Creator/{{ABC}} GameShow that ran for six episodes beginning on October 23, 2011, although they were taped in Summer 2010. It's basically an import of the Russian game show ''What? Where? When?'', and the idea is for a six-man team to answer NintendoHard questions using lateral thinking and teamwork.

* DownerEnding: A team of video gamers took on the challenge starting in the second aired episode, carrying over into the third. They made it all the way up to $600,000 with one life left. Only '''one''' person subsequently voted to stay in, [[ButThouMust which of course meant that everyone else was forced to risk their shares to play for the Million]]. They got to see two $1,000,000 questions (they still had their switch), and...well, there's a ''reason'' this is listed here.
