From The TV IV

Now You See It was a game show airing on CBS.

The game starts with two teams and a returning champion, sitting above. The two teams face a game board showing a grid of letters forming words joined together (some forming words within words). The letter spaces are numbered going 1 to 4 down and 1 to 16 across. One member of each team has his/her back turned. A question is asked and a team member facing the board rings in to give the line in which the answer is found. The partner now turns around to locate the position where the answer is. Correctly spotting it scores points determined by the line and position (e.g.: line 2, position 7 scores 9 points).

The team with the highest score after time expires wins, and the other team eliminated. The members of the winning team now face each other. A clue is given, and the letters on the first line appear one at a time. The player who rings in and gives the correct answer scored a point. The next clue is given, and additional letters are added to form the next answer. Five points wins the round.

The winning player now faces the champion mano-a-mano in regular game play. The winner is champion and vies for $5000 in the end game.

Facing a stylus pen screen of the game board, the player has 60 seconds to locate and circle correct answers from clues given. He/she wins $100 for each correct answer, all ten win $5000. If all ten are not answered, the jackpot goes up $1000 until it is won.

In November 1974, the show changed its rules with two players in the letter-at-a-time round with the winner facing the champ in the championship round.

Now You See It returned on April 3, 1989 with an altered game play. Contestants still seek out answers on a game board of run-together words, only the score was determined by a score clock counting down from 100 until a contestant rang in.

The winning team played a qualifying game in which they sought answers to specific categories. The winner played the champion in a championship game with the winner of that vying for the $5000 in the end game.
