Gameplay
Teams of three contestants are tasked with completing dexterity-intensive challenges taking place within miniature, scale models of real-world locations.[1] The selected team member is allowed one free practice attempt at the challenge, but each additional attempt deducts 10% of the round's prize (which begins at £50,000) each. If the player completes the challenge in a single, official attempt, its prize is added to a jackpot. After best of five challenges, one more challenge is played in order to claim the jackpot. All team members who completed their respective challenge are eligible to attempt the final challenge; as before, each contestant receives one free practice and one attempt at the challenge (with each additional practice deducting 10% from the total jackpot).
