Game flow
Before the game
Two teams each consisting of a prominent guest and one of the two team captains Bernhard Hoëcker and Elton compete against each other.
The team of two with more spectators behind them can start and choose the category of the first question. Then it goes on alternately. If the number of spectators is equal, a coin is tossed to decide where to start.
At the beginning of each program, presenter Kai Pflaume presents an interesting fact to those present and usually asks the question: "Did you know that ...?"
Main round
There are a total of twelve categories. The respective questions have three possible answers and result in 500 € if answered correctly. Each team can therefore earn a maximum of € 3000 in the main round if it answers all six questions correctly. During the main round, each team also has one opportunity to ask their part of the audience. Then the audience gets up, who think they know the answer. The answer of the selected viewer is then binding for the advice team. The questions are then answered by short films or a presentation (e.g. chemical experiment) in the studio. There are some common categories.
Finale: The master's question
After all twelve questions have been answered, the master question must be solved. First, the category of the question is given, after which the teams decide how much of the money they have earned so far to use. If a team did not earn any money in the main round, it receives a "pity euro" from the moderator to bet. But then the other team has to use all the money they have earned to keep the tension going - the “pity team” can still win, which happened for the first time in the 478th edition. If the master question is answered correctly, the staked amount is added; if the answer is wrong, the amount is subtracted. Candidates have twenty seconds to answer the master's question. The answer to the master’s question is accompanied by a piece of music by Jean Thomé , which was featured in the program What am I? became known as the theme song. The audience usually clap along. In the event of a tie, an estimation question decides. If the estimation question also results in a tie, both teams win; so far this happened once in the 537th edition.
In the end, the spectators behind the winning team receive the money they have earned. To do this, the prize amount is divided by the number of viewers. If both teams answer the master question incorrectly and have each bet everything, the audience will receive nothing.
XXL editions
In the XXL editions broadcast on Saturdays during prime time, three normal main rounds with final master's questions are played, with a total of six prominent guests appearing. If, after a master's question, both teams have the same amount in their account, an estimation question also decides on the victory. A quick guessing round will then be held with the three winners of the rounds. The two candidates who give the most correct answers here also play a final round with Elton and Bernhard Hoëcker. The winner is the team that answers three questions correctly first. The prominent guest of the winning team can decide for which good causes 50,000 € will be donated. Physicist Marcus Weber from the Physikanten & Co. has been providing tricky questions and surprising answers with his experiments in the studio since 2016 .
