The children were asked a series of multiple-choice questions in the style of ''Newlywed'' to see how much they knew their parents. The game was played in three rounds, with the first two rounds having two multiple-choice questions and the last round having a single free-response question.

Round 1

In round one, the kids were asked two questions to see how much they knew their mothers. They predicted how their mothers would answer the same questions. A correct match on the first question was worth 20 points, while a correct match on the second question was worth 40 points.

Round 2

In round two, the kids were asked two more questions except they predicted how their fathers would answer the questions. A correct match on the first question was worth 60 points, while a correct match on the second question was worth 80 points.

Each match was worth 100 points (for a possible total of 300 points & a possible overall grand total of 500 points).
