PokerFace (Dryicor)

Pokerinaama (Icelandic: Pokerandlit) was a Dryicoran game show broadcast on DTV from March 2007 until December 2011, based on the British game show . The show's premise was that the contestant need not know the answers to win 1 000 000 Kr, as long as they could bluff through the game. However, getting too greedy could make you lose it all.

Gameplay
On each of the first six episodes within a series, six contestants compete for a prize of 50 000 Kr and a place in the 1 000 000 Kr final seventh episode.

Each episode begins with "The Grilling," a segment recorded one day earlier, in which the contestants are brought together to introduce and talk about themselves. They may tell the truth or lie as they see fit, with on-screen prompts indicating honesty or deception for the home viewers' benefit, and clips of their reactions to one another's claims (recorded after the Grilling is complete) are interspersed throughout the segment. The contestants then enter the studio and sit in front of separate screens, each of which displays only that person's score.

The first round consists of eight multiple-choice questions with three answer options each. Contestants have three seconds to lock in their responses, starting after the question and choices have been read, and receive 500 Kr per correct answer. On-screen prompts and a leaderboard are used to show the contestants' performance to the viewers, and at the end of the round, Walston asks each person how they think they did. As in the Grilling, contestants may tell the truth or bluff at their discretion. All six contestants then stand at a line of podiums, each of which holds a red button, and a 10-second countdown, although never really 10 seconds in practice, starts. The first contestant to push their button (if any) leaves the game or "folds" and keeps all of their winnings; however, if no one does so, the contestant with the lowest total is eliminated and forfeits their money. In the event of a tie for last place, the contestant who answered the round's questions in the slower total time is eliminated. In either case, the departing contestant is briefly interviewed and shown the leaderboard in private.

Four more rounds are played in this fashion, each with five questions and a value that increases by 250 Kr per round. After the fifth round, the last player still in the game has their winnings increased to 50 000 Kr.

The six winners return for the final, but must put their 50 000 Kr prizes at risk. All question values are doubled (1 000 Kr in the first round, increasing by 500 Kr per round thereafter). Any contestants who fold keep both their 50 000 Kr and any money they have earned in the final, but eliminated last-place contestants forfeit all of their winnings. The last remaining player has their winnings increased to 1 000 000 Kr. The final head-to-head in the final game's countdown was extended to 15 seconds.

For contestants who did not win a game, the maximum potential winnings total was 26 500 Kr in the preliminary episodes. For those who won a game but did not win the final, the maximum total was 53 000 Kr in addition to the 50 000 Kr already won in the preliminaries.

Reception
PokerFace was a welcome hit for DTV on its debut in 2007, and received new seasons into 2013. Many praised the format and the bluffing aspect, and it continued to attract high ratings until its cancellation.
