The Diamond Head Game is an American game show that aired from January 6 to July 4, 1975 in five-day-a-week syndication. Borrowing its name from a long dormant volcano on the island of Oahu, the series was hosted by Bob Eubanks and assistant Jane Nelson, and is the only game show that was taped entirely on location in Hawaii. Alan Thicke wrote the memorable theme song. The Diamond Head Game had two formats. The first format was used for the first 13 weeks. The audience was divided into four sections, each representing "one of the islands of Hawaii." Two contestants were selected from each... section at a time to compete in a head-to-head match. Eubanks read a general-knowledge question, and the first to buzz in had the chance to answer. A correct answer was worth one point, while an incorrect response or failing to provide a guess in time gave the point to the other contestant. The first contestant to earn two points won a prize and advanced to the next round. The process repeated until all four contestants were determined. In the second round, each of the contestants stood at the base of Diamond Head .
