Another version, which was described as "Fish Bowl", includes a standard 3 rounds. Players are split into two teams. All players contribute 3–5 words containing common phrases, celebrities, or nouns. All word cards are added to a vessel resembling a fish bowl (hence the name). During a turn, one player from Team A takes one word card out of the bowl and engages in the rules of the round until a team member guesses the word. The player then draws another word, and continues until 30 seconds to 1 minute has elapsed. One Team B player follows Team A. A round continues until all words have been guessed. All words are returned to the fish bowl, and the next round beings. Round One consists of Catch Phrase (game), where players can use unlimited words to give clues (except words that rhyme). Round 2 follows the rules of Charades. Round 3 follows the words of password, where the clue giver can only give a one-word clue. Round 4, the sheet round, was created by Dr. Joan Meiners in a living room in Logan, Utah, during a standard game of fish bowl. During the sheet round, players repeat the rules of charades with a bed sheet covering their body.

Once in the RAF he went through flying training. He was the penultimate man going through a medical line receiving inoculations for typhoid with the other flight candidates in his class (they were going to Canada to receive new aircraft) when the vaccine ran out. They refilled the bottle to inoculate him and the other man as well. By mistake they loaded a pure culture of typhoid. The other man died immediately, and Bentine was in a coma for six weeks. When he regained consciousness his eyesight was ruined, leaving him myopic for the rest of his life.
