Question types
The player may encounter six types of questions. If the question is answered correctly, the player moves forward one. Otherwise, they stay put. These include:

Multiple Choice - The player is read a question. After the question has been read, they get a choice of 4 answers, similar to a usual multiple choice question. Hosted by Verne.

Verne's Anagrams - An anagram (which is a word that has its letters rearranged from the actual word) will be shown at the bottom of the screen. Verne will give a clue as to what the actual word is. The player will have 20 seconds to solve the puzzle. As time goes on, letters will disappear and fill the blank spaces.

Is This For Real? - A true or false question. Stella will tell you a fact. Then she will ask, "Is this for real?". The player will have to answer "For Real" (true) or "No Way!" (false).

Spot the Difference - Two picture of the same scene. But the right scene is "photoshoped" (if you will) or altered slightly from the left. The player has find the difference before time runs out. Then the player will have to answer Right or Wrong, if you found the difference. Hosted by Stella.

Say What? - RJ will say a quotation from a person (uttered by someone dumber than most) that stated an incorrect quote. After the quote has been read, the player will have a limited amount of time to decide what the person was talking about.

Hammy's Acorn Toss - The player must roll a nut into the six scoring zones. The closer the red bar is to the middle, the further they get to move. The scoring zones are as follows: 0, 10, 20, 50, 20, 10, 0. 0 makes the player go back one space, 10 causes the player to stay put and 20 and 50 makes the player move forward one space. Hosted by RJ.

(This next one is not a question type, per se.)

Lid of Luck - The player will spin a lid, similar to a wheel. The player will either move forward one, stay put, or go back one, based on the space the player lands on. This game will appear at a random time.
