Gameplay

Teams of three contestants are tasked with completing dexterity-intensive challenges taking place within miniature scale models of real-world locations.[1] The nominated contestant is allowed only one attempt, with each completed challenge adding a maximum of £50,000 to a jackpot. The contestant is allowed one free practice attempt, but each additional attempt deducts 10% from the round's pot.

Whichever team wins the best of five challenges must play one more challenge to claim the jackpot. All team members who complete 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).
