| - Blockbsuters is a British television game show based upon the American game show of the same name in which contestants answer trivia questions to complete a path across or down a game board of hexagons.
- Blockbusters was a game of skill and strategy, where the game board was a honeycomb filled with letters, each of them the beginning letter of an answer to a question. This show originally pitted a solo player against a family pair to see if two heads really are better than one.
- Game Show created by Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions which aired on NBC from 1980-82 with Bill Cullen as host. It was basically a game-show version of the board game Hex, featuring a 5-by-4 board of hexagons, each containing a letter that was also the first letter in an answer to a question (e.g., "What 'K' did Miss Piggy have a crush on?"; the answer was Kermit). The original version was also noted for the fact that it pitted one player against a "family pair" (i.e., two closely related people playing together); the family pair had to make a connection of white hexagons going across, while the solo player worked from top to bottom with red hexagons. The game was played best-of-three, and the winner went on to the Gold Run (or Gold Rush) Bonus Round.

The game was played best-of-three, and the winner went on to the Gold Run (or Gold Rush) Bonus Round. A revival aired in 1987 with Bill Rafferty as host, and the family pair replaced by another solo player. On May 4, 1987 it was replaced by Classic Concentration. The series has been more of a Long Runner in the United Kingdom, running in various forms from 1983 to 2001 and a revival series starting in May 2012.
