Atrapa los Millones is a Chilean game show which aired on Canal 13 in Chile. It is based on the UK series The Million Pound Drop Live. However, unlike the original UK version, it was not broadcast live, and there were several changes to the format. The show premiered on March 2012, and was hosted by Don Francisco.[1]

Game format

A team of two people with a pre-existing relationship is presented with CL$400,000,000 (about US$600,000), banded in 50 bundles of CL$8 million (in pieces of 10,000 pesos) each. The team must risk the entire amount on each of seven multiple-choice questions.

For each question, the contestants choose one of two categories, then indicate which answer(s) they wish to risk their money on by moving the bundles of cash onto a row of trap doors, termed "Trampas (Drops)", each of which corresponds to one answer. However, they must always keep at least one drop "clear" with no money on it. In addition, six of the seven questions have a time limit; any money that is not placed on an answer when time runs out will be lost.

Once the money is in place, the trap doors for the incorrect answers are opened, and the cash on them falls out of sight and is lost. The contestants then continue the game using the cash they had placed on the correct answer. They get to keep whatever money is left after the seventh question; if they lose everything before reaching this point, the game ends immediately and they leave with nothing.
