If you have not watched ROHoG, this is the simple premise: celebrities pair up/go against each other to answer or solve word-based tasks for points over the course of a week – whoever has the most points at the end of the week wins… usually some kind of themed-yet-disappointing prize. The boxed version follows the same premise, only you won’t play it over a number of days and the themed prize… well, that’s entirely up to you. So there’s a bit more to it than just a pub quiz, I’ll have you know. Just a pub quiz indeed… Please – Drink Responsibly… Week 10 (27 November–1 December 2023): Clive Anderson, Lutalo Muhammad, Sara Davies and Alison Spittle I Am Not A Robot ( first played on Series 5, Episode 6): Each player in turn is shown a picture divided into squares, resembling a CAPTCHA. They must select all squares fulfilling a particular condition (and no other squares) to earn a point. A week's worth of shows is recorded on a single day, so the celebrities are booked for only one day, [4] changing outfits between shows.
a b "Richard Osman's House of Games - Series 5, Episode 140". BBC Online . Retrieved 12 April 2021. 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. 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).Week 3 (30–31 August, 2–3, 3 September 2021): Joe Thomas, Lucy Beaumont, Jake Wood and Shazia Mirza Dim Sums ( first played on Series 1, Episode 4 & last played on Series 3, Episode 90): The pairs are given an equation (e.g.? ×? = 18). The pairs are then given four questions with numeric answers, and must choose two that produce the correct answer. A correct sum earns the players a point. Well Done If You Said That at Home ( first played on Series 4, Episode 2): The players are shown a word cloud based on something like a film, TV show or book title, generated from a home viewer survey asking for three words they would associate with the title. The cloud is revealed to the players from the least popular word to the most popular. The players must buzz in with the correct title for a point. The title of this round is a reference to Osman's other quiz show, Pointless, which is based on home-viewer surveys.
House of Champions Week 2 (13–17 December 2021): Maisie Adam, Dev Griffin, Ivo Graham and Zoe Lyons 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). What's in a Name? (changed to It's All In The Name in Series 2) ( first played on Series 1, Episode 2 ( Series 2, Episode 9 as It's All In The Name)): The players are given statements, the answer to which can be made using the letters from the full name of a particular player. Each player has two answers come from their name and a point is given for a correct answer, but if the player gets a correct answer from their own name, they get two points. You Spell Terrible: In your teams, one player must answer the trivia question and the other player must spell the answer.
Only Fools And Zebras ( first played on Series 6, Episode 17): Players are shown a category. A question is asked, which will have an answer from that category as part of the answer. A picture is also shown, containing a picture from the category. The player must answer the question, but substituting the picture in place of the part of the question from the category. 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.
Size Matters ( first played on Series 2, Episode 2 & last played on Series 4, Episode 58): The players are given a category and have to write down a correct answer relating to the category. The player who gives the correct response with the most letters in the answer wins a point, and they get a bonus point if the correct answer is the longest possible answer. On 20 November 2020, Osman launched a five-episode spin-off called Richard Osman's House of Games Night, broadcast weekly in primetime on BBC One. [18] A one-episode Christmas Special aired on 28 December 2020. [19] A second series, consisting of six episodes, began on 1 October 2021. [20] Double Trouble ( first played on Series 6, Episode 35): Players are given a letter. They are then given two clues to things which each have a word that starts with that letter. They have to say the word of each answer that starts with the letter to earn a point. Richard's Junk ( first played on Series 5, Episode 17): At the start of the round, all players are shown a picture of some of Osman's various junk items. Players are given 15 seconds to memorise the items before the picture disappears. Players are then asked a series of questions for which the answer is one of the items in the picture (often in a punning way). They must buzz in with the correct answer to earn a point. After each question, the relevant item is revealed and is not used in future questions in that round. After all questions are asked, the first player to buzz in and name all items in the picture that were not used earns a bonus point. The game was named Santa's Junk for Festive House of Games, with the items being presented in person by Father Christmas. 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.

House of Champions Week 3 (2–6 March 2020): Chizzy Akudolu, Miles Jupp, Ellie Taylor and Amol Rajan Get Your Junk Out ( first played on Series 2, Episode 3, Round 4 & last played on Series 2, Episode 6, Round 1): This round is played in exactly the same way as Richard's Junk from the regular show. However, instead of the junk items being shown on the screen, ten members of the audience physically hold up the junk items for the contestants to see (during the 15-second memorisation period and when the items are given as correct answers).
