Packaged by Jack Barry, this show was the first produced by Barry on NBC following the quiz show scandals of the 1950s, and the first of three games Barry produced at NBC in Burbank, California (the other two were Bullseye and Hot Potato, both produced by Barry & Enright).
In 1986, Barry & Enright threatened to sue Mark Goodson Productions for copyright infringement regarding the name of a game on The Price Is Right at the time also titled "Blank Check". The game was renamed "Check Game".
