Main Game
In Round 1, four contestants each attempt three multiple-choice questions with two possible answers. The host reads the two answers first, then the question. All four contestants have approximately 30 seconds to write down their answers on card stock included in their game kits. Once all acknowledge writing, they reveal answers in a sequence determined by producers. The host then reveals the correct answer. Each contestant who answered correctly is awarded the prize money assigned for that question; incorrect answers earn nothing. After the first question, all four receive the next question, and the process repeats. The contestant with the least money at the end of the round is eliminated and receives no prize money earned before elimination. The three with the most money advance to Round 2. Round 2 is the same, but with three possible answers. Again, the player with the least money is eliminated empty-handed. Round 3 is the same, but with four possible answers. The higher-scoring player wins the game. If there's a tie at the end of any round (for second, third, or fourth in the first two rounds; for first in the last), the tied players play a special game called AGAD-AGAD: a scavenger hunt race for the correct answer to a survey question. When the host says 'GO', they start the race. The last-place player is eliminated and the highest-scoring player(s) advance.
Bonus Round
Before the break, the player writes his/her wager, then faces another 4-option question. He/she has to answer it in 30 seconds. Giving the correct answer adds the money equal to his/her wager, but an incorrect answer loses the wager. However, if a player wagers all of their money and answers correctly, his/her wager pays 5:1; if he/she is wrong while wagering everything, they win nothing. The maximum top prize is ₱300,000.
