Game of Talents is an American game show that aired on Fox from March 10 to May 25, 2021. The show is hosted and executive produced by Wayne Brady.

Format

Two teams of two compete in each episode. In each episode, seven talents (such as "Illusionist", "Opera Singer", and "Neon Trampolinist") are presented. Six performers appear, one at a time; one of the talents is a decoy.

The first two performers are worth $10,000 each. The first performer introduces themself, and an image or short video is shown that contains clues to the performer's talent. After viewing, one team chooses to play, and guess the performer's talent, or pass, and force their opponents to do so. A correct answer earns the guessing team the money; their opponents get the money if they guess incorrectly. Each team gets one chance to choose.

The third and fourth performers are worth $15,000 each. Gameplay is the same as the first two rounds, except that the decision to play or pass must be made before the video or image is revealed.

The fifth and deciding performer is worth $60,000. In this round, teams play head-to-head. As soon as the clue is revealed, either team can lock in an answer. The first team to do so wins $60,000 and the game, if correct; if they are incorrect, their opponents win the money and the game.

The final performer is introduced and their clue is shown, as in the first four rounds. Teams can choose to walk away with their accumulated winnings or play. If the team plays and guesses correctly, their winnings are doubled, up to a potential $220,000; if they guess incorrectly, they leave with nothing.

Production
