Main Game

The game features eight players, but in this version, they are divided into two sets of four. Before the question is asked, the order of the contestants is determined with an educated guess question (such as "How many teeth does a lion have?") The one closest to the answer (in this case, 30) gets the first choice of answers from four picks (three in the second round), and the others in ascending order. If a player gets an educated guess question exactly right, that contestant wins a US $

The player who picks last is locked into the one answer not chosen by the other players; the person who picks the wrong answer (in this case, Paul Newman) is eliminated in spectacular fashion (riding a biplane wing, pulled off a dock by a speedboat or blasted off in a chair rigged with an explosive device).

Season 1 (25 ways)

Number	Name	Method	Round
1	On a Wing and a Prayer	The contestant with the wrong answer is strapped to a stand on top of a plane and the plane takes off, away from the game.	1
2	Road Rage	The contestant with the wrong answer is dropped off a moving semi-truck.	1
3	Single Car Pileup	The contestants are seated in cars. The car with the contestant who has chosen the wrong answer then accelerates down a runway, rides up an exploding ramp and crashes. Identical to Way 46, Flipping Wreck in the UK version — but with the contestant in the driver's seat and the car being towed towards the ramp.	2
4	You Fuse, You Lose	All the contestants sit in individual pilot chairs with a box of explosives underneath, each crate having a fuse to them that is lit. The contestant with the wrong answer is sent upwards by the explosion beneath them.	2
5	Powerboat Yank	The contestants stand on a dock wearing life jackets with their backs to a lake; those vests are connected by a rope to the stern of a powerboat's hull. The incorrect contestant, on cue, gets yanked off the pier and skids on water behind the tow of the boat, going in excess of 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h).	1
6	Monster Truck Squash	Each contestant takes their place in the driver's seat of one of four cars, parked parallel to each other. The contestant with the incorrect answer gets their car crushed under the force of the monster truck, "Truck Norris."	1
7	Down with the Ship	The contestants each man a small rowboat on a lake. The host fires a cannonball onto the ship of the wrong contestant, sinking them out of the game. They sink with the ship as they are connected to it.	2
8	Airlift	All the contestants are connected, via harness and rope, to a hovering helicopter in the background. The wrong contestant is pulled off the ground and removed from the scene accordingly. Identical to Way 23, Chopper Pull, of the UK original.	2
9	The Balls of Doom	The contestants are individually strapped into steel balls perched on top of an hill. The wrong answer to the question sends the loser downhill, but instead of a pool in the UK version with a similar name, into a ravine of a mining quarry at estimated speeds around 35 miles per hour (56.3 km/h).	1
10	What the Truck?	The contestant with the wrong answer is dropped off on a pickup truck that goes over a cliff, and explodes. Luckily, a helicopter is attached to the players' harness to pull them to safety.	1
11	Flame Out	The contestants are put with their backs against a wooden wall that is set ablaze and yanked back by a firehose blast for the losing contestant.	2
12	Thrust Me	The contestants are strapped to jet packs attached to a pulley that sends the loser into a ravine.	2
13	Wrong in 60 Seconds	Each contestant is standing on top of a car's roof, propped up by a safety harness. The wrong contestant is driven by a stunt driver off the set, crashing through blocks and various obstacles along the way.	1
14	All Washed Up	The four contestants pair up and stand in window washing rigs. After a player gets saved from each pair, the rig with the wrong contestant sends them into a free fall down the side of the building.	1
15	Stage Fright	Three contestants each stand behind a podium with their backs to the edge of a building. The player who picked the wrong answer gets yanked from behind off the building.	2
16	Tragic Carpet Ride	On three red carpets, each contestant takes their stand; whilst a limo is hooked onto the far end. For the wrong contestant, they fall onto the carpet, and the limo behind them drags their red carpet and that player away from the scene.	2
17	Nothing But Net	Each contestant is standing on top of a snare net. The wrong contestant is flown off in their net 100 feet (30.5 m) into the air.	1
18	Release The Hound	Dressed in safety gear, the contestant with the wrong answer runs off being chased by a hungry pitbull named Twinkie.	1
19	No Pane, No Gain	At a western saloon, the three players stand behind the bar. The contestant whose answer is incorrect gets thrown through a candy glass plate window by two stuntmen named Morty and Shorty.	2
20	Indiana Jeff and the Tower of Boom	Standing behind mine carts, the person who gets the wrong answer is ejected at the end of the track, and gets sent skyward.	2
21	Anchor Management	The players are attached via lifejacket to a chain and anchor. The loser's anchor is dropped into the sea by the host, and the anchor drags that player into the sea.	1
22	Yes, We Cannon	The players are placed in cannons. The loser is shot into the water.	1
23	Shark Bait	The players hang from the back of a boat by way of harness. The incorrect answer sends that player into the sea.	2
