Rules
The rules are mostly the same as other versions, with a few minor differences. Teams do not always consist of five family members; they may be friends, colleagues, or members of a sports team. After four questions (three from 1993 to 1998), with only the last question worth double, the leading team won the championship. When the show moved to RTL 4 in 1993, a bonus game was added at the start: each contestant answered a question, earning ƒ1000 for the number one answer, ƒ500 for number two, or ƒ250 for number three. From 1982 until 1998, the top prize was ƒ5000, awarded when a team scored over 200 points in the final round; otherwise, each point earned one guilder plus one guilder per point from the main game, with bonus game money added. After 1998, the bonus game was dropped. From 2005, the top prize was €5000 for scoring over 200 points in the final round. On the current revival, naming all five top answers in the final doubles the jackpot to €10,000.
