Format

[edit]

Inspired by the British game show Sell Me the Answer it is basically a quiz show with a mix of bargaining. If a contestant does not know answer of a question, (s)he can buy the answer of the question from traders who are there to play for the contestant as well as against the contestant. The role of a trader is to help a contestant to win the maximum cash, but on the other hand, the trader also targets his own money. So, he could also completely mislead a player by giving the wrong answer.[3] In an interview, Mir, the anchor of the quiz show told– "On moral grounds, it's a little sticky because the one who you think is helping you could actually completely trick you and make you give the wrong answer."[3]

The maximum prize amount a participant can win is 2.5 million (US$30,000).[3]
