The Official Blockbuster Brawl 2025 Rule Book
(SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Any questions on the rules that were not addressed here, you can message Kaleb Koho directly. Thank you.
Standard Matches
A standard match in Blockbuster Brawl is three rounds. This consists of a whiteboard round, a wheel round, and a pick your poison round.
Title match rules are still to be determined
Throughout the duration of a standard match, competitors get three repeats to be used for more time to think.
Throughout the duration of the match, a competitor is given one challenge. They can challenge anything under the sun. If they win the challenge, they get it back. If they lose the challenge, it is gone for the match.
Competitors must keep their hands on screen throughout the duration of the match. Failure to do so will get you a reminder from the hosts. Repeated occurrences during a match could lead to harsher consequences.
Round One
The whiteboard round.
Competitors receive eight questions from eight different Blockbuster Brawl categories.
Competitors have fifteen seconds to write their answer on their board after hearing the question, afterwards they will hear pens down.
Answer all eight questions correct, a competitor will receive a bonus question asked only to them or anyone else that went perfect.
In a teams match, competitors will work individually to answer questions. No conferring.
Round 2
The Wheel Round
Competitors are asked five questions from whatever category they land on with the wheel.
The wheel consists of ten slices. Four general Blockbuster Brawl categories, two strengths (one from each player/team), and spinners and opponents choice.
The player/team in the lead out of round one has the option to spin first or differ.
Your opponent can steal any question you get wrong.
Round 2 Strengths
When a match is set up, the first thing you will be asked to do is send your strength and general category.
Strength Category: As long as the films have a tangible link between Brawl films and has at least 6 films, you can use that for your strength category. You can mix and match between categories or limit within a category, so long as it complies with the aforementioned rule.
General Category: Your general category is one of our 20 pre built Blockbuster Brawl Categories
Round 3
The “Pick your Poison” round.
In a normal match, before the match is set up, players will go back and forth drafting categories they wish to appear in round 3. They each draft four from the 20 pre built Blockbuster Brawl Categories.
The player who is higher ranked decides if they want to draft first or second .
The player in the lead drafts the first category, they then go back and forth.
You are drafting categories to be taken at a one, two, three, and four point level.
The order you draft does not need to match the order you answer your questions.
In a teams match, teams confer on every question.
Sudden Death
In the event of a tie at the end of the match, sudden death is played.
Players answer questions on their white board with no categories.
They continue answering until one player takes the lead.
Repeats are carried over into sudden death.
Lifelines
You have three (3) lifelines to use ONCE within a match.
1. Double Up
This lifeline allows you to answer the question for double the points.
It is not allowed to be used on your 3 or 4 point question in round 3.
You must declare your intention to use this lifeline after the question is asked but before you give your answer.
You must chose this lifeline once .
In a teams match, only one player on a team can use this lifeline in round 1.
2. The Barr Rule (Double Up)
In honor of Andrew Barr, this lifeline allows you to answer a question twice. If you give an incorrect answer, you are allowed to give a second answer before being ruled incorrect.
You must declare your intention to use this lifeline after the question is asked but before you give your answer.
You cannot use this lifeline on your 4 point question in Round 3.
3. 50/50
This lifeline you to eliminate the multiple choice options down to 2. This can be done once in round 2.
You must declare your intention to use this lifeline after the multiple choices are read but before you give your answer.
Other Notes
Challenges
Players are given one challenge throughout the match.
If they win their challenge, they keep it. If they lose their challenge, they lose it for the rest of the match.
Anything can be challenged.
Once a challenge is thrown, the opposing player/team has the right to make a counter argument.
Challenges are decided by the hosts rulings and past precedents. Please note, Past precedents are not always law.
Challenges are ended when the hosts and showrunners come to an agreement.
I will not go into every precedent we have set but one I do think is important is the multiple answers precedent.
If a question has multiple answers and a player gets a correct one, the opposing player can’t challenge to get the question thrown out.
That being said, if a player gets a question wrong that has multiple answers, they also can’t throw that question out.
Spelling
Spelling does not count, but you must answer phonetically correct.
Same goes for pronunciation.
