Two contestants memorized an eight-square board to defeat their opponents.  The board was momentarily revealed and after it was covered up, host Bill Cullen would read aloud a question to the contestant in control, who picked either the square with the correct answer, or said "Eye Guess" if he/she didn't think that that the answer was one of the eight on the board.  Each correct answer was worth 10 points in the first round, and a new board was revealed for the second round, worth 20 points apiece, however a wrong answer forfeited control of the questions.  A special prize was awarded if a contestant answered 5 correctly in a row.  The first player to earn 100 points won the game.

There were three different bonus rounds during the run of Eye, but the longest-lasting bonus round (as well as the round in the episode shown on Game Show Network) involved the winning contestant picking numbers (and winning prizes) until picking the "STOP!" sign, which ended the bonus round.  If the contestant picked every number except for the "STOP!" sign, then he/she won a new car.
