Correction Centre – a phrase is read out and one of the words in the phrase is incorrect – the player who can give the correct word that allows the phrase to make sense gets the point and gets the point. As Richard Osman told This Morning a year later, filming those episodes was the first time he and Oliver had met in person. They hit it off, went for drinks, and were married the following December. (As a wedding gift, her pal made her a bespoke personalised wheelie luggage so the newlyweds could have a matching set). Oliver has since appeared as a contestant in a Champions special week. The First Series Didn’t Have the Minimalist Avatars I Complete You ( first played on Series 3, Episode 45 & last played on Series 3, Episode 97): The pairs are given a question which has a two word answer. In a reverse to You Complete Me, one of the players in a pair buzzes in with the second word of the answer, and then the other player in the pair has to give the first word for them both to get a point.

Get Your Junk Out ( first played on Series 2, Episode 3, Round 4 & last played on Series 2, Episode 6, Round 1): This round is played in exactly the same way as Richard's Junk from the regular show. However, instead of the junk items being shown on the screen, ten members of the audience physically hold up the junk items for the contestants to see (during the 15-second memorisation period and when the items are given as correct answers).

Games

The Z-List ( first played on Series 3, Episode 55 & last played on Series 3, Episode 100): The pairs are given a category and have to write down a correct answer between them. The team who goes furthest down the alphabet (nearest to Z) wins a point each, and if the team gives the answer that is the furthest possible, they get 2 points each. Totes Emoji: On a smartphone, spell out one of the answers below using emojis for your teammate to guess. Redemption Week Week 2 (31 October–4 November 2022): Sian Gibson, Jean Johansson, Iain Stirling and Rav Wilding It's Not Me, It's You ( first played in Series 2, Episode 2, Round 2 & last played on Series 2, Episode 6, Round 4): Each pair in turn selects one of two pairs of categories. The two contestants then sit in front of the screen, with a divider preventing them from seeing each other. Each contestant is given a paddle with one of the categories written on it. Osman then gives a series of statements to which one of the two categories apply. For an answer to be considered correct, the contestant with the correct category must raise their paddle and the contestant without the correct category must keep theirs lowered. Giving a correct answer results in Osman moving on to the next statement. Giving an incorrect answer, both or neither contestants raising the paddles or taking too long to give an answer results in Osman declaring "incorrect" (without specifying why) and returning to the first statement. The pair have 90 seconds to give correct answers to as many unique statements as they can. They earn one point for each unique statement they gave a correct answer to. Tom, Vic and Abby ( first played on Series 6, Episode 11): The players are shown three different questions written by three different question writers, which share a common answer. They must identify the correct answer to all three questions.

I've Got The Historical Blues ( first played on Series 2, Episode 1, Round 2 & last played on Series 2, Episode 4, Round 2): David O'Doherty has the "historical blues" and he represents this by singing original songs played by the live band. O'Doherty sings each player in turn a song whose lyrics reference a historical event (Group 1) or figure (Group 2), with the final lyric being of the form "I've got the (event or figure) blues". Just before this lyric, the song stops, and the player must name the event or figure. If they do this successfully, they earn a point; otherwise, any other player can buzz in and try to take the point. Unusually for a game played in Round 2, this game is not a pairs game. Double Trouble ( first played on Series 6, Episode 35): Players are given a letter. They are then given two clues to things which each have a word that starts with that letter. They have to say the word of each answer that starts with the letter to earn a point.The Rich List ( first played on Series 1, Episode 4): The players have to write down an answer that is correct based on a statement given by the computer (there are multiple correct answers to each question). The players only get points for a correct answer that no other player chose, but as an added twist, Osman will also write down an answer to make it even harder. If he gives the same answer as a player then they don't get a point. Each round has four questions asked, and the fifth round is always the same but also has four questions – points are gained for correct answers and whoever has the most points at the end, wins (a Richard Osman-themed cardboard trophy… okay, there is a themed-yet-disappointing prize). Fairly straightforward and pub quizzy so far… but the difference is in the rounds. Redemption Week Week 1 (24–28 October 2022): Radzi Chinyanganya, Janet Ellis, Darren Harriott and Suzi Ruffell Comedian-writer-actor Jennifer Saunders appeared on the House of Games Night evening edition in November 2020, while her comedian-writer-actor husband Ade Edmondson and their daughter, actor Beattie Edmondson, appeared on the regular version in series two, three, and again in a Champions special week. (TV presenter Matt Edmondson has also appeared on the show, but is no relation.) But Richard Osman’s Famous Older Brother Hasn’t (Yet) Been On The (Not Quite So) Nice Round ( only played on Series 3, Episode 44): Same as The Nice Round except that each player, rather than nominating another player for giving a good clue, nominates a player to have a point deducted for a bad clue.

Two Clues in One ( first played on Series 3, Episode 9): The players are given a category and are then given a clue to an answer related to that category, which has the same initials as the answer.Suede bass player and novelist Matt Osman appearing as a contestant on House of Games would surely make for a great week’s TV viewing, wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it just. Angela Barnes Is (So Far) the Only Person To Have Won All Five Days

Welcome to Richard Osman’s House of Games show! This game is based on the hit BBC2 show hosted by Richard Osman since 2017. In the show, each week, a group of four celebrities compete against each other and work as a team to test their knowledge in a series of questions to win points throughout the week. The winner will be crowned at the end of the week. Don't Trust The Experts ( only played on Series 1, Episode 2, Round 4): Two experts give each player a fact in their area of expertise. Only one of these facts is true, which the player has to determine. a b "Richard Osman's House of Games - Series 2, Episode 50". BBC Online . Retrieved 6 February 2019. Week 14 (30 January–3 February 2023): Kirsten O'Brien, Christine Ohuruogu, Mike Bubbins and Kai Widdrington Coming Up Next... ( only played on Series 2, Episode 5, Round 4): This round is played in exactly the same way as All in the Details from the regular show.

Hidden in Plain Sight ( first played on Series 4, Episode 14): The players are shown a statement based on a category. There is also a certain string of letters in the statement that spell out, in their entirety, the answer to the category description. These strings of letters can be inside of one word or can overlap through several words. The player must identify the answer and where the answer is spelled out in the question for the point. Clash In The Attic ( only played on Series 1, Episode 3, Round 4): The players are given questions before the show and must find an object in the House of Games attic that provides the answers to the questions. The title is a pun on the reality show Cash in the Attic. After winning the first three episodes of his 2020 week, on the Thursday episode, comedian Rufus Hound wrongly answered “Kings of Leon-ardo DiCaprio” to an Answer Smash instead of the correct answer “Kings of Leon-ardo Da Vinci”. In a faux (or perhaps not faux) rage, he stood up, flipped his chair over and ran around the studio screaming, having blown his chance of a perfect streak. After he won again on the Friday episode, his fellow contestants Jayde Adams, Scott Mills and Josie D’Arby all flipped their chairs in tribute. Size Matters ( first played on Series 2, Episode 2 & last played on Series 4, Episode 58): The players are given a category and have to write down a correct answer relating to the category. The player who gives the correct response with the most letters in the answer wins a point, and they get a bonus point if the correct answer is the longest possible answer.
