Firstly i have no name for the show but its kinda of a "treasure hunt".
Ill explain the game in a couple of sentences and then ill stretch it out.
The game is set in one country. The organizers will "hide" the winning ticket and the people who bought the "app" with the instructions will try and find it.
Lets stretch the idea now.
Customers(the treasure hunters) will buy the ticket for 5 dollars through the app. and the app will give them questions leading to the place the organizers hid the winning ticket (note that the questions will be very hard so it could take them at least a month to find the place.) The first question will lead the hunters to a location where one of the organizers will give them the password to the second question on the app. and so on till 10 questions are over and they find the winning ticket.
It will take the hunters a lot of traveling time because the organizers are in different states(usa in my case). The price pool will be like 60-70 grands at least because they will spend time.( who wouldn't love 70 grands a month , and the price pool will increase depending how many tickets are sold.)
*People who buy the starting question on the app will not have the right to see questions right away, because all hunters will start the mission at the same time, as a fair play. Once the first question is released you cannot buy the game anymore.
Edit: Each Player will have a unique ID and barcode to remember after they do the payment and show upon getting the winning ticket, so other people dont claim their price.
They also have to show their passwords they got through the game from the organizers. (basically show that they went through every step.)
Now the question part.
The 10 big questions will have their sub-questions leading the hunters to the different locations. Question will be hard like kinda cicada 3301 but not that hardly exaggerated.
The hunters will also have to ask the local people for directions because we wont be giving the location so easily.
Put this whole thing on TV (people struggling to find the answers, people traveling through the country, sleeping outside to win extra time, crossing the country, rivers, forests. ) and you've got yourself an entertaining program worth watching.
Once the show gets big. give the winner 60% - 70% of the whole ticket , merchandising and advertisements deal and the rest in your pocket. (beside marketing and other expense like employees payment etc)
Thats the whole idea.
It takes a shit ton of money to start this thats why im shouting it out because i wont be able to start this project.
If you have any ideas or corrections feel free so i can update this to bring it up to a professional idea for a project worth selling.
