Format
Fourteen contestants reside together in a luxurious lakeside estate known as "The Stag," located at Château Okanagan in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.[3] On the first day, each player opens a box — one contains $1,000,000. The contestant who finds it becomes the "Millionaire" and must conceal their identity for the duration of the game.[4]
The remaining contestants aim to determine who is secretly holding the prize money. At the end of each episode, players vote out the person they most suspect. If the Millionaire is eliminated, the money is re-hidden in a new box and the game continues.[5]
Contestants
The cast of Million Dollar Secret features fourteen contestants from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s. Each contestant brings a unique approach to the game, shaped by their real-world experiences — from law enforcement and education to hospitality and entrepreneurship. While only one player begins the game as the secret Millionaire, all contestants are tasked with navigating trust, deception, and psychological strategy to either protect or uncover the truth.[6]

- Notes
- A new Millionaire was selected after the previous Millionaire's elimination.
- The Millionaire changed because the Move the Money advantage was used by a Millionaire or a Guest.
- The Millionaire won the Kill Shot, meaning their vote was the only vote that counts at this Elimination Dinner.
- The Millionaire won the Double Deadly Shot, which means that all votes were canceled and his votes were the only ones that counted in this Elimination Dinner.
