The Guild Owner greets them again after removing the blindfolds and headphones. Guild Owner: Hello again. I got something that's fun I was watching earlier. Its also another show I used to watch as a kid. Have a seat and I'll tell you about as messy that...
(alarm sound as the Guild Owner gets drenched in nickelodeon slime) Guild Owner: This is what I am talking about but this will come up again in moment. The show is called Figure It Out, its also Children's Show as this is the show that is centered on Hidden Talents. Care to hear about it and why a person can get slimed on that show? Check it out... The Guild owner plays a video on his computer...
Computer: In just a few sections, our panelists will try to uncover some highly unusual secrets. So if you want to guess along with the panelists, cover your ears, close your eyes, here comes out first Secret now... (Insert Player name and hidden talent here) It's Figure It Out! The show that its In to the Out There! Our Panelists' job is to find out why our players are here. The catch is, they can only answer Yes or No Questions, so here comes our Panelists now! (Example Panelists: From Kingdom Hearts AU, Kairi the Little Mermaid Also From Kindom Hearts AU, Kairi's sister; Namine the Little Mermaid Also From Kindom Hearts AU, Kairi's sister; Xion the Little Mermaid and From Wise Man's Grandchild, Shin Wolford) Let's watch as they try to Figure It Out!
The girls were quiet, having no idea what was going on.

Guild Owner: Figure It Out is a Children's Game on Nickelodeon from 1997 to 1999 that's based around Hidden Talents. In each show consists of 2 games and 4 Panelists. The Classic Version has 3 Incarnations hosted by Summer Sanders, former 1992 Olympic Swimming Athlete. The Incarnations are Original, Family Style & Wild Style. In each game we're introduced to the show's mascot, "Billy the Answer Head". In the actual show the Blanks ranged from 6 to 8 Spaces. But in a fandom sense, more Blanks spaces could be added. Billy the Answer Head Board shows the Player's Hidden Talent as the Panelists' job is to find out what that Player's Hidden Talent is. When a Panelist says a Keyword related to the Hidden Talent, as sound will play as the Keyword is revealed on the board. The Panelists will ask Yes or No Questions only as they have 3 Rounds in which to do so. Every time a player stumps the Panelists in a Round, that Player gets a Prize and if the Player stumps the Panelists after 3 Rounds, Sudden Death included which I will go over the rules of Sudden Death later, that Player gets the Grand Prize. The Hidden Talents in that show are really fun, more on that later. Here's the layout of the Panelists Row... Far Left = Panelist 1 Middle Left = Panelist 2 Middle Right = Panelist 3 Far Right = Panelist 4
= Game 1-2: Rounds 1-3 Gameplay Guild Owner: As I said before Yes or No Questions only as per the rules of the actual show. When its a Panelist's Turn, that Panelist can ask a Yes or No Question. If the player says Yes, that Panelist gets another turn. However, if the player says No, that Panelist's turn ends and the next Panelist proceeds with his or her question about the Hidden Talent. If a Panelist can't think of a Yes or No Question, that Panelist can choose to end his or her turn by Passing their turn to the next Panelist. Should a Yes or No Question sound confusing, the player can ask the Host for help and the Host can turn to the Judges for an answer. During a Round, Clues will appear to help the Panelists come up with a Yes or No Question relating to that clue. By Round 2, a random audience member has a shot at winning a prize as before each show a Secret Slime Action is chosen & should a Panelist preform it, he or she will get slimed, as it happened to me 2 Posts ago. So if they need to put a hat on but I don't have hat on at the moment and now I'm drenched in Slime so please excuse me... The Guild Owner leaves to room to get cleaned up.
*Time Card: A Few Moments Later...* The Guild Owner returns in fresh clothes. Guild Owner: The Secret Slime Action I did earlier was "Saying the word, Messy". The Secret Slime Action can happen in Round 2 or 3 after its introduction in Round 2. Between Rounds, the Host recaps both the Answer Head and Clue Recap.
= Clues & Sudden Death Guild Owner: During a Round, Clues appear in anyway Possible. After 3 Rounds have passed, all 4 Panelists must stop asking Yes or No Questions, and the game goes into Sudden Death. In the Sudden Death Round, each Panelists must speak their Final Guesses to reveal what's left on the Answer Head Board by guessing what is on the Answer Head board directly & if the Panelists still do not know. That Player reveals what the Hidden Talent was as that Player gets the Grand Prize.
= Post Game Guild Owner: At the conclusion of the current game, we hear the Prizes what the Player has won, then no matter the outcome, win or lose, that Player gets to preform that Hidden Talent & what the Player's Hidden Talent is about. The only known episode I recorded but can't find is Fishbowl Water Dish & Cookie Stacking Contest. Guest Stars from Global Guts, All That, Pete & Pete and All That are in that Episode.
Do you think 4 of us could be Panelists or players, Sirpa. Aedelyn asked Sirpa.
Neither of thee girls understood what any of what was said meant. Sirpa blinked confused by the question. What was she supposed to answer? "I'm not sure?"

*Game 2-2: Gameplay* Guild Owner: After we see the First Hidden Talent for the First Player, the Second Player gives us a Sneak Peak like the First Player did before the Opening. When Game 2 starts, the next player enters as we are introduced to the next player & new Answer Head is shown where there's new blanks. The Rules & Gameplay are the same as before, Yes or No Questions only. But unlike Game 1, these who watch the Television show at home are reminded on what the Second Player's Hidden Talent is & if the home viewers wish to guess alongside the Panelists then as mentioned in the opening, "Cover your ears and Close your eyes" while we hear the Second Player's Hidden Talent once more. Just like before if the Player stumps the Panelists in 3 Rounds, Sudden Death included, that player gets the Grand Prize.
*Family Style 1998* Guild Owner: Figure It Out Family Style is the Second Version of Figure It Out in 1998 for the show's 3rd Season. Both Players bring a family member or a friend to be his or teammate for that Hidden Talent as the Host, Rules and Billy the Answer Head remains unchanged but with a few refinements such as the addition to Little Billy the Answer Head. I forgot to mention that across the incarnations, it a Panelist's name is lit up, we would know who's turn it is to ask Yes or No Questions. Figure It Out Family Style delivers a bigger, messy...
(alarm sound as the Guild Owner gets drenched in nickelodeon slime) Guild Owner: Not again... fun time. The Minor Change is that in some episodes during Family Style, the players can win one more Extra Prize should they stump the panelists again if the panelists are unable to guess the Hidden Talent in more detail on Little Billy the Answer Head which has one Extra Blank Space. After that, like the Original Incarnation, that Hidden Talent is preformed and we hear what the Hidden Talent is about. One thing I forgot to mention is that when Passing a Turn to the next Panelist, a current Panelist can say "Pass" to skip his or her turn to ask Yes or No Questions.
Maybe we can ask where the Hidden Talents take place during post game on this so-called Figure It Out Children’s game? Aedelyn asked Sirpa.
"Um, where does that hidden talent take place?" Sirpa asked, feeling lost.

*Post Game Hidden Talents* Guild Owner: The Hidden Talents shown Post Game across the 3 Figure It Out can take place Inside the Figure It Out Sound Stage, Outside the Nickelodeon Studios or Somewhere in the Universal Studios Theme Park at Orlando. As mentioned before, the Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando which means when you come to the Universal Studios Florida from 1990 to 2004, you can visit the Nickelodeon Studios, see Figure It Out Live in Person, the Hidden Talents after each game during a show or if anyone has a Hidden Talent, that person can audition to be on Figure It Out.
*Little Billy the Answer Head* Guild Owner: During Figure It Out Family Style. After 3 Rounds, regardless of the outcome, the player can win one extra prize by stumping the Panelists one last time. The Panelists are asked a question about the player's Hidden Talent as Little Billy the Answer Head has the answer in a single blank. Like Sudden Death in the Regular Game, the Panelists make their Final Guesses and if they can't give the answer, the player gives the answer and gets the prize. Then the Hidden Talent is preformed & we hear more about it, win or lose. One instance of this is during Episode 3, Game 1-2 of Family Style that asks how long are the Squirrel's skis which were 11 inches.
*Wild Style 1999* Guild Owner: Figure It Out Wild Style is the Third and Final Incarnation of the Classic Era of Figure It Out in 1999 for the show's 4th Season. Like Family Style and the Original, Players bring a family member or a friend to be his or teammate if they want to for that Hidden Talent as the Host & Rules remains unchanged but with a few refinements such as the Billy the Answer Head having different animal designs. In this Incarnation, CatDog from the Nicktoon of the same name made an appearance in the Final Episode.
*Reboot 2012* Guild Owner: Figure It Out also got a Reboot from 2012 to 2013 with some significant changes. Jeff Sutphen was the Host, Billy the Answer Head was replaced with the It Board while the Gameplay remains the same. I have not seen this version nor can I find it. So I have no memories of the Figure It Out Reboot as did not see that series since I missed out on it.
Eldin whispered to Aulona. What animal Boards does Billy the Answer Head use during Figure It Out Wild Style in 1999 & what animals are shown?
"What animal boards does Billy use in 1999, and what animals are shown?"

*Wild Style Content* Guild Owner: The animals shown throughout Figure It Out Wild Style in 1999 are... Gators Squirrels Rabbits Turtles Dogs Snakes Pigs Roosters Cows Horses Lobsters Lizards Hamsters Tigers Deer Llamas Raccoons Cats Fish Goats Ducks Birds Kangaroos Snails Dolphins Sea Monkeys Monkeys Ponies These animals also preform Hidden Talents alongside the Players as these animals are domesticated or if there's an animal related Hidden Talent in this Third Incarnation. Billy the Answer Head's board designs in Figure It Out Wild Style are... Goats Buffalos Elephants Pot Bellied Pigs Birds During Wild Style, at the Podium where Summer Sanders stands with the Players, there's an addition of a small fish tank aquarium as a cosmetic decoration.
The girls were just confusd, having no idea what that question or answer was about.

*Mid Credits Bonus* Guild Owner: A Figure It Out show taping ends after 2 Games per show. During the End Credits, they really fun to watch as we get a preview of what's yet to come in earlier episodes during Season 1. This is where Summer Sanders speaks to the Audience to see who has a Hidden Talent, which are small in scale. Well, I guess that's all I know about Figure It Out other than the fact that it was recorded at the Nickelodeon Studios.
Eldin whispered Do you think it would be fun if we gave this so called Figure It Out OOC Game a shot, Aulona?
