Player one would move to the rear of the studio and play a game where they had four celebrity faces (originally three celebrities and the fourth being the player themselves) with the eyes, nose, and mouth each cut out and posted randomly around the outside of the board. The object being to put them back together in 60 seconds and getting points for guessing the celebrity successfully.
