How to Play TV Trivia Games

You may only play TV Trivia Games online. Each evening, TV Trivia Games will be posted on the Site for most regularly-scheduled primetime broadcast network television shows and some regularly-scheduled primetime cable network television shows, including TV movies, sporting events, gameshows and other broadcast and cable programs available nationwide (hereinafter the "Primetime Shows"). RewardTV reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion the Primetime Shows, if any, for which TV Trivia Games will be made available. REWARDTV IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGES TO, OR DISCONTINUANCE OR INTERRUPTION OF, ANY NETWORK BROADCASTING SCHEDULE OR PRIMETIME SHOW BROADCAST, WHETHER REGIONAL OR NATIONWIDE.



TV Trivia Games will appear on the Site approximately three to four hours after the end of a Primetime Show's original broadcast in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (EST) and will remain live and playable until midnight of the following day (hereinafter the "Play Period"). For example, if an episode of Friends ends at 8:30:00 PM EST on Thursday, you will have until 11:59:59 PM EST on Friday to play the TV Trivia Game for that episode.



You may play up to five (5) TV Trivia Games for any evening's Primetime Shows. The availability of any TV Trivia Game is subject to the Play Period of that TV Trivia Game.



To play, go to http://www.rewardtv.com and sign in using your email address and password. Click on the "Play" button. Under "Active Shows," click on a Primetime Show which you watched during the preceding 19-27 hours, depending on the time zone in which you reside. Select the Flash or HTML version of that TV Trivia Game. The Flash and HTML versions of any particular TV Trivia Game are identical in content. You can switch between the Flash and HTML versions of a TV Trivia Game at any time during its Play Period. You will then be asked a series of multiple-choice trivia and survey questions about that Primetime Show and the commercial advertising that aired during its broadcast. The number of questions in each TV Trivia Game may vary, depending on the length of the Primetime Show covered. The content of the questions and multiple-choice answers of a TV Trivia Game for any particular Primetime Show may vary from Member to Member. Use your mouse to click on the answer you wish to submit. For each correct answer you submit for a question about a Primetime Show, you will receive 100 TV Points. If you answer the first commercial advertising question correctly, you will receive 100 TV Points and advance to the Bonus Round. For each correct answer you submit for a question in the Bonus Round, you will receive 100 TV Points. TV Points will not be deducted for incorrect answers. In order to complete a TV Trivia Game, you must answer all questions in sequential order. All submitted answers are final. After you have finished playing, the amount of TV Points you earned will be displayed and automatically credited to your Account.



TV Points are only credited to a Member's Account for completed TV Trivia Games. In the event that you are disconnected from the Site or leave before finishing a TV Trivia Game, your RewardTV Game and any TV Points awarded will be saved; however, your TV Points will not be credited to your Account until you have finished the TV Trivia Game. You may complete the TV Trivia Game at any time during the Play Period for that TV Trivia Game. However, if you do not complete the TV Trivia Game within the applicable Play Period, you will not get credit for any TV Points awarded for that TV Trivia Game. If you experience an error playing the Flash version of a TV Trivia Game, you must switch to the HTML version of that TV Trivia Game to complete it. TV Points will not be credited for a TV Trivia Game left uncompleted due to errors experienced in the Flash version. If you attempt to begin a second TV Trivia Game before completing a first TV Trivia Game, you will be prompted to either "Continue" or "Quit" the first TV Trivia Game before beginning the second. If you click on the "Quit" button, the first TV Trivia Game will be closed and you will not get credit for any TV Points awarded for that first TV Trivia Game. TV Trivia Games that you quit before completing will count against the 5 game limit.



A TV Trivia Game can only be completed once, using either the Flash or HTML version of that TV Trivia Game or a combination of the two. Any attempt by a person to play a TV Trivia Game more than once or to enter more than once in one day using multiple email addresses may result in disqualification at the discretion of RewardTV, and any TV Points earned in such attempts will be forfeited.



In the event that an error in the Flash version of any TV Trivia Game results in the incorrect awarding of TV Points to a Member's Account, RewardTV reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion the final number of TV Points to be awarded to that Member for that TV Trivia Game.



TV Trivia Game answers will be deemed made by the authorized Account holder of the email address submitted at time of sign-in. In the event of a dispute, a Member must provide RewardTV with satisfactory proof that he/she is the authorized Account holder of the email address associated with the TV Trivia Game answers in question.



RewardTV reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion the correctness of all TV Trivia Game questions and answers. All such challenges will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you believe RewardTV has posted an incorrect question or answer or incorrectly credited your Account, please contact us immediately by our Member Services page, or by postal mail to RewardTV, P.O. Box 358, New York, NY, 10010.
