Wipeout was an American game show, airing from September 12, 1988 to June 9, 1989, with Peter Tomarken as host.
Three contestants are presented with a category and a board of sixteen screens consisting of eleven correct answers and five incorrect answers (dubbed "Wipeouts"). The contestant farthest to the left chose an answer and, if it was correct, earned money and kept control of the game. However, if the contestant selected a Wipeout, the contestant lost the money accumulated to that point and control passed to the next player in line.
