TV Show King is a trivia game for Nintendo Wii allowing up to four players, represented by Miis, to compete in rounds of varying lengths. Featuring 3000 diverse questions, the game emphasizes speed in answering multiple choice queries. Players can gamble for extra rewards and engage in a Final Duel, where the first to five points wins. A solo mode, Quiz Attack, offers a quicker quiz experience.
Up to four players, represented by Miis, compete against each other in a three, six or nine round trivia contest. The 3000 trivia questions cover a wide range of subjects, ranging from geography and general knowledge to pop culture, with a number of region specific questions.
Players are given timed multiple choice answers, with players selecting their answers on their screen with the Wii Remote, with the fastest lock-ins with the correct answer resulting in bigger prize money. Players can also take their chances for greater rewards by spinning a wheel with both good and bad outcomes after each round. At the end of the last round, the two highest scoring players are pitted against each other in the Final Duel to determine the winner.
In the Final Duel, the two finalists are asked questions, each one worth one point. Points are awarded for correct answers. If both contestants answer the same question correctly, the point is awarded to whichever player locked in with the correct answer the fastest. The first contestant to win five points is declared the winner, and half of the runner-up's money is added to the amount the winner had before the Final Duel.
In addition to the main game, a shorter quiz called `Quiz Attack` is also available for solo players.
