What is Hollywood Squares about?
Hollywood Squares is a game show where two contestants compete in a game of tic-tac-toe to win cash and prizes. A celebrity will give an answer, and the contestant has to agree or disagree with them, and if they are right, they get that square. The first player to get a tic-tac-toe or five squares wins. Every episode, there is a secret square. If they are picked and the question is answered correctly, the contestant wins a trip.
