Play Your Hunch was a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production.[2] It has been considered to be something of a "spin-off" of another successful Goodson-Todman game, To Tell the Truth.[citation needed]
It featured one of Robert Redford's first professional acting roles, with Ted Koppel also making an early career appearance.[3]
