History Series / RaidTheCage

* RunningIntoTheWindow: An occasional fate for those who don't escape in time. At least one contestant did this in the U.S. premiere.

The U.S. adaptation uses a considerably different format: instead of a solo pair, the game is played between two teams in three rounds. The contestant is given eleven possible answers in a category, and must match them up with ten clues in 45 seconds--earning time (3, 5, or 7 seconds depending on the round) in the cage for each correct answer. After three rounds, the team that collected the largest cash value of prizes wins whatever they retrieved, and advances to a final BonusRound to "beat the cage".

* WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire: The international format plays it straight, with a time ladder, multiple-choice questions, and {{Lifelines}} for switching out questions or swapping player roles. The U.S. CBS version swapped this out for an AdaptationDistillation with two teams competing to collect the most prizes in three rounds, and using a more unique question format.

The series first premiered in 2013 in Israel; it is a notable LongRunner as a daily series in several Latin American countries (such as Mexico, whose version has aired since 2015), under the title ''Escape perfecto''. In 2016, NBC ordered a pilot for a U.S. version, ''Perfect Escape'', with Creator/SarahMichelleGellar and Creator/LeslieMann as hosts, but it was not picked up. An American version (filmed from the studio of the Mexican version) would ultimately premiere on Creator/{{CBS}} in October 2023 as ''Raid the Cage'', with Creator/DamonWayansJr and [[Series/HoleyMoley Jeannie]] [[Series/TheReal Mai]] as hosts. Wayans also serves as a co-executive producer.

'''''Raid the Cage''' is an Israeli GameShow format that first premiered in 2013. The series features two-person teams of contestants, who answer questions to earn time in the titular "cage"--a room that is filled with prizes that they can collect. Some of them can be easily carried out, but some are a lot heavier or need to be pushed out (such as vehicles), and higher-valued prizes often require the completion of physical puzzles and stunts to unlock.
