A game where two contestants vie for the chance at guessing a certain object well hidden inside a larger white on black negative line drawing. True or false questions are first asked in rapid succession, and the contestant that guesses enough right answers gets a chance at "seeing" the object and pointing out where it's hidden with a pointer. As each succeeding effort fails, part of the puzzle is removed until it becomes more and more obvious where the camouflaged item is. —WesternOne

Dumb idea...

One has to wonder just how far they'd reach to dig up this poorly-conceived idea for a game show. They had these back-lit translucent boards with a complicated line drawing superimposed on it. Contestants were told to find a specific object concealed within the drawing and trace it with a wand. As kids we recalled seeing many errors which were overlooked by the judges, and we marveled at the lameness of the whole format. There was cheesy suspense-building organ music which furthered the lowbrow quality of the show. It was just a way to blow a half-hour between "Lucy" re-runs and 'Concentration' game. I comment here only because it needs to be mentioned and is indeed stuck in the memory of a few people as a trivia gem.
