Round One would begin after the rules.
Questions would be asked. If the team didn't know the answer, they could "Dare" the other team and the question value would
double. The other team could answer or "Double Dare" the oppisite team back. The first team would either have to answer or
take the physical challenge. In Round One, the physical challenges
would be worth $40. In the early years, physical challenges required skill, as time went on, it was more about props and mess.
Time alotments varied between physical challenges. If the team won the physical challenge they received the money, if they
didn't the other team got the money. This continued throughout Round One. Round One ended when a buzzer sounded. Marc would give the scores and a preview of Round Two. The Double Dare theme
music would play as the program went to commerical.
Round Two began, just as Round One, with
a toss-up. The winning team gained control of Round Two, which was pretty much the same as Round One, except the dollar values
were doubled. When a buzzer sounded, that mean't the game was over. The winning team would go on to the obstacle course. The
losing team would get a goodbye from Marc, and Harvey would annouce their consolation prizes. From 1988 until 1992 a commerical
would procede.
The Obstacle Course came next. The Messiest
Minute in Television. It would begin with an explaination of the obstacles by Marc. After each explaination, Harvey would
tell the prize that the team would win if the completed the obstacle. After the obstacles were explained, 60 Seconds were
put on the clock. With an "On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!" the obstacle course would begin. When the course was completed, or
time ran out, Marc would bring the contestants together was Harvey told them the prizes they received.
