Take It All is an American game show hosted by Howie Mandel in which contestants participate in a game similar to a white elephant gift exchange, attempting to win or steal increasingly valuable prizes each round to avoid elimination.
The final two contestants participate in a variant on the prisoner's dilemma in which one decision by each of the two finalists determines whether they both go home with prizes, one winner takes everything, or they both go home with nothing.
In the show, a contestant selects and opens a prize worth thousands of dollars: dream prizes such as luxury cars, exotic trips, jewelry and VIP experiences.
Then, the next player is faced with a dilemma: do they steal a prize that has already been revealed, or do they take a chance with another unopened prize, hoping what's inside is worth more?
But that's just the beginning. When there are only two contestants left, the players have a life-changing choice to make: keep the prizes they have - or try to take all the prizes.
If both players choose to "keep mine," they will each keep the prizes they have won in the prior rounds. If one player chooses "keep mine" and the other chooses to "take it all," the player that chose "take it all" will go home with all the prizes - theirs and their opponents.
But if both choose "take it all," they both go home with nothing. The stakes are insanely high as each contestant grapples with the choice of a lifetime.
Take It All is from Universal Television and Alevy Productions. Howie Mandel (America's Got Talent), Scott St. John and Mike Marks are the executive producers.
