According to The Fun House Factory, this is one of their earlier pilots. The scoring and the payouts were different than the series. And there is no Tiny.
Screen shots of this episode were used on the board game.
Also notice that JD stands to the other side of the contestants. And in the Grand Prix they don't have token pouches. If you watch some of the earlier episodes with the familiar format you'll notice that some of the prize tags still have the bar codes on the back of them.
The 1st taped episodes used mostly the same format. They reverted to 3 stunts but kept the 1 point per item for the runner up. The race was 25 points with no 50-point tokens. For the Fun House, they had the layout we saw on the premiere with a couple mods and extra cash tags in some places (even a $300 one), and you had to find the TWO prize tags to net the PP trip.
Seeing this, they had to tape extra pilots. I've waited to see this for years based on the board game pics. Wonder if they exist.
That Bobbing for Bagels game is exactly like the 1989 UK game Dunking For Doughnuts except for one thing in the UK version is they didn't wear goggles
Wow, those were some incredible prizes; really ups the excitement to see kids get such great stuff. Too bad they scaled back on the big prizes after this.

The hub should get fun house uk and USA, and possibly revive the fun house. That would be one sweet station if they ever did!

@Digifan23 You can forget about GSN. GSN is wack! TheHub sounds like a possibility.

I loved this show, I really did. And not only that, Brian Cummings also did Let's Make A Deal.

Is that the same SFX from "The Krypton Factor"?
