Raid the Cage or Kluv Hazahav, (Hebrew: כלוב הזהב) {Golden Cage} , is an Israeli game show, where couples complete trivia and physical challenges to haul prizes from a gigantic cage before the doors slam shut. The original version aired on Channel 2 (Reshet), and hosted by Avi Kushnir. The show is distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television International.
Format
Contestants play in teams of two. One contestant answers trivia questions on various topics, each question is worth a certain time for the remaining contestant to enter a cage and collect various prizes. The goal of the game is to answer all ten questions and successfully complete the game, while providing maximum time to the partner in each round to get as many prizes as possible.
Gameplay
Below are the general gameplay rules used in the original version and most international versions of the show. Exact rules and challenges may vary between international versions.
Inside the cage are various prizes with different values. There are ten rounds, in each round, one contestant must answer trivia questions and the other contestant must get in the cage to collect prizes. Before the game starts, the team must decide who answers the questions and who grabs the prizes. Their roles must stay the same through the entire game, except for the "Switch Roles" lifeline explained below.
Answering the question
At the start of each round, the answerer is asked a trivia question with four options, which that contestant must answer correctly. Choosing the correct answer, the cage door will open, allowing the other contestant to get in the cage to start collecting prizes. This contestant may answer the question immediately, or use one of the lifelines:
- Switch the Question: The question is replaced, and the answers remain the same (some international versions also change the answers).
- Switch Roles: Swapping two contestants for that round only. The contestant who gets the cage prizes answers the question and if the answer is correct, the contestant that answers the trivia questions gets inside the cage to collect prizes. Both contestants then return the original roles.
Correctly answering the question, the cage door will open for a certain amount of time (10 seconds multiplied by the current round number, up to 90 seconds for round 9). While answering in the first nine rounds, this contestant may not discuss with the prize-collecting contestant.
In the final round (tenth round), both contestants may discuss with each other to answer one final question, the Cage Question. If they managed to answer this question correctly, they automatically win all prizes in the cage.
Giving an incorrect answer at any point ends the game, and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point.
Collecting prizes
If the answerer answers the question correctly, the cage door will open for a certain amount of time (10 seconds multiplied by the current round number, up to 90 seconds for round 9). The prize collector may choose between regular prizes that may be collected immediately, while some larger prizes may require completing a physical challenge before collecting.
Both contestants may consult in this phase, but there are no timekeeping devices to keep track of time. The prize-collecting contestant must pay attention to the time remaining and get out of the cage before the cage door closes.
At the end of the time limit, the door will close. If the contestant is still trapped in the cage, the game is over and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point.
In the final round (tenth round), the contestant may consult with the answerer for the Cage Question. If they managed to answer this question correctly, they automatically win all prizes in the cage.
Ending the game
After collecting prizes for the fifth round, the pair may choose to retire from the game with all prizes collected or continue playing. Both contestants can consult the option they choose. If they choose to continue, they may also retire from the game after any later round, provided that they have completed both the answer phase and the prize-collecting phase for that round.
Giving an incorrect answer at any point or failing to get out of the cage at the end of the time allotted ends the game and the pair loses all prizes accumulated up to that point.
Tasks
Beginning from the second round, the contestants choose a big prize to play for, and the contestant who enters the cage must complete a physical challenge before being allowed to collect the big prize. Physical challenges take multiple rounds to complete, ongoing challenges can be continued in the next round if the contestant answers the next question correctly. Some great prizes in most versions include a large amount of cash, appliances, trips and vehicles, with the biggest prize usually being a brand-new car.
List of challenges in the original version, also used in some foreign versions:
- Electrical appliances: Star task – The contestant must jump on the touch screen. On every star they step on, they get a star, and on every red square they step on, they lose a star. When eight stars are collected, a stroller with Electrical appliances is freed, and the contestant can get it out of the cage.
