Where Is Kazakhstan? ( first played on Series 1, Episode 3): The players are given a map of a certain part of the world on their tablets. They are given a question and have to point on their map where they think it is. The closest to the correct place wins a point. Win When They're Singing ( first played on Series 3, Episode 16): The players hear the introduction to a well-known song, then, after a few seconds, it is faded out. They need to buzz in when they think the first word is sung in that particular song to win themselves a point. House of Champions Week 4 (9–13 March 2020): Holly Walsh, Nish Kumar, Sarah Greene and Hugh Dennis. Totes Emoji (Team Game)– Have your smart device handy as one team member will be the drawer and the other the guesses. You have to correctly answer the title only using emojis to help. You Spell Terrible – also a team game (actually, each of the team games can be played individually, but it’s more fun/sillier with more players). A question is asked; a player buzzes in with the answer; their partner has to spell the answer correctly. Incorrect spellings can mean bonus points for other team/players if they spell them correctly.

House of Champions Week 2 (13–17 December 2021): Maisie Adam, Dev Griffin, Ivo Graham and Zoe Lyons The (Not Quite So) Nice Round ( only played on Series 3, Episode 44): Same as The Nice Round except that each player, rather than nominating another player for giving a good clue, nominates a player to have a point deducted for a bad clue. Vowel Movement ( first played on Series 4, Episode 9): The players are given a list of up to four items, one at a time, however all of the vowels have been changed in a substitution cipher, which may vary from clue to clue. They must buzz in with the category that links the correctly spelled items for a point. There's No 'I' in Osman ( first played on Series 4, Episode 47): The players are made to stand up and, in turn, offer a correct answer to a category which Osman gives. Their answers must not contain a certain letter, for example "Monopoly spaces without an 'I '". If a player fails to give Osman a correct answer, they sit down. The last player standing wins a point.House of Games: Give the answers to the two trivia questions. Both the answers are anagrams of one another. Correction Centre – a phrase is read out and one of the words in the phrase is incorrect – the player who can give the correct word that allows the phrase to make sense gets the point and gets the point. Cine-Nyms ( first played on Series 1, Episode 7 & last played on Series 2, Episode 50): The players are shown a quote from a film, but all its words have been replaced with synonyms of the actual words used. They need to work out the film for a point. The rounds are just like they are on TV. For example ‘You Spell Terrible’ requires players to get into pairs and use the buzzer (which is included in the box) to try and correctly spell the answer to a question that’s given by the host. My favourite round was the ‘Totes Emoji’ one where you use a smart device to draw emojis that depict the title of something. We had a lot of laughs when we reached that round.

You Complete Me: One player in the team must give the first half of the answer and the other player must give the second. Two Clues in One ( first played on Series 3, Episode 9): The players are given a category and are then given a clue to an answer related to that category, which has the same initials as the answer.You Spell Terrible ( first played on Series 3, Episode 2): The pairs are given a question which one player must buzz in to say the correct answer, and the other player must spell it out correctly to get a point. The Two Wrongies ( first played on Series 3, Episode 43 & last played on Series 3, Episode 92): All the players are asked general knowledge questions before the show, and the players in each pair have to guess what wrong answer was said by their teammates to the questions they answered incorrectly. The name of the round alludes to the comedy double act The Two Ronnies. Reichard Ösmans Haus Der Spiele (changed to Reichard Ösmanns Haus Der Spiele in Series 4) ( first played on Series 3, Episode 50): The pairs choose from a list of categories in different languages, and are given a multiple-choice question in that language. They choose which of the three possible answers (also in the said foreign language) is the correct one. Richard Osman's Blank of Blanks ( first played on Series 7, Episode 20): Each player of one pair blanks out a word in a question for the other pair. An incorrect answer unblanks the question for a steal opportunity.

The series follows the exact same format as the main show, but with the addition of rounds not seen in the original. There are no double points in the final episode. Series 2 features a house band led by David O'Doherty. In 2022, House of Games Night was cancelled Answer Smash – in this round, you are given two definitions to two words that you have to buzz in and smash together – for instance, Anacondoleezza Rice for constricting snake and former secretary of state (yes, I am that much fun). There are four rounds of game categories to play, and the fifth and final game is the Answer Smash. For this, none of the players takes on the role of host. After three Answer Smash cards have been played, the game is over. The most points scored wins the game. Series 2, Group 2: Steph McGovern, Ben Miller, Janette Manrara and Ed Balls (tie between McGovern and Balls)The Answer's in the Question ( first played on Series 1, Episode 5): The players are shown a statement based on a category. Part of it is in capitals, that need to be rearranged to create an answer that is relevant to the category in question and described by the statement. Okay, so the box is waaaay too big for the game, you don’t get any score cards or pencils (you do get a stand up Richard Osman trophy though) and there’s only one Richard Osman Buzzer (there’s only one Richard Osman Buzzer! One-Richard-Osssssssman-Buzzer etc.), but you do get a lot of question cards and there is a lot of variety in the rounds – some of the references are more for families of a certain age, but you could say that about any quiz-based game. It also has the potential for a lot of silly fun and plays like three or four Big Potato Games in one (though it doesn’t quite match the production standards). After winning the first three episodes of his 2020 week, on the Thursday episode, comedian Rufus Hound wrongly answered “Kings of Leon-ardo DiCaprio” to an Answer Smash instead of the correct answer “Kings of Leon-ardo Da Vinci”. In a faux (or perhaps not faux) rage, he stood up, flipped his chair over and ran around the studio screaming, having blown his chance of a perfect streak. After he won again on the Friday episode, his fellow contestants Jayde Adams, Scott Mills and Josie D’Arby all flipped their chairs in tribute. a b "Richard Osman's House of Games - Series 2, Episode 50". BBC Online . Retrieved 6 February 2019. Highbrow Lowbrow ( first played on Series 2, Episode 2): The players are given two questions with the same answer; however, one of them is highbrow (a more academic question) and the other is lowbrow (a more pop culture question). If they get the question right after the highbrow clue, they get two points; however, they only receive one point if they get the question correct after the lowbrow clue. If they fail to answer the lowbrow question correctly, other players may buzz in with the answer for one point.
