On Claim to Fame season 1, hosted by Frankie Jonas and Kevin Jonas, 12 lesser-known celebrity relatives were revealed during the ultimate guessing game. In the end, only one celebrity relative could win the $100,000 grand prize by keeping his or her identity a secret. The contestants competed in challenges in order to win clues and formed alliances to keep themselves safe. Even Frankie and Kevin did not know the identities of the contestants, although some of them were revealed to the audience throughout the season.
In addition to the clues revealed during Claim to Fame challenges, the winner of each game earned the opportunity to choose a celebrity clue from the wine room which appeared in the form of a puzzle. There was also a Clue Wall, which contained pictures and 3D objects that represented each celebrity relative. The houseguests were fully sequestered, with no TV, Internet access, or any connection to the outside world, but they were allowed to record clues and thoughts in their notebooks.
During a Claim to Fame challenge, the winner would gain immunity for the week. For the eliminations, there was a Guess-Off at the end of each episode, in which the players voted between the bottom two finishers in the challenge. The person with the most Claim to Fame votes became the Guesser, who then tried to correctly predict one of the other competitors' identities, not including the immune player. If the Guesser was correct, they were safe, and the contestant whose identity was revealed went home. However, if the Guesser was wrong, they were eliminated from the competition. After 10 episodes, all 12 of the celebrity relatives have been revealed, along with the true identities of every contestant.

L.C. won the competition, and was revealed to be the older sister of actress and singer Keke Palmer.
