Raid the Cage or Kluv Hazahav, () {Golden Cage} , is an Israeli game show, where couples complete trivia and physical challenges to haul prizes from a gigantic cage before the doors slam shut. The original version aired on Channel 2 (Reshet), and hosted by Avi Kushnir. The show is distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Television International.
Below are the general gameplay rules used in the original version and most international versions of the show. Exact rules and challenges may vary between international versions.
A team of two contestants attempt to win as many prizes as they can from the "cage" containing various prizes. One player plays as an answerer who must answer trivia questions, the other plays as the "grabber", who is tasked with retrieving prizes from the cage.
Each question given to the answerer is a multiple-choice question with four answer choices. Two lifelines are provided to the answerer, each can only be used once:
Correctly answering the question will open the cage's door for a certain amount of time (10 seconds for the first question and increasing by 10 seconds after each question, up to 90 seconds), during which the grabber retrieves prizes from the cage. Some larger prizes may require completing a physical challenge before collecting, which can be accomplished over multiple runs. The grabber must be careful as there are no timekeeping devices to keep track of time, except for a warning towards the end right before the door closes.
Once at least five questions has been answered, the contestants are given the option to end the game prior to seeing the next question, keeping any prizes they have collected up to that point. If an incorrect answer is given or the grabber is trapped in the cage at any point, the game ends and the contestants lose everything.
If the players successfully answer nine questions correctly, they may attempt one final question, in which they may confer. Correctly answering this question awards all the prizes in the cage.
Beginning from the second round, the contestants choose a big prize to play for, and the contestant who enters the cage must complete a physical challenge before being allowed to collect the big prize. Physical challenges take multiple rounds to complete, ongoing challenges can be continued in the next round if the contestant answers the next question correctly. Some great prizes in most versions include a large amount of cash, appliances, trips and vehicles, with the biggest prize usually being a brand-new car.
