Of course, while in this Chamber, contestants would be subjected to [[Cold-Blooded Torture]] involving extreme heat or extreme cold (though [[Missing Episode|unaired episodes]] supposedly had electricity and insect-themed Chambers; it's also needless to say that those with [[Claustrophobia]] need not apply). Up to seven rounds were played (of [[Timed Mission|60 seconds each]]), with correct answers worth $1,000 each. The conditions in the Chamber would intensify upon the start of each round, and if the player answered two questions in a row wrong, their "stress quotient" was at a certain level for 20 seconds, or they (or the show's staff) end the game themselves, the game would end and their bank would be reduced to half. The winnings were tripled if the player could survive all seven rounds ''and'' answer at least 25 correctly (the Chamber used in the playing also would've been retired).
 
When we say this show was short-lived, it was. Only '''three''' episodes aired. The show's failure in the ratings was likely due to the fact it was competing with [[ABC]]'s ''[[The Chair]]'', which had a similar concept but was considerably less dangerous.
