Tick-Tack-Quiz

Tick-Tack-Quiz was an approximately 30-minute quiz broadcast with high ratings, which was broadcast in the ARD from 1958 to 1967. The host was Fritz Benscher. The quiz broadcast produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk first ran in the eveningly regional programs (1st program) of the individual broadcasting corporations and became the main program from October 3, 1964.

The original show ran from 1956 to 1959 in the US under the title "Tic Tac Dough" (with Jack Barry). Editprocesstext

Two candidates (X - the champion and O - the challenger) played for a jackpot. On the quadratic field, there were nine fields to which question categories were assigned. Alternately, one of the candidates searched for a category. If he could answer the question asked, his symbol (X or O) lit up on the playing field. The category was occupied and the amount was added to the jackpot depending on the difficulty of the question. The players had to choose their questions so that a series of three identical symbols (XXX or OOO) arose from the game Tic-Tac-Toe - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. However, the questions in the middle were more difficult to answer. The winner came one round, the loser got a cuckoo clock as consolation prize. Edit other source text

The host Fritz Benscher did not take the game too seriously. He was more interested in the entertainment he promoted with word-wits and casual talks. Single-level Edit source text
