Description

Minute to Win It is an American television game show created by Friday TV and hosted by Guy Fieri (first two seasons) and Apolo Ohno (Season 3) in which contestants take part in a series of 60-second challenges that use objects that are commonly available around the house for the chance to win $1-million.

Ten challenges using household items. 60 seconds on the clock. $1 million on the line. Think you can do it? You've got a Minute to Win It.

NBC's newest sensation hosted by chef and TV personality Guy Fieri has started a game revolution online and across America. People are playing these deceptively difficult games at home, at work and at parties.

The show features everyday Americans competing in 60-second challenges with household objects for a shot at a million bucks. But as the money increases, so does the level of difficulty.

After winning some money, will contestants stay and play, or take the cash and dash?

Each show offers new twists: from celebrity contestants, to summer-themed games, challenges using office supplies, as well as teams of twins, couples, and practical strangers that will have you shouting, "Did you see that?!"

Sample Challenges
