Family Links

It's time to take the modern game show to the next level. It's time to involve the whole family! In Family Links we let the entire family compete for the dreams of their life: A new car, a new kitchen, a trip to Disneyland. But they have to work together, combining their different strengths, if they want their dreams to become reality.

Family Links is the game show that brings the whole family together! In Family Links each family member represents a link and together they create a chain. If they succeed in keeping the chain together, then their biggest dreams come true. But it's hard work. It only takes one wrong answer to break the chain and lose the game...

At the start of each round a subject is given to the family, for example “Animals”. The family members must now place themselves based on what they think they know about the subject. The easiest question is given to the person to the left and the questions get harder as we move down the chain. The show has a prize ladder with seven levels representing the family's wishes. To advance to the next level on their Wish List each family member must answer one question correctly. One mistake, the chain's broken and they're out.

The family can use an Emergency Link at any time. There are three Emergency Links that can be used once each: Skip, Switch and Family. Skip gives you the opportunity to skip a question and move on to the next family member. With Switch you can switch places during the question and let another family member answer for you. The Family Emergency Link allows the family 30 seconds to come up with an answer together. The questions become more difficult as the families move their way up the List. Level Three has four different answers to choose from and the two highest levels have six different answers. Level Three on the Wish List is also a Safety Level and if a wrong answer is given you automatically drop down to that level.

After the subject of the next round is revealed, the family has the option to stop playing and claim the prizes they've already won or continue on with the risk of loosing everything.
