Games

Entry Round

The first games to be played. Players are free to enter any game via an open sign up. Winners progress to a Semi-Final.

Winning Lines

A game in which all the answers are numbers.

Round 1

Players are assigned a number. Players answer 6 number-based questions. First correct answer for each goes through to Round 2. All incorrect answers are immediately eliminated. 6 players go through to the next round.

Round 2

Players use their numbers from Round 1 to answer questions. The only possible answers are the players' numbers. Players answering incorrectly are eliminated. Also, if a player correctly answers with another player's number, that player is eliminated. Last player left wins.

Semi-Final

The winnners of the Entry Rounds play each other in a 1 on 1 game. Winners progress to the final.

Final

The winners of the Semi-Finals play each other to determine the winner of the 2007 Marathon.

Blockbusters

The classic quiz where we tell you the first letter of each answer.

An empty Blockbusters grid

Round 1

Played on a grid of 20 interlocking hexagons, arranged in five columns of four. A random tile is chosen, and the players are asked a question, the answer of which begins with the letter found in the tile. Getting a question correct changes the tile to that player's color, and allows them to choose which tile is played for next. First player to create a path from left to right, or top to bottom, wins the round.

Round 2

Played the same way as Round 1, except the players swap colors. If the same player wins both rounds, they automatically win the game. If not, the game progresses to Round 3.

Round 3

Played the same way as the previous rounds, except played on a smaller four by four grid. Whoever wins this round wins the game.
