How does it work?
Contestants will be drawn from the audience and answer seven questions with four possible answers values from €100 to €1000 respectively.The questions in red being the milestones – the contestant must choose after each question if the wish to bank the amount won or take another question. Contestants have two lifelines ‘Ask the Audience’and ‘Take One’ which will reduce the number of answers by one. Each lifeline can be used once.
Contestants then take the amount they have won to face ‘The Chaser’. They start on step five and The Chaser starts on step seven.The Chaser will offer 150 per cent of the amount won to take a step nearer or 30 per cent of the amount won to take a step nearer home. The objective of The Chaser is to catch up with the contestant and stop them from winning!
