Russian Roulette (Dryicor)

Venäläinen Ruletti (English: Russian Roulette) was a Dryicoran game show based on the US original broadcast on Channel 4 in 2004. It was pulled after 4 episodes due to poor ratings and an overall negative reception.

Gameplay
The set consists of a circle with six trapdoors (referred to as "drop zones" by Rasdan), four of which are occupied by the episode's contestants.

First round
The four contestants are each given 150 Kr at the beginning of the episode, and questions for the first round are valued on that same amount.

The number of red lights on the field indicates the number of active drop zones, starting with one drop, and another drop zone is added for each succeeding question (up to five drops starting at question five) and increasing the odds that the contestant will be eliminated after providing an incorrect answer.

One contestant is shown a question and must challenge an opponent to answer it. The challenged contestant is then shown three possible answers and has 10 seconds to choose the right answer. A correct answer awards the contestant 150 Kr and becomes the challenger for the next question; if the contestant answers incorrectly or runs out of time, he/she forfeits his/her money to the challenger and must play Russian Roulette by pulling the handle in front of him/her to rotate the drop zones in play around the six trapdoors. If a drop zone lands on that contestant's spot, the trapdoor opens and they drop through the floor and are eliminated from the game. Otherwise, the contestant remains in the game and becomes the challenger for the next question.

The round ends when a contestant drops and is eliminated. If time expires before this happens, one contestant is eliminated at random via one final handle pull at the center of the stage. The contestant with the highest score is granted immunity from the drop by coming to the center of the stage to pull the handle; if there is a tie for the lead, the host pulls the lever, with all four contestants in danger of elimination. The eliminated contestant's money (if any) is distributed evenly among the remaining three contestants.

Second and third rounds
The second round is played similarly to the first, with the three remaining contestants answering questions valued at 200 Kr each, and questions now having four possible answers. In round three, the two remaining contestants face off with questions valued at 300 Kr. Play is similar to rounds one and two, except that the contestant who first hears the question may elect to answer it themselves or challenge their opponent. After round three, the last contestant standing keeps all their money and goes to the bonus round, while the runner-up drops automatically. If the runner-up had money after dropping in the third round, that money is given to the last contestant standing. If there is a tie at the end of round three, one final random Russian Roulette spin is played to determine the winner.
