Vintage Original Mastermind 1972 " Game of the Year!" by Invicta

Product Information

Mastermind is a game for two players. One player becomes the codemaker by letting the other play think they are trying to guess four colors, when in reality there are only three colors used. The goal of the code maker is to give hints that make it difficult for their opponent to determine what color each letter represents while still being relatively easy for the codemaker to remember. Trouble (1965) I love it! It was an amazing opportunity that came my way and it's a privilege to be one of just a handful of presenters who've helmed the show in half a century. Jones, Sam (2 February 2010). "Mastermind's lowest scorer: 'It wasn't my night' ". The Guardian . Retrieved 2 February 2010. Mastermind (1972 to 1997), presented by Magnus Magnusson, aired on BBC1. It was originally broadcast late on a Sunday night and was not expected to receive a huge audience. In 1973 it was moved to a prime-time slot as an emergency replacement for a Leslie Phillips sitcom, Casanova '73, which had been moved to a later time following complaints about its risqué content. The quiz subsequently became one of the most-watched shows on British television. Magnusson's catchphrase "I've started, so I'll finish" was also the title of his history of the show. [4] The original series was filmed in academic or ecclesiastical buildings. The last programme of the original series was filmed at St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney. [5] The current record for the lowest score in the specialist subject round is jointly held by Simon Curtis, Steve Ferry, Nancy Lam and Amy Tapper, all of whom only scored one point when answering questions on the life and films of Jim Carrey, the Thirty Years' War, Rod Stewart and the films of Adam Sandler respectively.

Q&A with Mastermind host Clive MyrieThe show is celebrating its 50th anniversary, why do you think it remains popular with audiences across decades? Why do you think people love the programme so much? Discovery Channel's Mastermind (2001) was hosted by Clive Anderson. The commercials shortened the amount of time available for answering questions and lasted just one series. This was also the first to go "interactive". By using the red button viewers could play the general knowledge section throughout the series. These questions had been written specifically to afford both standard and multiple-choice format in presentation. There was a one-off competition between the four highest scoring viewers.

Retrieved 7 November 2014. Unlike a game of Mastermind, there’s no one correct answer to explain this decline. Oversaturation and endless variant versions couldn’t have helped (famously, Icarus was warned not to make a solid gold Mastermind) and that oversupply was probably spurred on by Invicta’s inability to recapture Mastermind’s success elsewhere. Titles like Omar Sharif Teaches You Bridge and Ouija (“Invicta says that playing the game is a way to develop the latent psychic powers that everyone possesses”) did not do the job. Invicta itself was wound down and its assets sold in 2013; the toy giant Hasbro now controls and licenses the intellectual property. Mastermind International – BBC One London – 29 August 1983".

If there are duplicate colors in the guess, they cannot all be awarded a key peg unless they correspond to the same number of duplicate colors in the hidden code. For example, if the hidden code is red-red-blue-blue and the player guesses red-red-red-blue, the codemaker will award two colored key pegs for the two correct reds, nothing for the third red as there is not a third red in the code, and a colored key peg for the blue. No indication is given of the fact that the code also includes a second blue. [10]
