Search Party

Search Party makes its bow with several back-to-back episodes featuring cast members from the syndicated series Baywatch Hawai'i. Two three-person teams, the Red and the Blue, compete against each other for prizes, yes (they're on the modest side), but mostly just for the fun of it. Initially the competition was in three rounds: the Surf & Turf, each portion worth 500 points; the Scavenger Hunt, either the Silver Screen or Sight-Seeing variety, where teams are usually awarded 300 points for each completed item or task (with bonus points often added); and the Search Party Scramble, a wild final competition which is always extremely silly and usually extremely messy. It's usually worth 2000 to 3000 points. Alert viewers with basic math skills will note that the points awarded for the Scramble are always sufficient to win the game, but somebody keeps score all the way through anyway.On later installments of the show, the Surf & Turf round is more or less combined with the Scavenger Hunt.
