Gameplay
The contestants on the show were young children who came with their parents to play in a series of events. Two teams play on each show.
Events
Some of the events were:
Games were played in a 45 second time limit (with the exception that the first game, the only one where the children competed directly, sometimes lasted for 30 seconds), and each item in each game was worth one point (occasionally two), with each kid's last game being played for two points an item.
The toy store
At the end of the game, each child received a certificate showing his or her total score, and selected a prize from a "toy store" in front of a video wall. Participating adults also received prizes.
The games were played for fun, not competitively.
