- Hello.
And welcome to my "Game of Games,"
where our motto is,
"Go big or get the heck out of here."
It's not catchy, but it's true.
If you're tuning in for the first time,
this show is exactly like "World of Dance,"
except instead of dancing, there's games,
and instead of J. Lo, there's me.
Instead of the world, there are about four of us.
I have to be honest,
this is nothing like "World of Dance."
I don't know why I said it.
But someone here is gonna have a chance
to win $100,000.
[cheers and applause]
By the way--
by the way, and I should say, by the way,
you don't have to be here to win;
you can play along with us at home
and while I set up the first game.
I've got my tool chest back here.
Is it a chest or a kit?
Whatever it is, I've got it standing by,
and I'm gonna build the first set.
Here's how you do it.
[cheers and applause]
Open your "Game of Games" app,
and you'll see a free scratcher ticket.
During tonight's show, a lucky penny
will appear on the screen.
Use your phone's camera to capture the penny.
Then you can scratch away and see what you've won.
There are thousands of prizes, so good luck!
