 Raid the Cage is an Israeli Game Show format that first premiered in 2013. The series features two-person teams of contestants, who answer questions to earn time in the titular "cage"—a room that is filled with prizes that they can collect. Some of them can be easily carried out, but some are a lot heavier or need to be pushed out (such as vehicles), and higher-valued prizes often require the completion of physical puzzles and stunts to unlock.Most versions of the show utilize a single-team format with similarities to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, with one contestant answering multiple-choice questions, and the other then entering the cage, with each question worth an increasing amount of time. The game ends immediately if the runner is trapped in the cage (there is no clock in the studio besides a warning before the cage closes), or a question is answered incorrectly. After the fifth round, the contestants are given the option to bail out between rounds.The U.S. adaptation uses a considerably different format: instead of a solo pair, the game is played between two teams in three rounds. The contestant is given eleven possible answers from one of two categories (with the first choice determined by a coin toss in round 1, and made by the team in the lead in rounds 2 and 3), and must match them up with ten clues in 45 seconds—earning time (3, 5, or 7 seconds depending on the round) in the cage for each correct answer. The team with the higher total cash value of prizes after three rounds wins whatever they've collected, and advances to a final Bonus Round to "beat the cage".The series first premiered in 2013 in Israel; it is a notable Long Runner as a daily series in several Latin American countries (such as Mexico, whose version has aired since 2015), under the title Escape perfecto. In 2016, NBC ordered a pilot for a U.S. version, Perfect Escape, with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Leslie Mann as hosts, but it was not picked up. An American version—filmed from the set of the Mexican version in Mexico City—would ultimately premiere on CBS in October 2023 as Raid the Cage, with Damon Wayans Jr. and Jeannie Mai as hosts. Wayans also serves as a co-executive producer. This series provides examples of
