In my introduction post, I gave an example of random game ideas I've had. Sometimes I have more, and I'm curious on where they would go? I have three main ideas floating in my head. "The Creativity Section", "The Other Game Shows Sections", or "This isn't the place for that." I could be wrong on all three as well. I don't know exactly. I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but I'll also show the example as well to avoid forcing staff to look for my introduction post as well.
"Think of the movie Circle. A movie where there are 50 people in a room, with their own circle to stand on, and a machine in the middle of the room. Every two minutes, everyone votes on someone to eliminate. If you step off of your circle, you're also eliminated. Elimination causes the machine to electrocute you to death. Last one standing gets to live.
Now, how would I make this a game show setting? First, drop the player number. I'm thinking about 20. 50 would take hours. Second, I can't kill anyone, but this is a game show! We need money! My first idea for a cash prize is $100,000. I don't expect too much of it to make it to the end, I'll explain why in a bit. Next, time limit I would say goes down to 1 minute rather than 2, again for time. Also, change the machine with a host. We don't need someone amazing because this would be run more by the players than the host.
Into the game now. Host starts the game. "[Number] players remaining... Let's play Circle." One minute timer starts. Everyone can vote on a keypad or a touchscreen or whatever, with conversing allowed. Once the minute is up, what everyone voted for is revealed. To make things harder, I don't think it should just be whoever has the most votes is out. To eliminate someone, at least half of the players (rounded up) must vote for the same person.
What if that fails? The game continues, everyone can change their vote whenever they want, and it'll stop as soon as someone has at least half of the votes. Just one issue. Every .75 seconds, $250 will be lost from the prize. $1,000 every three seconds. Meaning it will take 5 minutes for $100,000 to drop to $0. Players will have a button next to them as well. At any time, they can press the button and stop the round immediately, however, they also eliminate themselves from the game. The last one standing takes whatever money is left in the prize fund, whether it be a mere $250 or a massive $100,000.
