carry on and try to build the chain higher, but risk losing it all if they can’t answer their question correctly.
At the end of the first round, the quiz master adds up all the points banked. This balance is then brought forward to the next round, and can be written in the space at the top of the next righthand page to keep a running total of the points for the game.
The Weakest Link
Who thinks Kyiv was named after a famous chicken dish? Who thinks the Capulets are a way of taking Ibuprofen? It’s time to vote off The Weakest Link.
At the end of each round, each player must decide who has been The Weakest Link, answering the fewest questions correctly or failing to bank points. Players write their selections on their pieces of paper, which they hold up at the same time. The player with the most votes is The Weakest Link, and is sent off with the words ‘You are the weakest link . . . Goodbye!’
In the event of a draw, responsibility for naming The Weakest Link lies with those who have already been voted off. These players should continue to keep track of the game so that they can cast their votes if necessary. And maybe settle some old scores.
Once The Weakest Link has been decided, the quiz master starts a new round with the remaining players.
The Last Round
When there are only two players left, they have the opportunity to increase their points by doubling their total for the round. This is then added to the running total for the previous rounds. It is these points that the players will then play for in the final.
Final
After the last round, the two remaining players go head-to-head in a final battle to establish, once and for all, who is The Strongest Link. The players take it in turns to answer five questions each. The player who was The Strongest Link in the previous round (as decided by either the quiz master or the voted-out players) can decide whether to answer first or second. The quiz master should mark each question correct or incorrect in the spaces provided. The player who answers the most questions correctly is the winner, and The Strongest Link.
Tie-Breaker
If there is a tie after five questions, tie-breaker questions are asked in a ‘sudden death’ until there is a winner. If player A gets
their question correct, then player B will have to answer their question correctly to stay in the game. If player A gets their question wrong, then player B can win by answering their next question correctly.
Playing with Two or Three Players
When playing with two or three players, you can take it in turns to ask a round of questions to one opponent. After each question the player has the chance to bank their points or continue to build up the chain of points.
After the round ends, the player’s points are totalled. That player then becomes the quiz master for the next round. If there are three players, they will quiz the third player, who will then test the first quiz master in the next round. If there are two players they simply take it in turns to be quiz master. After a set number of rounds, decided before the beginning of the game, the player with the most points is The Strongest Link.
Testing Your Own Knowledge
Of course, you can also use this book on your own to test your general knowledge. Cover up the answers, and try to answer 20 questions, then check how many you got right. Award yourself one point for each question answered correctly and see if you can improve your score with the next round.
Sharpen your wits and bring your game face – it’s time to play
