Incredible Games

Format

The objective was to complete each game, located on a floor of the skyscraper, and rise upward. In the first series, the climax was the alphabet soup game; in the second series, reaching the penthouse allowed prizes to be won. During series two, a losing player was sent to the basement laundry room, and the other contestants had to take the lift back down to rescue them. The first series had lift doors opening directly into each game, while the second series showed a generic corridor with doors, one lit to indicate the correct room.

Occasionally in series two, the lift opened onto a darkened corridor where a dark knight walked slowly toward the lift, forcing contestants to close the doors quickly. Notable games included Alphabet Soup, in which giant letters were fished from a swimming pool to form words on a fridge, and The Dark Knight, where contestants moved one square per turn on a chessboard, with each forward move requiring a sidestep, while the dark knight could only see the last lit move.
