User:Metropolitan90/Million Dollar Mind Game

Million Dollar Mind Game is a American game show based on the Russian game show What? Where? When?.

Broadcast history
The show premiered on ABC on October 23, 2011, in a Sunday afternoon time slot. Although the show was originally developed for prime time broadcast, ABC scheduled the show for Sunday afternoon due to the 2011 NBA lockout, as a contingency plan in case the entire NBA season was cancelled.

Gameplay
The game involves six players at a time who cooperate as a team. At the start of the game, one player is designated the captain, with the captaincy rotating to another player after each question. The team is given a series of questions, each with an increasing dollar value. The questions typically require lateral thinking to solve, such as in the following examples:


 * It has been called a poem about everything. It puts age before beauty and religion before science and technology. What book is this?
 * Answer: A dictionary.


 * He's been played with for centuries and lives the majority of his life one step at a time, often moving between darkness and light, and when he's trapped, his life is over. Who is he?
 * Answer: The king in chess.

For each question, the team is given 60 seconds to discuss possible answers.
