    Anyone remember this game show?? A bet hinges on it!

    Have a bet with some co-worker about a game show from the 70's, might have been the 60's.

    Ok here goes. it was a puzzle type game wherein segments of the puzzle were uncovered in small tiles at a time. Contestants had to answer question to uncover the tiles and take a guess at the puzzle.

    the puzzle was the sort that had you spelling out words by looking at pictures so for example you might have a picture of a "Ham" then there was a "+" sign then a picture of a mermaid where the 1st syllable of Mermaid was highlighted..(of course they didn't spell it out for you all the time)...so that word would be HAM+MER and so you sound it out and solve the rest of the puzzle. I mean it could have been something like "maxwell's silver hammer" but that would have been pretty long.

    anyone remember the name of this show??


    Thanks

    Ah yes, I remember this one well. It would have been 70s, likely mid-to-late 70s. My mom would sometimes have game shows on TV during the day back then and in the summer when I was off school I would watch them from time to time. I can't remember the name, but I know exactly the one you mean. hmmmm........

                      Definitely Concentration.
                      Was one of my favorites as a kid. They had home board game versions as well.
