A saying which holds that the finder of an object can take rightful ownership of it. The phrase featured on a clue scroll found by
Team 2 of Series 7 on
Level 2, but could easily apply to clue rooms throughout
Knightmare.
From 1991-1996 (and in 2006), many Knightmare fans knew Finders Keepers as the name of a game show, also seen on
CITV, in which
teams answered questions, followed cryptic clues and searched rooms without
fourth walls (in case, within a studio house) for various objects. Like
Fun House, it was based on and named after an American game show. Finders Keepers' main 1990s
presenter was Neil Buchanan.
In 2006 on the
Knightmare.com Forum,
Drassil wrote a sketch in which a Finders Keepers-style 'chamber raid' took place in the Knightmare Castle
antechamber. Later,
KM fans Dan the Spellcaster (a.k.a. Dan the Countdowner) and Natter45 wrote
D+LGSW - Finders Keepers, a full-length script in which the authors appear as Neil's co-hosts in an episode of Finders Keepers featuring
Lord Fear,
Elita,
Motley and
Sidriss as contestants. It can be read
here.
