Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Double Dare" was a children's game show that first aired on what television network?

Answer: Nickelodeon

The "Double Dare" game show first aired on Nickelodeon in 1986.

2. The winning team on "Double Dare" got to participate in what final game for big prizes?

Answer: Obstacle course

The usually messy obstacle course was the signature part of the show. The winning team had 60 seconds to complete up to 8 obstacles, winning a progressively bigger prize with each one completed. The tossup challenge opened the show with the winning team getting control of the first question.

The physical challenge was part of the question part of the show for teams that did not know the answer, or just wanted to play the game.

3. A team on "Double Dare" who was dared to answer a question, but did not know the answer, or chose not to answer, had what option in the game?

Answer: Double dare the other team

In "Double Dare", one team was asked a question. If they did not know the answer, or thought the other team didn't know, they could dare the other team to answer. The other team then needed to answer the question or double dare the original team. The original team could then answer the question or take the physical challenge. A score penalty was given for a wrong answer.

4. "Double Dare" was so successful that it created multiple spinoffs. Which of the following was not a "Double Dare" spinoff?

Answer: Double Dare Challenge

"Super Sloppy Double Dare" was a generally messier version of the original show. "Family Double Dare" added two extra team members per team and allowed parents and other family members to play the game. "Double Dare 2000" was the revival of the show in 2000. There was no "Double Dare Challenge".

5. The obstacle course was a highlight of the show. Which of the following obstacles never appeared on "Double Dare"?

Answer: Balance Beam

Down the Hatch was a large mouth that had to be climbed into and then the contestant slid down through usually very messy gak. The Kid Wash was a large obstacle designed as a car wash for kids to navigate through. The Sundae Slide was a very popular obstacle where the contestant had to climb up a slippery slope and then slide down into a pool of gak, which was typically shaped like an ice cream sundae. Surprisingly, there never was a balance beam.

6. "On your mark, get set ... GO!" was the tagline to start the show. Who coined that phrase as the first host of "Double Dare"?

Answer: Marc Summers

Marc Summers hosted "Double Dare" and "Super Sloppy Double Dare". He later hosted other shows including "Couch Potatoes" and "What Would You Do?" Jason Harris hosted "Double Dare 2000". J.D. Roth hosted a number of other children's game shows around the same time, including "Fun House" and "Endurance". Bob Barker was the legendary host of "The Price is Right", among other shows.

7. One of the obstacles on "Double Dare" involved a large foot that was covered in gak. What was this obstacle called?

Answer: Toejam

Toejam was the obstacle that involved a large foot with the flag typically hidden in the gak-filled gaps between the toes. Luckily for the contestants, the foot was odorless.

Answer: Orange

The flags were orange. Red and blue were the dominant colors of "Double Dare" and "Super Sloppy Double Dare" as they were used for the logo and team uniforms, but not the flags. Yellow became the dominant color and logo for "Family Double Dare", but the obstacle course flags were still orange.

9. The Tank was a favorite obstacle on "Double Dare" and got filled with a variety of substances over the years. Which substance was not used?

Answer: Jelly beans

The Tank was a large rectangular glass structure that was a classic obstacle from the first season. A contestant needed to climb the stairs on one side, jump into the tank and make their way to a flag on the other side. The tank was typically filled with packaging peanuts or balloons in the early years, but progressed to water, a "milk like substance", whipped cream and even jello in the messier years.

10. The version of "Family Double Dare" that aired on FOX had a unique twist to one obstacle. The seventh obstacle always rewarded what prize?

Answer: Cash

The seventh obstacle on the FOX version of "Family Double Dare" always rewarded cash. The unique twist was that the cash prize increased for each week the prize was not won. Alas, the FOX version of "Family Double Dare" only lasted 13 weeks in mid 1988.
