Bridge of Lies (game show)

Individual Crossings

Before each individual crossing, the team is told the category. They must then choose who, of the people that haven't already played, will cross the bridge with that category.

The contestant selected to cross the bridge is presented with a variety of true or false statements surrounding them, and has five minutes to complete a crossing. They must step on statements they think are true to progress across the bridge.^[2] Stepping on a true statement is worth £100 (£200 if the contestant is the final one to attempt a crossing) and reveals more statements, but stepping on a lie halves the accumulated total for the crossing. Stepping on 3 lies at any point during one crossing results in a failed crossing, and eliminates the contestant from the show. Should a contestant successfully form a path from one end of the bridge to another, they bank the money accumulated from their crossing and are through to play in the final, the maximum total is £2,200.^[1]

The fourth member of the team to undertake the Individual Crossing stage is given double money for each Truth they step on, bringing the maximum to £4,400 for the final individual.

In the Celebrity series, each truth for the first 3 players in a team is worth £200, with the fourth player earning £400 per truth (and a maximum of £8,800).

The team also has a panic button they can press once per show. Only contestants who have yet to attempt a crossing may press the button. Pressing this button automatically guarantees the crossing player a place in the final, but renders any actions taken after the button is pressed null and void.

Any contestants that complete a crossing or are saved by their team's panic button then play the Final Crossing.

Final Crossing

This round is played by the remaining contestants, who are allowed to confer. Before this round begins, the team can buy back eliminated contestants for half of their prize fund, or sell a contestant, eliminating them to double the prize fund. Eliminated contestants may not confer with the rest of the team during the final.

The final crossing presents contestants with six sets of statements across a row on the floor, which are general knowledge rather than corresponding to a category. Only one of the statements in each set is true. Picking a true statement progresses the game, while picking a lie results in a contestant's elimination. If a contestant is eliminated, the next player continues at the same point as the eliminated contestant. Play continues until either the team crosses the bridge, winning the prize, or the entire team is eliminated, leaving with nothing.
