What is Master Minds?
Brook Burn hosts Master Minds, airing only on Game Show Network.
In MASTER MINDS, three contestants square off against three trivia Master Minds in multiple rounds of intense trivia competition.

How to play Master Minds
Master Minds pits three contestants against three trivia experts (Master Minds) in a multi-round trivia battle for cash, culminating in an "Ultimate Trivia Challenge" where the top contestant faces the top expert for up to $10,000. Rounds feature increasing point values and pressure, with elimination of the lowest scorers, until only one challenger and one expert remain for the final showdown, where winning earns the contestant money and a chance to return and become a Master Mind themselves.
