Accordingly, any of the two forms may be:

The Grand Question

until the end of round 4.

This is a big task that is given at the beginning of the game and the participants have time until the end of the fourth round to pass it on. If they can't figure it out from the beginning, they can take advantage of hints in the next rounds. These clues are in the form of questions related to the GLOBAL QUESTION that relate to some part of it.

A GOLEMIAN QUESTION carries 7 points if known at the end of the First Round; 5 — at the end of the Second Round; 3 at the end of the Third Round; and 1 point if given the correct answer at the end of the Fourth Round.

Round 1

General knowledge(screaming)

15 pointsIt's 20 minutes.Question 10

Each team is given a list of 10 questions from a common culture. The questions are the same for everyone, and each team has half an hour to solve them. The advantage is that the participants have more time if they answer one simple question for them, for another that is more difficult for them. Moreover, this way they can communicate while listening to good music and drinking.

The eighth and ninth questions have a higher difficulty and have two points, and the tenth question has a star and has four points, so the total points of the whole circle are 15. (7×1 + 2×2 + 1×4)

Duration of operation: 20 minutes.

Circles 1—4

The two additional questions

At the end of each round from 1 to 4, there are two additional questions.

The denial question: It's assumed that this is an easier question than the others, and it doesn't score points.
The bonus question is, These are questions from Game Of Brains mechanics. Any team that answers all four of these questions correctly during the game wins a special prize that is announced at the beginning of the game (most often these are token points).
Round two

Logic

15 pointsIt's 20 minutes.5 tasks

This is the circle of thought.

  • Logical tasks
  • Mathematical tasks
  • Chemical tasks
  • Biological tasks

So the first one gets 1 point, the second one gets 2 points, and so on to the fifth one gets 5 points.

Time: about 20 minutes.

Here again a sheet is given to each team and music is played. If there are questions that require it — on the screen, the visual or video questions are rotated in a few seconds. Again there are bonus/malus questions.

Round 4

Themed round

Pointing as Circle 1It's 20 minutes.

It's a circle on a predetermined topic and there's only questions from it, and that in a team that's been competing against each other for a long time would give an advantage to some of them who haven't performed well so far.

It's like round one, you split the cards again, and the contestants have 20 minutes.

Mechanics for selecting a topic +

In the weeks leading up to a specific episode on the GAME page, topics (usually six) are published, from which participants choose by voting. Sometimes there are more topics that have collected relatively the same vote — then some of them are chosen and the others are kept for the next episode.

There are subjects that are visual/musical.In this case, it's possible that three of the voting subjects will also be included in the episode.One in the third round, one in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Between four and five.

Disclosure of the GOLEMIAN QUESTION

After round 4, the GOLEMIAN QUESTION is revealed; the four questions from the circles that were related to it are shown and the link is explained.

Return of the unused HINT Tokens. Each carries a point.
Round 5

Your questions(Themes two)

points = number of teams90 sec. / question

It's a special circle that's totally different from all the others, and in this circle, teams ask each other their own questions, and this could be the defining circle that's going to turn the whole game around.

The mechanics are as follows: when announcing the competition, a theme is chosen. On this theme, each team must prepare their own question to send to the other teams.

The number of points allocated for each question is equal to the number of teams.

How's the distribution of points going?

No one knows. — The question team loses three points. (He made himself very clever!)

Everybody knows — Each team gets 1 point, and the one who wrote the question loses 1 point. (He wasn't creative enough with the question)

Some know — the points are distributed between the team that wrote the question and the teams that knew it. when they can't divide it exactly, the points are recorded exactly until the first digit of the decimal point is rounded. that is, for the 4 teams that have to divide 7 points, each team gets 1.8.

Answer time is 90 seconds, then the answer sheets are handed over to be viewed at the same time, and you move on to the next question that's on another team.

You know the rules. Now choose your token.

24 tokens across five rarity levels — hints, steals, duels and boosts for your points.
