How the Wheels of Agriculture is Played
Questions are determined by the spin of the “Tractor Drive Wheel“ and the value of each question is determined by the spin of the “Front Steering Wheel”.
After the question is read the first player to hit their red button “locks out” the other player’s buttons. If the correct answer is given, a bell rings the team receives the points.
If the answer is wrong, a buzzer sounds and anyone in the audience has a chance to answer.
When someone in the audience gets the correct answer, they receive a prize. The points get added to the Bonus Bale.
There are 3 rounds of trivia play during the game. Each round is timed by a countdown timer and lasts 5-6 minutes from the time that the wheel is spun at the beginning of each round. When the time is up, the team with the highest score, Is the winner and moves into the semifinal round.
The semifinalists play the game of “Ultimate Chicken”. At this stage it is all up to luck!
The winner goes in the “ CASH CAB” and grabs “ Ag-Bucks” out of the air. A prize is awarded based on how many Ag-Bucks have been collected.
