Trivia / Minute to Win It

  • Bonus Material: Games, interviews and extra content were all found on the now defunct website.
  • Dueling Shows: Primarily with The Cube, a British stunt-based game show which uses Camera Tricks and the added complexity of performing the tasks inside an enclosed space (i.e. the titular Cube, four meters in length on all sides) as its main gimmick. At the time, the format was being shopped around to CBS and FOX (the former with Neil Patrick Harris hosting). It was even speculated by some that Minute was intended to be a frugal variant of The Cube in the first place, but started to evolve into something closer to Beat the Clock meets Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? later in development.
    • Ironically, ITV2, a sister channel of The Cube broadcaster ITV, would air a British version of Minute. However, they overhauled the format into a competitive, team-based game dissimilar to The Cube or Millionaire — so much so that some actually thought it was better than the original U.S. format.
    • Similarly, in Spain, the local versions of both shows aired on Cuatro.
  • Working Title: The show was piloted as "Perfect 10".
  • Obvious Rule Patch: When Rachel Adams made a bubble out of a bubble and barely got it in time during Mega Bubble, the producers saw how this could cause a major issue with their judgements when deciding whether people made the bubble in or not in time. After this, a rule was added where the bubble must remain whole as it passes through the hoop.
