Main Game

Combination Lock is an unsold pilot, created by fellow game show fan, John Ricci Jr. The object is to "Unlock Your Fortune."

Two contestants compete for the entire show. All of the questions are in the form of an analogy (ie, Chuck Woolery is to Greed, as Regis Philbin is to...). Each question has three choices.  In round 1, a correct answer is worth £20 and control of the board. The player may choose to pick a number or pass to their opponent.  Eight numbers are on the board. 3 of the numbers are a part of the "Combination", picking one wins 2£5, picking the second wins £50, and the third wins £75.  Two also have money bags behind them (too add to their score), two are worthless, and one is the "Burgler", which is bad and steals all your money. Once all three numbers of the combination are found, the six possibilities are put on the board. Questions are again asked in the same way, and a correct answer gets a pick of the board. One combination opens the safe and wins the money in their bank.

Round 2 is played the same. But, more money is put in the money bags and now there are two "Burglers" on the board, adding a little gamble to it.

 

Race to the Finish

Round 3 is the "Race to the Finish." The scores are added to together and £25 is added to it. The first to six correct "digits" wins. The player in the lead wins two free digits, and if the player has won the first two rounds, they get a third as well. Each correct answer wins a digit. The player who get to six first, wins the game, the money and goes to the "Super Lock" round. 

 

Super Lock

In the Super Lock round, you can "Unlock Your Fortune." The player picks one of three subjects. The player has 40 seconds to establish a time, starting at 30 seconds, and increasing by 10 seconds for each correct answer, and decreases by 10 for each incorrect answer. All of the questions are True/False. The player then uses the time they accumulated to figure out the combination of the safe. The player picks three numbers at a time. If they pick a correct number, they must lead off with that number on their next selection. Once they find all three, they must figure out the correct combination. If they get the correct combination, they win £1000.
