In the early 1980s, Kevan Moore & Associates (an independent production house headed by Kevan Moore, who was referred to as ‘the godfather of music on New Zealand television’) hired Les Thompson, an Australian journalist and broadcaster who was based in New Zealand at the time and had worked as a newsreader at Radio Hauraki in those days, to host the New Zealand version of “Give Us a Clue”, with Jenny Maxwell and Peter Rowley leading the celebrity teams.

In 1993, the format was brought back by TV3 (now Three) with Brian Edwards as host and Gary McCormick and Belinda Todd as team captains. The TV3 version was produced by Michael Hockley and Gray Taylor of First Pictures, an independent production house.
