Action
All the contestants find themselves on the bus to the estate. The windows are blacked out, and towards the end of the two hour trip, a video screen comes to life at the front of the bus.
"Welcome, my first contestants, to my game! Many of you have only the vaguest notion of what you will face behind my doors, but I'm sure you know this already. Whatever you wish, if I can provide it, I will. I can make your dreams come true, and all you have to do is come and ask me in person. But a few things you should now -
First, only one of you will attempt this task at a time. Trailers have been set up for the rest of you with all the amenities, and you will wait at the entrance to the property until it is your time to enter. You will be provided with running footage of the person who is taking his turn at the gauntlet. Use this information to your advantage in your own run.
Second, only ONE person will get the chance to ask. Once the first contestant has reached me, the game is over.
Thus, there is a benefit to going early, and a benefit to waiting.
As you are no doubt aware, you have 14 hours to complete the challenge. If you run out of time, you will be disqualified.
If at any time you either leave the property, become trapped or incapacitated so that there is obviously no way for you to continue, or are shown to be breaking any rules I have explicitly informed you of upon entrance, you will be disqualified.
If you sustain serious injury while playing and require a medical evacuation, you will be disqualified.
If you are at any time disqualified, you will be escorted from the game area and sent home.
If, god-forbid, you suffer a life threatening injury, we will arrange to cover all the costs of your burial and will pay out a decent condolence package to your family for their loss. Hopefully, this doesn't happen - but we don't underestimate the potential of human stupidity.
Also, do be aware that anything within the fence line of my property lies outside the jurisdiction of the United States. What I say goes."
With that, the man fades from the screen, and the door on the bus shudders open, and the windows clear so the grand walled estate can be easily seen.
"Welcome to my world. Who would like to be the first to step inside?"
The voice lingers in the air as the passengers get there stuff together and step from the bus. They are greeted by a small army of security officers, and the one who appears to be heading the operation approaches.
"Welcome, contestants! I know you're probably exhausted from your bus trip, but the boss wants to get things underway right away. Do we have any volunteers for being the first person to go inside? If not, we'll pick someone randomly. As for the rest of you, your four trailers are over there." He points his thumb at some luxurious looking trailers, and then waits for a response from the crowd.
