Are You Ready? One million dollars hangs in the balance.

"Minute To Win It” features everyday people competing in a series of simple, yet nerve-wracking games that can lead to a one million dollar cash prize.

In each episode, these everyday people will face 10 challenges that escalate in level of difficulty using household items. Each game has a one minute time limit… failure to complete the task in 60 seconds will result in elimination.

At various points throughout the game, the competitor can walk away with the money earned up to that point - but it'll take nerves of steel to complete all 10 tasks and win one million dollars. The competitors, who come from all walks of life, are shown over 60 games prior to the competition and are encouraged to practice these one-of-a-kind challenges at home.
