The Big Wheel of Twisted Trivia
The Big Wheel is the "Twisted" in Twisted Trivia!
It is what makes each & every game interesting & thrilling.
Every time it is spun, people cheer. People clap. They hold their breath.
They all look on to see where it will stop. For some, it may mean big points.
For others, it might mean catching up to the rest of the pack or, even better,
coming from behind & taking the lead.
For everyone, however, it is the path you have to take to victory!!!
The Wedges
The Bonuses
The Bombs
There are 20 point wedges that can be landed on at any time, ranging from 500 points to 5,000 points. When The Wheel stops spinning, whichever point value The Wheel has stopped on is what the teams that answered correctly will earn.
There are 4 bonuses, 1 Double-Up, 1 Triple-Up, & 2 High-Value wedges. Double-Up's & Triple-Up's act as multipliers, doubling or tripling the value of the subsequent spin. The High Value wedges are worth 2,500 & 5,000 points & there are only one of each.
There are 2 pitfalls, both of them represented by "bombs." Both of them are the size of all of the other wedges. If a player lands on one during a spin, all teams gain zero points. The QuizMaster recommends staying away from them if you can.
When Spinning The Wheel...
-
The Wheel must go around at least once every time it has been spun. If it fails to make it around once completely, it will be reset to the wedge it was last on & will be respun.
-
It does not matter what direction The Wheel is spun. Generally, there may be more room on one side of The Wheel for a spinner to stand & spin, but there is no rule against spinning The Wheel from the other side.
-
If a spinner lands on a Double-Up or a Triple-Up, they will be asked to spin The Wheel again. Whatever point value The Wheel lands on will be doubled or tripled. If the spinner lands on a Double-Up or Triple-Up again, unfortunately the Double-Up or Triple-Up DOES NOT get doubled or tripled. The spinner will simply be asked to spin again until they land on a point value. And yes, the bombs are still at play- double zero or triple zero is, unfortunately, still zero. :(
