Retrieved 24 February 2016.This game is split into four rounds. For the first round, it requires the Question Master to place the card into the plastic sleeves to cover the answer. Then the Question Master reads the question and its clue. The players then have to provide the answer by saying it out loud and also writing it on their answer sheet. In Pointless, a series of questions is presented to the players. These questions have also been surveyed to a group of 100 other people. It’s the players’ job to think of an answer that is not only correct, but also the least popular among those surveyed. This game really makes you think hard and challenge yourself! The two remaining teams compete against each other, answering questions with the intention of finding the lowest scores possible. Both teams can now confer and the winning team of this round moves on to the Final. The format of this round has differed, as listed below: Daisy Wyatt (17 November 2014).

For round three, it is a head to head challenge, the Question Master again places the card into the respective plastic sleeve and reads the questions and list of answers. The game is played until one player/team wins two of the questions.Linked Categories – Introduced in Series 5, each pass consists of two closely related categories; one team member provides an answer related to the first category while the other provides an answer to the second category. The format follows the same principles as that of the "Open-ended" format, but was rarely used and was later discontinued after the series.

Five books have been released of the show: The 100 Most Pointless Things in the World, The 100 Most Pointless Arguments in the World, The Very Pointless Quiz Book (not to be mistaken for The Pointless Book), The A-Z of Pointless: A brain-teasing bumper book of questions and trivia and "A Pointless History of the World". All five were released by Coronet. In the books, Armstrong and Osman give their insight into pointless matters.
