The gumshoes and Greg would go into the alley where they would find a set of trash cans. Greg's Training Exercise - Added part way through Season 5, this game happened after the Chief's office sketch.Each time, the sketch would end with the Chief saying, "Greg, go away." From Season 3 onwards, it was used to promote contests for home viewers. In Seasons 1 and 2, the sketch was used to announce the grand prize. Usually, the Chief would ask to see Greg in her office, though sometimes Greg would go on his own. The Chief's Office Sketch - This happened after the Lightning Round.
If no one answered in time or everyone buzzed in with the wrong answer, Greg would reveal the correct answer and move to the next question. The first gumshoe to buzz in with the correct answer earned 5 crime bucks. Greg Lee would read three questions about the last location visited and provide three possible answers for each. Lightning Round - After two or three sketches, a flash of lightning would signal the lightning round.The detective with the lowest score would be out of the game. Contestants with a correct answer would get the amount they wagered added to their score while contestants who answered incorrectly would lose their crime bucks. Each player chooses how many points they want to risk: anywhere from 0 to 50 crime bucks. A correct answer earns them 10 crime bucks.Īt the end of the round, the gumshoes are presented with a map and told the next question will be about that area. Each player chooses their simultaneously and reveals their answer before the correct one is revealed. After the clues, the contestants are shown a map with three possible locations. Throughout the round, there are various comedic sketches with clues about where that episode's thief is hiding, including from various animated characters, Rockapella, characters portrayed by Greg Lee, or celebrities such as Rhea Perlman, Leslie Nielson, Senator (now President) Joe Biden, and on one memorable occasion, Greg Lee's own mother (which he hadn't been informed of beforehand) clues were also given by characters from other PBS shows such as ZOOM and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (conversely, the Chief appeared in an episode of The Puzzle Place). Afterward, the three contestants are brought into the ACME Detective Agency and are introduced by Greg Lee, ACME agent in charge of training new recruits.Įach contestants begins with 50 ACME crime bucks. More often than not, these crimes defied logic, with crooks managing to single-handedly steal objects that no person could realistically carry around the world among the more ludicrous thefts included entire roads, railroads, buildings, populations of people, cities, the Earth's core (which somehow didn't result in mass destruction), even abstract concepts such as the Portuguese language, while the more mundane, realistic thefts included a fighter jet, populations of animals, and the Hope Diamond. The show began with the Chief (played by Lynne Thigpen) describing the crime including what was stolen, where the crime took place, and which crook was involved.
