5. The
ChaseGameplay and Rules:
Cash Builder:
Contestants have 1 minute to build up as much cash as they can by answering quick-fire questions. Each
question is worth £1000.
The Chaser's Offers:
The amount the contestant wins goes onto the board, three steps ahead of the Chaser. Contestants then
have the chance to change their starting position - if they want a bigger head start on the Chaser, they
can start one step closer to home, but the Chaser will offer them a lesser amount of money. This could
even mean a minus amount! Or, if they are feeling brave, they can start a step closer to the Chaser for
which they will be offered a higher amount!
The Chase:
Decision made, every correct answer to multiple choice questions moves the contestant and their money
one step closer to home however, get a question wrong and they stay where they are. The Chaser
answers the same questions and tries to close the gap between them. Make it home safely and they go
through to the Final Chase along with the money they have built up, but get caught and they go out with
nothing.
