This was the first season of Ellen's Game of Games. The show became popular across America and soon there became international versions of Game of Games. Because of its popularity, NBC soon renewed it three times up until the fourth season, where it was then sadly cancelled due to losing popularity and Host Ellen DeGeneres' toxic workplace allegations.
This season added a new element to Know or Go called "Sudden Drop". In Sudden Drop, instead of a contestant being immediately eliminated due to an incorrect answer, their opponent would have to correctly answer their failed question to win. If both contestants were to get the answer wrong, the game would simply go on like normal until a winner was determined.
In Season 3, host Ellen DeGeneres would invite celebrity guests. These guests would either co-host in Knockin' Boots or they would play with regular contestants in Stink Tank (Of course, the contestants would be the ones in the dunking position).
Due to season four being filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no longer celebrity guests nor an actual audience. So, the "audience" was instead canned. Season four also marked the start of Hotter Hands: A multiple choice answer game that replaced the original Hot Hands. In this season, Sudden Drop was only implemented when a contestant missed a question and the contestant to the right of them was still in the game. Otherwise (if they are the contestant on the right), they would be immediately dropped. This new system was meant to balance out the amount of correct and incorrect answers between the contestants to make the game more fair.
