 A 2019 FOX Game Show, hosted by Dax Shepard and executive produced by Justin Timberlake, in which a person plays against a gigantic, 40-foot wheel for a chance at potentially winning up to $23 million.The game is divided into four rounds of four spins each. During the first two rounds, the contestant answers each question in 10 seconds whilst the wheel is making its mind up; answering a question correctly adds whatever the ball inside the wheel rests on to the player's bank (think that old lottery game show The Big Spin. But bigger.), and wrong answers deduct instead. The first round ("Quickspin") has a maximum amount of $500,000 and each question having two possible answers. In round 2 ("Quickspin +"), each question now has three possible answers, and the contestant's supporter is given control of a button that they can press to double the amount that the question is played for, for a possible $1 million per question.Round 3 is dubbed "Build Your Wheel"; in this round, two $1 million spaces, negative values, four sets of four low-valued spaces, and two "Back to Zero" spaces are added to the wheel. This time, before the wheel is spun, the contestant gets a chance to replace some of the low-valued spaces with bigger values. They are shown the first few words of a question, and choose whether to play for $250,000, $500,000, $1 million, or $2 million (with each value only used once). If they answer correctly, the contestant can divide the money equally among all, some, or just one of the spaces. However, if they answer incorrectly, the spaces turn into more Back to Zero spaces (ranging from one, to all four, depending on which value the contestant chose to play for).In the final round, there are no more questions, but more large amounts and Back to Zero spaces are added to the wheel on every spin. The contestant automatically loses if their bank reaches $0note Hitting either a Back to Zero space or a negative value space that is bigger than or equal to the contestant's current bank at any point. The partner can secretly take a guaranteed bailout offer (calculated based on the contestant's current bank and the chance of hitting Back to Zero) during these final spins — whether they took said offer is only revealed after the final spins are completed, or the contestant goes bankrupt.
