    Runs from today to 07/10, have to attend Hull if you make the final

    It's a phone in but there are some physical locations you can enter from as well, all you do on-line is sign-up to get a clue about the questions they may ask from next week, the clues for this week are given on-air
    (A) You can enter by calling our radio station Viking FM at 01482 226222 or via the “Push The Button” unit available at physical locations around the region (details of entry platforms at section 2, below). The exact locations and times where the unit will be available will be announced on-air in advance.

    (B) When lines open, the listeners will be given an opportunity to phone in. One caller will be chosen by electronic random draw. The contestant who gets through will then be asked to play a game whereby he/she will be required to name 5 items on a given ‘theme’. The contestant will have to give 5 correct answers within 10 seconds. An answer is correct if the named item relates to the chosen theme e.g. if the theme is ‘Movies starring Will Smith’, one of the correct answers would be ‘I Am Legend’.

    (C) A new theme will be given for every contestant, whether or not the previous contestant gave correct answers.

    (D) Clues relating to themes for the week commencing Monday 19TH September will be given live on air on Viking FM during that week.

    (E) Clues relating to themes in subsequent weeks will be made available to contestants who register online at https://www.vikingfm.co.uk/pressure (both for entry by phone and by Push The Button). Online Registration will be possible from 8am on Monday 19th September.

    (F) If the contestant gives 5 correct answers within the 10 second time limit (whether he enters via phone or Push the Button unit), he/ she will go through to take part in the grand final held at Trenton Peugeot, 45-52 Witham, Hull HU9 1BS on Saturday 15 October 2016 (the “Final”).

    (G) Contestants who have qualified for the Final (the “Finalists”) must be able to attend the Final in order to have a chance of winning the prize. In order to have a chance of winning the prize, Finalists must register with our team in person by 1pm on the day of the Final. The Finalists will be responsible for organising transport to and from the Final and it will be at their own cost. We reserve the right (but are under no obligation) to disqualify Finalists who arrive at the Final later than 1pm.

    (H) The competitive element of the Final will begin at 2pm, with finalists being whittled down to approximately 5 remaining contestants via a series of true or false questions.

    (I) Once there are approximately 5 contestants remaining, each contestant will take turns to name 5 items on a given ‘theme’. After each round, the contestants who do not give 5 correct answers within the 10 second time limit will be eliminated until only 1 contestant remains and is declared the winner. If, in any round no contestant gives at least 5 correct answers, the round will be repeated with a new question until a winner is revealed.

    Lines open every day from Monday to Friday between the On-air Start Date and On-air End Date at: 6:20am; 7:20am; 8:20am; 9:20am; 11:20am; 12:20pm; 1:20pm; 3:20pm; 4:20pm; 5:20pm and 6:20pm.
    (B) via the “Push The Button” unit. The unit will be available at a number of physical locations around the region between the Push the Button Start Date and Push the Button End Date.

    You will need to join a queue (if there is one) in order to get a chance to play. Once it’s your turn and you’re at the unit, you will be presented with a button which you will then need to press. You will be then informed (via the signage displayed on the screen) whether you have been successful and entered to play the game. If so, you will be then asked to name 5 items on a given theme. You will have to give at least 5 correct answers within 10 seconds.

    If in doubt, Viking FM’s team will also be able to assist and explain how entering through the “Push The Button” unit works. The details of locations where the unit will be next available will be announced on-air and online at: https://www.vikingfm.co.uk/pressure.

    Finalists that have entered through the “Push the Button” unit have the same chance of winning the Prize as finalists that have entered via a phone call
