The premise, in the publisher's words

Based on the well known game show of the same name. The basic idea behind the game is that you are given a choice of categories, each with an answer to a question behind the square. Your job is to figure out the question that corresponds to the given answer (for example, the answer is Star Wars. The question would be: George Lucas' Trilogy?, or something like that.)
