Every episode of "Figure It Out", based on the Classic Nickelodeon USA game show of the same name, features a panel of Nickelodeon Stars and celebrities trying to guess the unique feat or accomplishment of two kid contestants each, in three rounds of game play, by asking 'yes' or 'no' questions and being bombarded by messy visual and tactile clues. For every round the panel fails to figure it out, the contestant wins a prize. If, after three rounds, the panel can't figure out the kid's unique feat, the contestant takes home the grand prize. Each game culminates in the reveal of the talent with an in-studio demo, and each episode is filled with tons of Nickelodeon's world famous slime!
