Rules for Double Dare, Super Sloppy Double Dare, Fox's Family Double Dare, and Nickelodeon's Family Double Dare:

At the beginning of every episode, host Marc Summers covered the basic rules - and they've stayed pretty much the same through each one of Double Dare's incarnations. As Marc would say, "They go a little something.....like this!":

"I'm going to ask you a question, if you don't know the answer or think the other team doesn't have a clue, you can Dare them to answer it for double the dollars. But be careful, because they can always Double Dare you back for four times the amount - then you either have to answer that question or take the Physical Challenge."

Rules for Double Dare 2000:

For the most part, they remain the same as above with the addition in the second round of the new "Triple Dare Challenge." When a team goes for a physical challenge in Round 2, they can opt for the "Triple Dare Challenge" that will triple the dollar value to $300 and add a valuable prize to that team's winnings if the "Triple Dare Challenge" is accepted and completed in time.
