About Faces


About Faces is an American game show that aired from January 4, 1960, to June 30, 1961, created by Ralph Edwards. The host was Ben Alexander and the show's announcer was Tom Kennedy.

Gameplay

Two contestants were given clues about incidents in their lives. The first contestant to guess the relationship with the opposite person correctly was the winner and won prizes.
There was also a home-participation game called Place the Face, inspired by an earlier Ralph Edwards creation of the same name.
