Fast Reflexes

Super-quick buzzer skills are one of the keys to winning. Players must wait until the host finishes reading the question before the buzzers become active. An off-camera staff member presses a button that turns the buzzers on.

Two long lights appear on either side of the game board, which signify that the buzzers are active. Then, contestants race to hit their button for a chance to answer the clue. However, if the buzzer is hit too soon, it’s locked for a quarter of a second. If you’re too early or too late, there’s a high probability that someone else will answer the clue correctly.
