Atomes Crochus (Hooked Atoms) is revival of the 70's comedy game show L'union fait la farce filled with stars, money, matching and filling in the blanks.
Gameplay[]
Two contestants compete to match a panel of six celebrities and win lots of money.
Main Game[]
Rounds 1 & 2[]
One player was given a choice of two statements each with a blank at the end or near the end. When the choice was made, the host read the fill-in-the-blank statement and the celebrities wrote their answers down on cards; they notified the fact that they were done by sticking their answers in the slot and lighting up their names. Once the panel was done, the contestant in control gave his/her own answer after which the celebrities revealed their answers one at a time from left to right. Each match in round one is worth $25 for a possible total of $150, and each match in round two is worth double or $50 for a possible total of $300. After one player took his/her turn, the other player takes his/her turn with the unselected question.
Round 3 (Match-Up!)[]
In the final round, each contestant starting with the trailing player had 45 seconds to match one celebrity of their choosing as many times as they can. A fill-in-the-blank phrase (ala The Super Match) with two choices popped up on his/her secret screen, the contestant chose the answer he/she thought the star he/she chose will say. Each match is again worth $50. The player with the most money at the end of this round won the game, keeps the cash and goes on to play Super Match.
Super Match[]
The Super Match is played in two halves. The first half is the Audience Match and the second is the Head to Head Match.
Audience Match[]
In the Audience Match members of the studio audience was polled and they gave their best answer to a fill-in-the-blank phrase. Their top three answers were taken a hidden on a game board and were given amounts based on popularity. The top answer was worth $2000, the second most popular was worth $1500 and the third $1000. The winning contestant choose three of the six celebrities to assist by giving answers of their own. Then the contestant either selected one of the answers he/she likes best or give one of his/her own. Once the answer was given/selected, the answer on the board are revealed one at a time from low to high. If the answer revealed matches the player's, the money attached to that answer will be what the contestant will be playing for. In the event that the contestant does not match any of the audience's answers, he/she can still play for $500.
Head to Head Match[]
To start the Head to Head round, the winning contestant spun a wheel consisting of all the star's names. Whoever the wheel landed on will be the contestant's celebrity partner. But if the wheel landed on a red dot, the amount earned from the audience match is doubled making the top cash prize $4000. When the spinning of the wheel was done, the host read another fill-in-the-blank phrase and the selected panelist wrote down his/her answer. After that the winning player gave his/her answer and if the answers match, that player wins the grand cash prize.
Board Game[]
A board game based on the show was released by Gladius in 2011.
