Eye Guess

Eye Guess was a television game show (1966-1969) created by Bob Stewart and hosted by Bill Cullen.

Two contestants saw a 3×3 game board on which eight answers were revealed for a few seconds and then hidden from view. The middle Eye Guess square remained blank. Players had to remember the location of the answers and match them by number to the questions asked by the host. A player could call for the Eye Guess box if he thought that the answer to the question was not among the eight revealed choices. Choosing an incorrect number for a question could yield some very funny results, which was part of this simple show's appeal.

Each game consisted of two boards, with correct answers worth 10 points on the first board and 20 on the second. The first player to reach 100 points won the game.

In the bonus round, players called out numbers on a new board, which concealed seven prizes and a Stop sign. They could stop after every prize uncovered and keep the total, or continue to play, taking the chance that the Stop sign could be uncovered and bankrupt them. Players who uncovered all seven prizes before finding the Stop sign won a super bonus prize (such as a new car).

Bob Stewart is best known for creating The $10,000 Pyramid. In the early days of television he worked for Goodson-Todman Productions where he was involved with such classics as Password, To Tell The Truth and the original version of The Price is Right. Eye Guess was his first show as an independent producer.

This series was one of many NBC daytime shows that fell victim to the network's 1978 videotape-recycling efforts. Only one full episode of Eye Guess (and part of another) is known to exist today. The complete episode is in the possession of GSN, and has been shown on that network in the past.
