Blockbusters Description:

Teams competed by answering questions to win blocks on a game board. The first team to connect the blocks completely across the board won the game. They went on to play a bonus game by answering as many questions as possible within sixty seconds, earning a block for each correct answer. Connecting the blocks all the way across the board earned a $5,000 bonus.
