Twenty Questions (Dryicoran game show)

Kaksikymmenta kysymyksiä (English: Twenty Questions, Norwegian Tjue spørsmål) is a Dryicoran game show originally broadcast on DLO 1 (Norwegian version on DLO 3), before it switched to Televiisi until 2010 and then was resurrected by DTV 1 (Norwegian: DTV 3) in 2020. Presented by Aimo Stainton, it is based on the British game show , which aired between 2002 and 2016.

On its debut in November 2002, it became the only DLO game show to beat DTV's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in the ratings.

Gameplay
Five contestants compete for a chance to win up to 100 000 Kr (200 000 Kr in the DTV revival). They are initially seated in the Waiting Area, on one side of the studio, and each is assigned one of five colours prior to the start of the game. One ball is drawn at random from a lottery machine, and the contestant matching its colour crosses the studio to sit in Winners' Row. They are asked a series of multiple-choice questions, each with three answer options. Every correct answer adds 10 000 Kr (2002-10) or 20 000 Kr (2020-) to a prize fund, but a miss sends the contestant to the Red Area, between the Waiting Area and Winners' Row.

Once a contestant goes to the Red Area, another ball is drawn from the lottery machine and that contestant moves from the Waiting Area to Winners' Row. The host then asks an open-ended question to the contestant(s) in the Red Area. A correct answer allows them to return to Winners' Row behind the newly chosen contestant, but a miss sends them back to the Waiting Area. No money is at stake on these questions.

As the game progresses, multiple contestants can be in Winners' Row and/or the Red Area at the same time. In the former case, the host asks a new multiple-choice question to each in turn. A miss sends a contestant to the Red Area, but the others would continue playing; if all of them miss, one new contestant is chosen from the Waiting Area. In the latter case, the open-ended question is posed to all contestants in the Red Area, and they have to collectively agree on an answer. All move to either Winners' Row or the Waiting Area on a correct response or miss, respectively.

After 20 multiple-choice questions had been asked, all contestants not in Winners' Row are eliminated from the game with no winnings. Those who remain are asked one more multiple-choice question apiece, and all who answer correctly win an equal share of the prize fund. If no one answers correctly, or if no contestants are in Winners' Row after all twenty questions are asked, no one wins any money. The maximum prize of 100 000 Kr or 200 000 Kr can only be won if a single contestant correctly answers all twenty multiple-choice questions and the extra one.

Reception
The BOD original In It to Win It received mostly positive reviews from critics and fans alike, most praising Stainton's performance as host, however criticising the name (one saying that it felt like it was for a pilot only). The move to Televiisi was met with disdain from many, who felt that it had unfairly snapped up the DLO's biggest show, however after the first episode many were pleased with the show's retitling and change of title sequence to suit the British version.

The DTV revival was also incredibly popular, and pulled in massive audiences.
