I decided to start a different thread for the Daily Break games. It is mainly because of the length of each of the posts is much longeer compared to the straight forward questions and answers from the Secret Word and Bonus Trivia Questions. It will be the same info as on the GSN Unofficial Daily Break Trivia Answers thread except for the songs at the end of the GSN thread at this point. Note: If there is an outcry for just the answers on the main thread, I can try to go that route as well.
