gruesome tests that take place during the night in a remote forest. In each episode, three contestants enter the forest at dusk and are told they have the opportunity to unlock chests full of money. What they're not told is that in order to win big, they have to conquer some of the scariest

challenges they'll ever face in order to locate the hidden keys. And if the contestants manage to pass the mental and physical tests, they still must outrun a pack of dogs trained to guard the cash in order

to earn all the money.

hours to make 1,000 cupcakes. The baker who the judges determine made the best cupcakes in all three rounds

takes home the cash.

Trapped! is a game/quiz show where a group of children have to go through levels and try to escape the tower.

Trapped!Set in a gothic fairy-tale, a group of six children called "the Unfortunates" are winched up to the sixth floor of a tower looked over by Greenall's

Caretaker character. On each floor, the children are challenged to complete a game except that one of them is

instructed by the Voice to sabotage the game. The saboteur is nominated at random by the Voice, and fed this information plus hints on how to mess up

the game If the task is won, the saboteur is knocked out and

must remain trapped on this level. If the task is lost, everyone votes on who they thought the

saboteur was and the person with the most votes is trapped instead - which may or may not be the real

saboteur.

The show as a whole is set in a five-storey tower which, from the opening titles, appears to be on a small island in the middle of the sea. The show is mainly aimed and children and pre-teenagers as the genre is horror for kids therefore it isn’t too inappropriate for young people. The rules of the show are that you cannot cheat and you cannot trust anyone.
