Figure it Out

Figure It Out is a television game show hosted by Summer Sanders that originally aired on Nickelodeon and is now shown on Nick Games and Sports (Nick GAS). Kids with special skills or unique achievements compete as contestants on the show while a panel of four Nickelodeon celebrities compete against the clock as they try to guess the phrase hidden on Billy the Answer Head (a large head) that describes the contestant's talent.

The game is composed of three one-minute rounds in which the panelists take turns asking yes or no questions to try to guess the contestant's talent. Each time a panelist mentions a word that is part of the phrase that describes the secret talent, the word is turned over on Billy the Answer Head, a board that shows which words of the phrase have and have not been guessed.

The contestant wins a prize after each round that his or her talent remains unguessed. After the third round, each panelist is given one final guess as to what the contestant's talent is. The game ends either when a panelist guesses the secret talent or if no panelist guesses the secret talent correctly after the "last guess" stage.

During each round, the panelists receive one clue as a hint to one of the words of the secret phrase. The clue can take the form of pantomimers (the "charade brigade") acting out a scene, physical objects, such as dates (the fruit) to indicate a clue about calendars, or a sound.

Another aspect of the game show is the "Secret Slime Action." The Secret Slime Action is an action, such as touching one's head, saying the word "is," or touching a clue. When a panelist performs the Secret Slime Action, there is a loud noise and the panelist gets slimed. Additionally, a member of the audience wins a prize when this happens.

At the conclusion of the game, after the secret talent has been revealed, the contestant demonstrates or displays his or her skill and talks about it with the host and the panelists.

Figure It Out is filmed in front of a live studio audience at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
