Third round is Reverse Burst in which the Target Answers are revealed, but you have to guess the topic. Fourth round plays like the first two rounds. The fifth round will be either Sloppy Seconds or Challenge Clock. In Sloppy Seconds, the first team to play (the losing team) will have 30 seconds to guess as many Target Answers. Afterwards, the second team will have a chance to guess the remaining Target Answers in 30 seconds. Challenge Clock begins with the losing team in which they must guess 5 out of the 10 Target Answers in 60 seconds. The second team does the same for a different topic. The team who answers the most of the 5, or the fastest of all 5, wins that round. Round six is Shout Burst in which teams receive 10 multiple choice questions about a particular topic. The seventh and final round is Mondo Burst where players are given a topic with a vast amount of Topic Answers in which they must think of as many as they can in 60 seconds.
