Cash Builder and Head-To-Head rounds:

Each contestant comes up one at a time and attempts to build up the team's prize fund through two rounds. The first round, known as the "Cash Builder", sees each make an individual cash pot by answering as many questions as the contesatnt can within one minute, with each correct answer being worth £1,000.

After completing the Cash Builder, the contestant enters the "Head-to-Head" round, in which the contesant attempts to bring the money that he or she earned to the bottom of a seven-step money board (referred to as "home"); in the first series, the board was eight steps long. Before the round begins, the money is placed three steps down from the top of the board, and the contestant is given the choice of either starting at that position, beginning one step closer to home or being one step closer to the chaser. Should the contestant elect to stay where he or she is currently, he or she must answer five questions correctly in order to bank the money into the prize fund.

However, should the contestant decide to change position, the chaser offers them a different amount of money depending on the change. If closer to Home, the contestant must answer four questions correctly but for a reduced amount of money, while being closer to the chaser means the contestant must answer six questions correctly but earn a higher amount of cash. In some cases (espacially in the second half of the individual rounds), the lower amount can be a negative amount of money or zero, which is deducted from the prize fund if the contestant makes it to home, or gaining nothing but a place in the Final Chase.

Once the contestant nominates their starting position, he or she then begins the Head-to-Head in which both the contestant and the chaser are given the same multiple-choice questions, in which each question consists of three answers to choose from. To answer, each must say which option they want to select (A, B or C), contestants and the chaser have 15 seconds to answer the question. For each correct answer made by the contestant and the chaser, he or she moves one step down the board, while an incorrect answer forces the contestant to stay where he or she is currently.

In order to win the round and have a place in the final round of the contest (known as the "Final Chase"), each contestant must move down the board towards the bottom (known as "getting home"), in order to bank the money chosen to go for based on the starting position he or she elected to take. The chaser's job in this round is to catch them by moving closer to them (referred to as "closing the gap") and eventually move onto the step that the contestant currently occupies; if the chaser manages to do this, then the contestant is "caught" and is eliminated from the contest with the money removed from the board.

It is possible for all four contestants to be caught by the chaser; in the event that this happens, the prize fund is set to £4,000 and the team nominates one contestant to proceed to the Final Chase.

Final Chase

In order to win the prize fund that is banked, the surviving contestants of the last series of round. The round itself is divided into two phases – in the first phase, the contestants answer questions in order to earn themselves steps to keep them ahead of the chaser, while the second phase sees the chaser trying to match these steps, in order to "catch" the team and thus prevent them winning the prize fund. Before the first phase begins, the contestants are given a head-start of one step per contestant participating in the round. The team (or sole remaining contestant) is then given two minutes to answer as many questions as they can correctly, with each correct answer earning them one more step from the chaser. If only one contestant is present in the Final Chase, no buzzer is used.

When the second phase of the round begins, the chaser has two minutes to catch the contestants. To do so, the chaser must match the number of the steps that the contestants earned in the first phase, by correctly answering as many questions as possible within the time limit. However, should the chaser either give an incorrect answer or pass on a question, the clock is briefly stopped and the question is thrown over to the contestants, who can push the chaser back a step if they can give a correct answer. From series 3 onwards, a new rule was added in which if the contestants answer the chaser's question correctly whilst the chaser is at the starting line, an additional step is added to the requirement for the chaser. If the chaser manages to achieve the same number of steps that the contestants achieved, before time is up, then the contestants lose their prize fund and leave empty-handed. But, if the contestants are not "caught", they win the prize fund; if only one contestant remains for the Final Chase, he or she wins the entire prize pot, otherwise it is split equally between those participating in the final round.

It will run one evening, if you're interested in being a contestant then drop a comment below or PM. It's just a little min game.

If you would like to be chaser then PM me.

If you want to be a chaser then it would be helpful if you're actually experienced and good at this stuff to make it more competitive.

I've changed the head to head, each contestant has 15 seconds to answer the multiple choice.
