The action designated as the Secret Slime Action is typically simple and almost guaranteed: touching a clue, looking to the left, which was reflexive, as clues were commonly wheeled out on a small track from a tunnel to the panel's left; using the phrase "Are you..." or "Is it...", looking to the audience behind the panel, who was sometimes used for clues, saying "I don't know," which panelist Danny Tamberelli was notable for saying at the top of his lungs on the show; having a certain name, and even "being" a panelist. For example, Steve Burns (from "Blue's Clues") was slimed because the Secret Slime Action was "having a blue dog," Alex Heartman (from "Power Rangers Samurai") was slimed because the Secret Slime Action was "wearing a red unitard to work", Jade Ramsey (from "House of Anubis") was slimed because the Secret Slime Action was "having an identical twin sister", and Ryan Potter (from "Supah Ninjas") was slimed because the Secret Slime Action was "being a supah ninja".
