Short-lived [[Game Show]] on [[FOXFox]] that took the idea of an actual and legitimate [[Deadly Game]] to a whole new level. The game started off fairly pedestrian, with two contestants naming off items from a stated category until somebody won, with best-two-out-of-three getting the choice of $500 or (''dun dun dun'')...the Chamber, where they would have to answer questions with a chance to win well over $100,000.
 
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).
