The High School Team Format of Western Visayas Game KNB ran from March 21 to December 31, 2022, and was a spin-off of the old Game Ka Na Ba group format. The game consisted of four rounds: "Elimination", "Taranta" (Panic), "Diskarte" (Strategy), and Jackpot rounds. The elimination round was started
by eight team players with the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, violet, gray, and black, composed of the previous episode's defending champion, and seven teams composed of those from the past episode (those who failed to answer for the elimination) and replacement teams for those who got eliminated from the previous episode. Each team is composed of three individuals: the game texter (the one who sent the text entry to the studio contestant) and two chosen teammates. Each team had the goal to be the first to run to and press their respective buzzers as a team. If a team answered correctly, they moved on to the Taranta; if they answered incorrectly, they were sent to the Tambay (Standby) Podium to wait for a chance to return to the game stage; any team could go back to the game if there was only one team left in the game platform. Any "Tambay Podium" team was considered eliminated from the game and would not come back for the next episode unless there was a shortage of Round 2 teams. Successful teams from the elimination round sat on hydraulic seats to play "Taranta Round". All teams were asked one question, and each individual was given three different sets of choices, and they had to answer in three seconds. The order of answering individuals was random. The top two teams with the highest number of correct answers advanced to the Diskarte round. If two teams tied, they were both given another question to find the option that didn't belong in the question. Each team could select one member to press the buzzer. The two losing teams will be eliminated and would not be brought back for the next episode. The two remaining teams battled for the Jackpot round through the Diskarte round. Each team member was placed on top of individual mobile podiums, and had to answer questions to win the round. A correct answer advanced a team member one spot closer to the final platform through the mobile podium. If one member arrived at the third spot first, they received and get 15 points as an individual bonus prize. When a team member was already at the third spot, their next correct answer allowed them to advance other teammates one spot forward. When all team members reached the third stage, they needed one last correct answer to win 30 points and proceed to the Jackpot round. Each team is given three "Diskarte Powers" that could be used on the opposing team. A contestant from the team will say Sugod ako! (I will proceed!) when he or she does not want to use any of the powers, and it could only be used after a correct answer was given.
- "Manigas Ka!" (Freeze!) – Forced a contestant to lose a turn or prevent them from answering the next question. This could be used by a teammate after a correct answer was given.
- "Pass-sagot" (Pass the answer) – Allowed the team to choose one member and have them answer the question; if they answered correctly, he can advance one stage forward; otherwise, the contestant who called this power moved forward. This power could only be used when a question was being asked.
- "Back-to-Base" – Forced the contestant to move back to the base spot. This power could only be used after a question has been answered correctly. When the final round was completed, the team won 50 points. The team needed to answer five out of seven questions correctly. Each question starts by mentioning their categories. A team member familiar with the category had to say "Mine!" first before pressing their assigned buzzer. After saying "Mine!", the question was revealed, and the team member responsible had to provide an answer. If the contestant was sure about the answer, they would say "Sure Na!" (I'm sure!) before it was locked in as the final answer of all three members. If the contestant was not sure about the answer, they could consult the team for the answer, or have another member say "Mine!" so that the question can be answered by the new contestant. The team needed to answer these questions within 1 minute and 30 seconds. Each correct answer in the jackpot round receives 7 points (7×7+1=50). The team can pass up to two times.
