In the treasure hunt, the winner of the quiz picked one of 30 treasure chests, each containing either a series of prize packages, a [[{{Zonk}} booby prize]] such as a head of cabbage or a pound of onions, or a cash prize of up to $25,000. After the chest was selected, the contestant chose an envelope from a wheel-shaped board, which contained cash amounts beginning at $100; s/he was then given a choice: take the sure thing, or the contents of the treasure chest. Regardless of outcome, the player faced another challenger.

The more famous version was syndicated, produced by Creator/ChuckBarris from 1973-77 (weekly) and 1981-82 (daily). A contestant from the StudioAudience, always a woman, picked one of 30 (66 in the 1980s run) brightly-decorated and clearly-numbered [[MysteryBox surprise packages]]. After host Geoff Edwards showed her the cash amount attached to that box, she was given the choice of taking the money or the box. As with the original series, the box could contain something good, a "Klunk" (now analogous to the {{Zonk}}s of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal''), or a grand prize check for $25,000 (1970s) or a ProgressiveJackpot that started at $20,000 and maxed out at $50,000 (1980s).

* {{Corpsing}}: Happened to Geoff on occasion given the nature of his hosting gig.
** Happened at least once to Johnny Jacobs as well; upon a Klunk being revealed consisting of stuffed hamsters in a cage, Jacobs can't tell what they are and chuckles "Are those hamsters?!" Then another cage is revealed, this one with a stuffed bird hanging ''upside down'' on its perch, at which point he loses it completely.
** Averted completely with Emile despite Geoff's best efforts to break him.

Added DiffLines:
* OnceAnEpisode: Unless the grand prize was found in the second game, every episode hosted by Geoff ended the same way. He asked if Emile had hidden the grand prize check; Emile said he had, gave Geoff a card with the winning box number, then opened that box so Geoff could show off the check.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Geoff referred to taking the money instead of a box that led to a Klunk "beating us out of a Klunk". Beating someone else out of something means that the person won it (in fact, Geoff told one of the big winners in the 80's version that she "beat Emile Autouri out of" the grand prize!)

Also, it seems, with all of the twists and turns of fakeout prizes in the sketches, that the only time that a sketch was declared over and the contestant had the real final prize, Klunk or not, was when Geoff turned the box towards the television camera, to show that the selected box was indeed completely emptied.
