Format

Contestants in a pair face nine different rounds. One partner answers trivia questions on various topics, each question is worth a certain time in a cage with various prizes. The purpose of the challenger is to answer all nine questions and successfully complete the game, while providing maximum time to the partner each round to get as many prizes as possible.


Gameplay

Inside the cage are various prizes with different values. There are ten rounds, in each round, one contestant must answer trivia questions and the other contestant must get in the cage to collect prizes.


Answer the question

At the start of each round, the answerer is asked a trivia question with four options, which that contestant must answer correctly. Choosing the correct answer, the cage door will open, allowing the other contestant to get in the cage to start collecting prizes. That player may answer the question immediately, or use one of the lifelines: *Switch the Question: The question is replaced, and the answers remain the same (some international versions also changes the answers). *Switch Roles: Swapping two contestants for that round only. The contestant who gets the cage prizes answers the question and if the answer is correct, the contestant that answers the trivia questions gets inside the cage to collect prizes. Both contestants then return the original roles. Correctly answering the question, the cage door will open for a certain amount of time (10 seconds for round 1, 20 seconds for round 2 and so on, up to 90 seconds for round 9). While answering in the first nine rounds, this contestant may not discuss with the prize-collecting contestant. In the final round (tenth round), both contestants may discuss with each other to answer one final question, the Cage Question. If they managed to answer this question correctly, they automatically win all prizes in the cage. Giving an incorrect answer at any point ends the game, and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point.


Collect prizes

If the answerer answers the question correctly, the cage door will open for a certain amount of time (10 seconds for round 1, 20 seconds for round 2 and so on, up to 90 seconds for round 9). The prize collector may choose between regular prizes that may be collected immediately, while some larger prizes may require completing a physical challenge before collecting. Both contestants may consult in this phase, but there are no timekeeping devices to keep track of time. The prize-collecting contestant must pay attention to the time remaining and get out of the cage before the cage door closes. At the end of the time limit, the door will close. If the contestant is still trapped in the cage, the game is over and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point. In the final round (tenth round), the contestant may consult with the answerer for the Cage Question. If they managed to answer this question correctly, they automatically win all prizes in the cage.


Ending the game

After collecting prizes for the fifth round, the pair may choose to retire from the game with all prizes collected or continue playing. Both contestants can consult the option they choose. If they choose to continue, they may also retire from the game after any later round, provided that they have completed both the answer phase and the prize-collecting phase for that round. Giving an incorrect answer at any point or failing to get out of the cage at the end of the time allotted ends the game and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point.
