Completing a challenge allows the player to go on to the next level (and increases their potential winnings), and completing all 7 levels earns the player a grand prize of £250,000. You only get 9 lives to use in your game But hold on, before you begin jumping to conclusions and saying that this show is basically Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? meets The Krypton Factor, there's just one more thing that should be noted: you have to do all the tasks within a giant four metre wide acrylic glass cube, with a limited number of lives, and chances to simplify a task or practice it beforehand. Oh, and unlike most game shows patterned off of Millionaire, every level is All or Nothing, there are in fact no safe points at all (unless you bail out before you commit yourself to the next game, which is the only time you're actually allowed to quit by the way). For what this show may or may not lack in originality (stunt game shows are not a new idea; see Beat the Clock, although a lot of the challenges on this show are quite ingenious at times), it truly is Better Than It Sounds once you actually notice all the Visual Effects of Awesome (which are the result of this show's biggest draw aside from the game itself: its innovative camerawork and clever use of CGI) The show has been quite a hit for ITV 1, currently preparing for its fifth series later in 2012. It has also spun off several international versions, all of which are filmed on set of the original in London. Over in America, CBS had greenlit a pilot for an American version not long after the first series wrapped in the UK, but Minute to Win It likely stole their thunder. Meanwhile, Spain got their own version in 2012, which can be viewed on Mediaset España's official site here with no regional lockout.
