Subsequent questions would be posed to the lowest team first; if they could not answer it, the next higher ranking team would have a shot. Correct answers enabled a team to rise in rank, and cause the next higher rank team to fall in rank. The team that finished in the number 1 position would win the game.

The location reports could be events in themselves, with some from places like the Arctic, and were central to the show's success.
