A
GSN Game Show in which four contestants competed in a last-player-standing quiz contest. Each player stands on one of the six trap doors on the circular floor. A player who misses a multiple-choice question must play
Russian Roulette, by pulling a lever to spin the "Drop Zones", to stay in the game.
The first question had one Drop Zone, indicated by a red border; each question after that added a Drop Zone until five were in play. Any contestant standing in a Drop Zone fell three feet through the floor and out of the game. The last contestant in the game advanced to the
Bonus Round for a chance to win up to $100,000.
- Bonus Round: A bit different, depending on the season.
- Deadly Game: The game was named after and the premise was built around one.
- Let's Just See What WOULD Have Happened: If a player won the $10,000, he could play one more round of Russian Roulette with the drop zones that had opened for a chance at $100,000. Even if he declined, they would pull the handle anyway (with the player off the drop zone) to see what would have happened.
- Personnel:
This show provides examples of:

- Opening Narration: "Four strangers. One goal: to win a head-to-head competition for the chance of $100,000. One wrong answer could be their last... this is Russian Roulette. From [place], [occupation] [name]; from [place], [occupation] [name]; from [place], [occupation] [name]; from [place], [occupation] [name]. Now here's our host, Mark L. Wahlberg..."
