Что? Где? Когда?: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The game involves a team of experts consisting of six people. They have to answer the questions sent by the viewers. Each correct answer to a question gives a team one point, an incorrect answer gives a point to the audience team. When one of the teams scores six points, it wins. The questions are selected randomly by rotating the spinning top. The question where the arrow stops is selected for the game. If the question that appears has already been played, then the next question that has not yet been played is selected clockwise. The discussion lasts for one minute. At the end of the discussion, the team captain should name an expert who will give an answer. Usually the word is given to the author of the version.
