Sweepstakes Period: For all purposes of this Sweepstakes, the Sponsor’s computer is the official clock, and all times refer to Pacific Time (“PT”).

Person, Place or Thing has one hundred eighty (180) episodes and Pictionary and 25 Words or Less each have one hundred sixty (160) episodes.

Entrants may check local TV listings for Show schedules in their local viewing area, which may be changed or pre-empted without notice in one or more broadcast areas (e.g. due to changes to the production schedule, special announcements, programs that may disrupt normal TV programming or local station programming pre-emptions). In these cases, at the election of the Shows, the Sweepstakes may be played outside the above-stated dates, individual Shows and their corresponding call-to-action for the Sweepstakes may be aired on dates different than originally scheduled, or, the Sponsor may not re-broadcast that particular Show.
How to Enter: There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes: i) watching the Shows and ii) by mail as further detailed below.

Entrants should use care and not drive or operate machinery while entering the Sweepstakes.
Prizes/Odds of Winning: A total of three (3) prizes will be awarded in the Sweepstakes. Each winner will receive a cash award for the amount of $10,000 awarded in the form of a check made out in the winner’s name. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize is $10,000. The ARV of all prizes is $30,000. Odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries received. Limit one (1) prize per person/household for the entire Sweepstakes. The prizes are not transferable. Depending upon the prize, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion choose to substitute a prize (or prize component) of equal or greater value due to unavailability or for any other reason. All expenses associated with the receipt or use of a prize not specifically mentioned as being included are excluded and is the sole responsibility of each winner(s). Prizes will only be mailed/shipped/electronically delivered to persons residing in the U.S. and D.C. All federal, state, or other tax liabilities (including but not limited to income taxes) arising from the Sweepstakes or award of a prize will be the sole responsibility of each winner. If prize value is $600 or more, winner(s) will be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC from the Sponsor(s) or Sponsor’s designee for the total ARV of the prize won (as stated herein) in the calendar year won. Any depiction of the prize(s) in promotional materials or otherwise is for illustrative purposes only. Final eligibility for the award of any prize is subject to eligibility verification as set forth in these Official Rules. The Sweepstakes Administrator is not the supplier or guarantor of any prize.
Drawing: Potential winners will be randomly selected from among all eligible Entries received in a drawing to be held on or about two (2) weeks after the end date by the Sweepstakes Administrator, an independent compliance organization (“Drawing Date”).
Notification/Verification: Each potential winner will be notified via a text message, email, or phone call (or any combination thereof) at the telephone/mobile number/email address provided by the Sweepstakes Administrator within approximately three (3) business days from the Drawing Date. The Sweepstakes Administrator will only make two (2) notification attempts to reach a potential winner. If a potential winner(s) is from a state that deems him/her to be a Minor, his/her parent/legal guardian will be notified instead. If potential winner(s) cannot be reached after two (2) notification attempts; if he/she is found to be ineligible; if he/she does not comply with these Official Rules; or if his/her prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, such potential winner(s) will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner(s) may be selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Potential winner(s) will be required to electronically sign and return an original, unmodified Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, (where legal) a Publicity Release (collectively “Affidavit/Release”), an IRS W-9 Form, a copy of his/her legible government-issued photo identification, and any other documentation that Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator requires within five (5) days after receipt by potential winner(s) or such potential winner(s) may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner(s) for such prize may be selected. Documents received electronically have the same force and effect as the originals. If potential winner(s) is a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a Minor, his/her parent or legal guardian will be required to sign the Affidavit/Release on his/her behalf. By returning the completed Affidavit/Release, winner(s) attests to the provisions stated therein including the accuracy of the information contained therein and compliance with these Official Rules.
Privacy Policy: Any personal information supplied by entrants to the Sponsor or its affiliates will be subject to the Distributor’s Privacy Policy (https://foxfirstrun.com/privacy). Thus, except where prohibited by law and Distributor’s Privacy Policy: (1) entry and/or a winner’s acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for the Sweepstakes Entities to use the such person’s name, address (city and state), photo(s), likeness, biographical information, statement and voice for advertising/publicity purposes worldwide and in all forms of media (including posting on the Show’s Microsite, website, and social media channels) in perpetuity, without further notice to or compensation in connection with the Sweepstakes or the prize awarded; and (2) the Sponsor has the right to modify, edit, adapt, electronically alter, use, assign and/or dispose of such Entries however it sees fit and for any purpose without any notice or compensation to an Entrant or any third parties.

The Sweepstakes Administrator does not and will not sell the personally identifiable information of any entrant or winner. Furthermore, the Sweepstakes Administrator will not share or disclose any personally identifiable information to any third-party company or business unrelated to the Sweepstakes. Additionally, if an entrant chooses to opt-in to receive communications from a participating Sweepstakes Entity, his/her Entry Information will be subject to that Sweepstakes Entity’s privacy policy and terms of service (if applicable), and such entrant agrees to receive additional email communication from that particular Sweepstakes Entity. Opting in to receive communications does not improve one’s chance of winning. The privacy policy for any Sweepstakes Entity participating in an opt in will be accessible from the Sweepstakes entry form(s).
General Conditions: The Sweepstakes is governed by all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and by these Official Rules. By entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant agrees and acknowledges to be bound by these Official Rules, as well as the decisions of the Sponsor/Sweepstakes Administrator which are final and binding in all respects; to waive any rights to claim ambiguity with these Official Rules; to indemnify and hold harmless the Sweepstakes Entities from any and all liability resulting or arising from the Sweepstakes or the use of any submitted Entry; and to release all rights to bring any claim, action, or proceeding against the Sweepstakes Entities.

GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to (i) the Sweepstakes, (ii) the awarding or redemption of a prize, and/or (iii) the determination of the scope or applicability of these Official Rules or their enforcement or interpretation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the U.S. State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s laws. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, its enforcement, arbitrability or interpretation shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles County, California, U.S. before a single arbitrator, in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Sponsor and the entrant(s) bringing forth the controversy or claim, which to the extent permissible must be brought individually and not as part of a class/group (collectively the “Parties”) or, if the Parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS/Endispute. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. The Parties will share equally in payment of the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration expenses and any other costs unique to the arbitration hearing (recognizing that each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert and attorneys’ fees, and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court). Each entrant agrees that his/her claim will be resolved individually, exclusively by arbitration, without resort to any form of class action. Each entrant further agrees that any claim/judgment/award in such arbitration shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with participating in the Sweepstakes but in no event attorneys' fees; and, under no circumstances, will an entrant be entitled to awards. Each entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or increased. Should any term of this section be deemed void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, unenforceable or contrary to law, such term shall, but only to the extent necessary to bring this section within the requirements of law, be deemed to be severed from the other terms of these Official Rules, and the remainder of these Official Rules shall be given effect as if it had not included the severed term herein. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
