*** Each color was represented by a 25-person team from a particular college, each wearing numbered bibs and hats corresponding to their color.
*** In numerical order, team members went up to the podium to answer questions. A correct answer meant you kept your hat and position while the other three teams switched players, and had to give up their hats. An incorrect answer meant you gave up your own hat and podium.
*** Play was like a normal episode of the show, except there were two Attack Chances (at 10 boxes and 5 boxes to go).
*** If, at any point during the show, a team ran out of people still wearing hats, they were eliminated.
*** The team that captured the most boxes AND still had players with hats on won the game.

** The second episode of 2023 was a 2.5-hour special featuring four teams of four college students each (some of whom had been on the show before). What they weren't told prior to the show, however, was the expanded format they were using:
*** Instead of the normal 25 panels, the players played on a 6x6 board of 36 panels. Rather than awarding control of the center box, the center four boxes were already lit up, one of each color. An Attack Chance was still played at the regular interval, with 5 panels left on the board.
*** Every 8 panels captured, the person buzzing in for each team changed.
*** When the 36 boxes were all filled, panels were added around the perimeter of the board to make an 8x8 board of 64, and the game continued with some new rules.
*** During "Attack 64," there was no penalty for incorrect answers.
*** All the boxes had a category contained within them that had something to do with local hometown products specific to each prefecture. A box was chosen before the question was asked; whichever team answered the question correctly captured the box, even if they couldn't normally call for it during a regular game.
*** Instead of an Attack Chance at 5 panels to go, there was an "Attack Change"; the winning team would call for an already-lit box as usual. Rather than needing to answer another question, they captured the box straight away.
*** When all the boxes were filled, the board expanded once again to a 10x10 Attack 100.
*** During "Attack 100," the wrong answer penalty was back in play; however, each question required two answers and awarded two panels until the Attack Chance.
*** Two Attack Chances were played: one at 10 boxes to go and another at 5 boxes to go.
