Ultra Password

Ultra Password is an American game show and a remake of the original Password game show. It is the first Password game shown on ABN. Its predecessors have been syndicated and shown on the ABC and CBS networks in the 60's and 70's and has been resyndicated for Game Show Network. Unlike its syndicated counterpart, Ultra Password is a live show hosted by J.B. Dallas. The format follows Million Dollar Password. The first half of the game is an elimination format where contestants and celebrities try and guess the password through one-word clues. The person who has the password cannot say it out loud or the word is forfeited. Unlike the original game where each word is 10 points, each correct password is $1,000. Subsequent correct passwords guessed increase up to $5,000. In the second half, the contestants and celebrities switch seats and vie to enter the "Million Dollar Password" round. The values this time for a matched password goes from $5,000 to $25,000. Both rounds each feature a "Blitz" round, a newer version on the original game's Lightning Round where the winning team guesses five passwords each ranging from $1,000 up to $10,000 for each correct password. The winning team with the lead goes into the Million Dollar Password round to play for $1,000,000.
