What is The Perfect Line?
A blend of visual strategy with surprising trivia, THE PERFECT LINE challenges individual players to place items in the correct order. With every new line comes a fresh category and a brand-new metric to master. Contestants who land their item in just the right spot split the cash for that round, with a chance to win over $15,000 across the game. Each episode features four players competing through two rounds and four total lines. The two top earners advance to the Fast Line, where they race the clock to rack up more money in solo play. The winner then takes on The Finish Line, a high-pressure finale that tasks them with matching five items to five values to complete the ultimate Perfect Line and take home their full bank.
