Games

Bigyan ng Jacket 'Yan!

Five contestants that best dance to the song "Sumayaw, Gumalaw, Tumalon" are selected to play in Bigyan ng Jacket 'Yan. Each contestant selects one colored jacket and they compete with each other answering questions selected from their jacket's pockets. The questions usually ask the contestant to translate English and Filipino words to the other language. The winning contestant that survives thorugh the rounds moves on the jackpot round.

Jacket Jackpot

In Jacket Jackpot, the contestant gets to answer questions that are worth different values. The greater the question's monetary value, the harder the question will be. The jackpot prize can be PHP20,000 as the minimum (which increases weekly as the jackpot hasn't been claimed) to PHP1,000,000 as the maximum amount.

Putukan Na!

Four teams consisting of four members each compete to win the top prize in a fun, action-filled balloon-popping game, a popular parlor game. Each team automatically receives P5,000 then gets to present their cheer to the audience. Each team tries to pop eight balloons in the fastest time, running back and forth, landing on the other member's lap to pop the balloon. The fastest team moves on to the jackpot round, where they can win the jackpot prize if the team succeeds to pop eight balloons in only 15 seconds. This game was a former segment in Wowowin's predecessors Willing Willie, Wil Time Bigtime and Wowowillie and was once titled as Family Apir and is now known as Putukan Na!.

Willie of Fortune

Six contestants selected earlier through themed auditions compete in pairs in rounds of Willie of Fortune. This segment allows the contestants to share their life stories and their talent to the world. Each contestant is given a cash prize for showcasing their talent. The in-house keyboardist plays a portion of a song, and the first person to name the song correctly wins one point. If the player can correctly sing the exact lyrics from that portion of the song, they will receive the second point. Two points are required to win the round and get to round two. In this round, the three remaining players compete in a knock out question. One song will be played, and whoever can correctly answer the song's title first wins PHP10,000 and advances to the jackpot round.

Pera O Kahon

In this game (previously named "Wil to Win" & "Cash Bukas"), the advancing contestant has to find the Mega Jackpot to win the jackpot prizes in Pera O Kahon. There are boxes marked from different Flowers to choose from. The contestant making the decision to go with "Cash" (open the box and accept the result), or "Kahon" (the increasing money offer). The Mega Jackpot consists of PHP 1,000,000.00 and a house and lot from Bria Homes.

Patalbugan

Players will throw the balls into the bowls in the correct order. Each bowl the player shoot gets PHP10,000. If he or she shoot all the bowls, the player wins the prize of PHP150,000 and a Brand New Car.

Former

Hep, Hep, Hooray

Ten random audience members that dance cheerfully to the song of the day are selected to join Hep, Hep, Hooray. The objective of the game is to repeat the words "Hep Hep" and "Hooray". The host moves the microphone back and forth among the contestants for them to respond either "Hep Hep" while clapping their hands together below their waist or "Hooray" while raising their hands in the air, depending on the order. If a contestant makes a mistake, they are out of the game and receives a consolation prize. This is a last person standing game, with the person who lasts the longest winning. Hep, Hep, Hooray was pioneered by Revillame on his former program Wowowee and was revived as Rock n' Rollin, named after his hit novelty song of the same name, on Wowowillie.
