Winsanity

Winsanity is an American television game show broadcast by Game Show Network (GSN). The series, hosted by Donald Faison, premiered June 9, 2016.

The game starts with a contestant being chosen from the audience. Every person is given a glowing wristband called a winwatch, so they can participate in the game. To start the show, Faison hits the "Winsanity" button on the stage to lock in on a random contestant by turning their winwatch green. Once that contestant is chosen, they join Faison on the stage and win prizes for themselves and the audience.

The objective of the game is to place ten numerical facts in order with the highest number on top and the lowest number on the bottom. Each round builds upon the previously placed facts, making the last round the hardest.

At the start of each round, announcer Kira Soltanovich starts the selector to choose additional audience members. The contestant hits the Winsanity button, which randomly chooses a select number of members of the audience. Soltanovich announces a prize that can be won by both the contestant and the audience. Faison then announces how many members of the audience were selected. Soltanovich announces the topic for the round. From there, Faison announces what the facts are and the contestant decides where on the list they need to go.

If the contestant places a fact in the wrong spot, someone else from the audience takes their place and finishes off the list. Also, if the original contestant placed a fact incorrectly in a later round than the first round, then all of the prizes are taken away except for the prize in the first round. If the contestant playing in the fourth round is a contestant who won prizes in a previous round, they're given the option to walk away with all of the prizes that they already won or continue playing.

The audience was split into two color-coded sections, the purple section and the gold section. One contestant from the purple section was randomly selected to go head to head against a contestant who was randomly selected from the gold section.

In the first round, a starter fact is placed on the board with its number revealed with four more facts that are given. The contestants take turns placing each fact. Correct answers are worth $100 on the first turn and $200 on the second turn. Incorrect answers earn no money.

In the second round, four more facts are given in addition to the five facts from the first round. Correct answers are worth $300 on the first turn and $400 on the second turn.
