Rähän värit

Rähän värit (English: Moneybags) is a Dryicoran game show broadcast on Telekuusi from 3 January 2022. Based on the British original of the same name, the show is aired at 3pm every weekday for eight weeks, with 1 000 000 Kr up for grabs.

Format
Two players are picked out at random from ten, and take their places by a conveyor belt. Our players see a category, for instance "Things that happened in the 1970s", and an option on a labelled bag. If the player in "pole" position (with the first pick of if it's a correct answer) thinks it is correct, they pick up the bag. If not, they leave it, and the player in "hole" position can make their decision. Should neither player pick up the bag, it'll carry on down the belt to the host, and he'll reveal whether it's right or wrong.

Beneath the sticky label on the front of the bag is the answer, and the amount that the bag's worth. Get it right, and the player keeps the money in the bag, and advances to "pole". Get it wrong, the player is relegated to "hole" and cannot pick up the next bag. Of course, if the bag's gone all the way down to the host, neither of these things happens, and the host reveals the result of that answer.

Sometimes bags have special rules:


 * Bankrupt resets the player's value to 0 Kr.
 * Giveaway makes the player give away their highest-value bag to the other player.
 * Steal makes the player steal their opponent's highest-value bag.

This repeats until five correct answers – and some incorrect answers – have come down the conveyor belt. A new category appears after two or three right answers. Whoever's got the more money wins the head-to-head, and goes through to the three-way final later in the show.

Triple-Header
The Triple-Header final has the same rules as before, five right answers and some wrong ones. However, with three people playing, those who pick up a special bag can choose who to Give Away their bag to, and who to Steal from.

Final
Questions in the final are slightly different. The category is still named, but now two different answers appear. One is correct and worth some of the prize pot, one is incorrect and will bankrupt the player. First right answer is for 10% of the prize total, second right answer doubles it to 20%. Third right answer takes the prize to 50%, and a fourth correct answer for all the money won. The winner can choose to leave both bags, and stick with what they've got.

Reception
Launching to originally mediocre ratings, the miniscule viewers (but good for Telekuusi) were impressed with what they saw, and the show grew through word-of-mouth into one of Telekuusi's biggest ever hits, regularly winning its timeslot and becoming the channel's biggest game show. It is rumoured that a primetime week of specials is on the cards.

The show returned for a second run later in 2022, and another two series in 2023.
