From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to this trick-or-treat show!
Behind the door, just an innocent $1,000 waiting for the truth...
Go!
Amber solves YEAR-ROUND RESORT.
Uncover yourselves!
Amber Gregg: Graduate student studying psychology and counseling, also a summer lifeguard, from Shawnee, OK
Michael Battaglia: Drummer, sells music equipment, from Santa Monica, CA
Dave Springer: Teaches drama at a blue-ribbon high school, from Royal Oak, MI
Understand Toss-Ups well to establish some trust. Here's one for $2,000:
Go!
Amber solves PLEASE STAND BY.
What is this, 1992? The first round's puzzle is ready now!
Dave solves KILLS BUGS DEAD. No need to fear death, but he can earn a $3,000 bonus for identifying where it belongs.
He identifies it as Raid.
Short puzzles, but good money. A good prize too, as we introduce a Haunted Queen Mary cruise (labeled HALLOWEEN) worth $3,800.
We also introduce the familiar Jackpot space.
Amber solves THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY EYE DOCTOR. If only a little sooner...
Okay, a little hurdle, but we can try again. First, Charlie Boris O'Donnell introduces a Mead Instruments computer controlled telescope (labeled TELESCOPE) worth $4,995.
Next, look at the one-third $10,000 space.
Amber solves ANNUAL SALES CONVENTION.
Something to attract our contestants? How about an extra $3,000?
Go!
Dave solves HOUSE OF WAX.
An interesting race between them, with a $5,000 to add to the drama, but hopefully not the horror...
Perfection! Dave solves DUDLEY DO-RIGHT.
He did it right, but all he needs to do is maintain his lead a little longer...
DING DING! DING DING!
The candle is nearly gone, and Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $400 + $1,000 for $1,400 a piece.
Amber: R (x3) ($4,600)
Michael: S (x2) ($2,800)
Dave: L ($1,400)
Amber: C (DUD!)
Michael: P (DUD!)
Dave: E (x2) ($2,800)
Dave guesses PRO WRESTLERS. Would have fit if not for the P.
Amber: W ($6,000)
Michael: M ($4,200)
Michael solves ARM WRESTLERS.
BONUS ROUND:
He did it before, and he can do it better here. Claim one of...
"The cash" ($25,000)
Volkswagen Jetta
Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible (over $23,000)
Ford Expedition XLT 4x2 (over $34,000)
"The cash 2.0" ($100,000)
Try for a treat on this trick-free Wheel. He heads for the N in BONUS. This final puzzle faces him:
RSTLNE gives him...
Trick out the puzzle with CMPI:
He does not solve HOBGOBLIN...
...the audience is surprisingly quiet, as Pat has noticed...
...and Dave's tricked out of the Jetta. That's okay though, as he already has $26,200!

During the post-game, Pat wonders why the word "hobgoblin" even exists, thinking it's unnecessary like "forewarned". Get rid of those two words, and he'll be happy.
