Hosted by comedian Christopher Titus, "Pawnography" is the most significant departure of any spinoff from the familiar "Pawn Stars" format. Eschewing the reality show format, the series instead delivers a game show that utilizes Gold & Silver Pawn Shop's Rick Harrison, Corey Harrison, and Austin Russell as antagonists to the contestant in three rounds of trivia.
In the first round, the contestant takes on Corey and Austin, who collaborate as a team. If the contestant wins, a pre-selected item from the pawn shop moves on to the next round. If the duo outscores the contestant, the shop re-secures it. This format more or less repeats for two more rounds, with only the only change being the player(s) the contestant has to face. In round two, the player attempts to beat Rick. Finally, in round three, the contestant tangles with all three pawnshop employees at once. If the contestant wins in the final round, they get all the cash and items they secured in the previous two rounds. However, if the trio is victorious, the contestant receives nothing.
Despite being the highest-rated series premiere of the year for History Channel, the game show only lasted 30 episodes spread over two seasons. While the History Channel still hosts the series on its website, there are no plans to make further episodes.
