How the Game Works

Host · Cold Open Welcome to CONNECT THE DOTS! Everything on this stage is connected. The question is, can you see how? Two rival teams pick a category from the board. I'll reveal clues one at a time. Hit your buzzer when you've figured out how they are all connected. The earlier you buzz, the more dots you bank. Get it wrong and the other team has a chance to steal. The dots you win get placed strategically on the Big Board. The team with the most coverage at the end of play wins the game and $5,000. AND goes on to the Bonus Round to play for big money! We'll get started by picking a category on the board, and remember there are a couple of SUPER DOTS hidden throughout that give you extra power on the Big Board. Ready to play? Red won the coin toss backstage, so they get to pick the first category.
The Cast

Meet the Players

Two rival teams. Each pair seems like the last people who should be partners, but even they have a hidden connection that makes them the perfect duo. Tap a team to reveal theirs.

The Hidden Plays

The Super Dots

The Hot Dot

The Shield

Win one and you get a super dot. This dot can never change color once you place it on the Big Board. And every enemy dot touching it instantly flips to your color.

The Pivot

The Sword

Solve the category and you'll get those dots to play. Then we give you a secret 6th clue that reframes the category and challenges you to come up with a new answer. Get that new answer right and the dot you place on the Big Board flips every enemy dot in one row or column.

Two of each are hidden on the category board. Nobody knows where they are until somebody picks one.

Want the deeper cut?

The Fine Print

The Big Board

Your dots go up on the board. Every new dot must touch another already there. If you bookend a row of enemy dots, those dots switch from their color to yours. Ground can be made up and lost with one smart move flipping a whole row of dots at once.

The Super Dots

Two of each are hidden on the category board. Nobody knows where they are until somebody picks one. The HOT DOT is the shield: it can never change color, and every enemy dot touching it flips to you. The PIVOT is the sword: a secret 6th clue reframes the category, and a correct new answer flips every enemy dot in a whole row or column. Early in the game with nothing to flip yet? You can bank the PIVOT and use it whenever you want.

THE LAST CONNECTION

The winner's bonus round. Twelve pictures. Four secret groups of three. Two minutes. Tap three that go together and hit SET. Each group is worth $5,000. Find all four and you clear THE LAST CONNECTION for the full $20,000 on top of your win.
