Minute to Win It
Encyclopedia
Minute to Win It is an American prime time game show on NBC
hosted by Guy Fieri
. Contestants take part in a series of 60-second challenges that use objects that are commonly available around the house.
The show premiered on March 14, 2010, airing the first two episodes back-to-back at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific
. On October 6, 2010 Minute to Win It was awarded the C21/Frapa Award for Best studio based game show format at the MIPCOM Television Festival in France. A card game, board game, and video game versions for the Wii
, Kinect and Nintendo DS
have been made for this show. The U.S. season two finale aired on September 7, 2011. A third season of Minute to Win It, not yet announced, would be expected to air in the winter of 2012 on NBC.
The contestant is presented with the blueprint for the first game and must successfully complete a game within 60 seconds to win $1,000 and advance to the next level. After successfully completing the first, fifth, eighth, and recently ninth level games, the contestant is guaranteed to leave with no less than the cash award for those levels.
The difficulty of the games progressively increase throughout the show. If time expires or the conditions of the game cannot be fulfilled (such as by the contestant exhausting any allotted attempts or committing a foul), the contestant loses a "life". If the contestant loses all three of their "lives", the game ends and the contestant's winnings drop to the previous milestone they passed.
After successfully completing a game, the contestant can leave with the amount of money already won before seeing the blueprint for the next game. However, once the contestant elects for the game, the contestant cannot leave the show until that game is complete or they have exhausted all three of their "lives".
In the first part of season one, $50,000 was the only milestone; players who were eliminated from the game before completing the level five game left with nothing. The milestones at $1,000 and $250,000 were added in the second part of that season. Then, partway through season two, a milestone at $500,000 was added.
In episodes featuring celebrity contestants competing for charities, all levels are milestones, so they get all the money up to their last successful level.
In episodes featuring teams of two contestants, some games are played by both players, while others are played solo. A player can only make three consecutive attempts at solo games (including re-attempts following losing a life; an intervening team game does not reset this count). After a player makes three attempts, the other player is forced to attempt the next solo game.
In Christmas episodes, 2 extra games are added for "the 12 games of Minute to Win It": the 11th game is worth $2,000,000 and the 12th is worth $3,000,000. Both are milestones.
Also in Christmas episodes, some games contain a "Holiday Bonus," in which a contestant wins a gift if the level is passed. A visual representation of the gift is placed inside of a box, which is opened if and when the level is completed. The gifts include:
Some season two episodes feature similar bonuses known as a "Blueprint Bonus." However, the bonus is shown on a large monitor, and it is shown before the blueprint and before the game is played. So far, the only bonuses won by contestants have been the extra life and extra ten seconds. When a contestant decides to use the extra ten seconds, a special 70 second clock is used, or if the contestant is playing a survival game (like Keep it Up, Defying Gravity, High as a Kite, Uphill Battle, etc.) the clock is reduced to 50 seconds. In addition, the outer floor lights of the 60-second circle do not turn red for the first ten seconds. For the survival games, the first ten lights are already red.
First top prize was reached in Denmark. Two teams have both won $500,000. The 1st group of Kimberly Fox & Aaron Hedrick then walked away on their July 21, 2010 episode (they were playing as a team) as this was before contestants could bank $500,000. The Bishop family failed the level 10 challenge, Supercoin, and had banked and won $500,000.
version of the series uses a different format from the United States version. Each team (consisting of a captain (either Joe Swash
or Caroline Flack
) and five contestants of the captain's gender) compete in six games - either head-to-head or solo-play against the clock - to win points. The highest-scoring team after 6 games goes through to two games which make up the cash prize round. The first of these games builds up the prize fund by £1,000 for every point scored, and the second determines whether or not they win the money. The maximum winnings a team can earn is £30,000.
's Kelly West praised Guy Fieri's "enthusiastic" performance and his ability to interact well with contestants. West also noted that the show could do well with families and viewers who have a preference to non-intellectual game shows, although the challenges were criticized for needing little to no skill to accomplish.
On November 1, 2010, NBC announced that season two of Minute to Win It, would begin with three new holiday themed episodes starting on December 7, December 14, and December 21.
Then on November 15, 2010, NBC announced that the second season of Minute to Win it would resume airing on January 5. It will feature older games, such as Defying Gravity, High Roller, Rapid Fire, Spoon Frog, and Whippersnapper, newer games, like Floatacious, Hoop de Loop, On the Hook, Tilt-a-cup, and Volcano, never-before-seen games like A Bit Dicey, Mad Dog, Nice Build, Pong5, Splitter, and new twists on old games like Don't Blow the Kings, Extreme Mini Stack Attack, Face the Gingerbread Man, Mag-Nutstacker, and Oh Nuts. Season two also features a summer run that began on June 8, 2011. Minute to Win It Season three has not been announced yet.
The most played games of season 2 are Speed Eraser, The Nutstacker, and A Bit Dicey.
The first season featured individuals, teams, celebrities, last-man-standing competitions, individual head-to-head competitions (one or three games), and a million dollar mission. The second season features teams, families (Bishop family and Canter family), celebrities, individual and team head-to-head competitions (seven games), former contestants with a second chance (Mark Staniec and Heather Barker), and former contestant redemption head-to-head (Lynn and Bethany Gerber vs. Heidi Billington and Donna Speakman).
