A new South Korean reality show is now airing on Netflix and it promises to be unlike the other shows we've already seen. If you haven't started watching, it's best you understand the games in The Devil's Plan so you know how the show works.
Unlike Single's Inferno and Physical:100, The Devil's Plan is a game show that doesn't rely on a person's appearance or test his strength. Instead, the show tests each contestant's ability to strategize, stay calm under pressure, and socialize with other people.
In the end, only one winner will take home the grand prize of 500,000,000 won. But how can they play the game? Here's how.
How The Devil's Plan Works
The Devil's Plan is a game show that not only tests a person's ability to strategize and pass challenges, but it also tests their ability to outsmart their rivals.
Since the whole game takes place in just a week's time, tensions are expected to rise. Not to mention, since the contestants all live in one house throughout this period, it will truly be a test of their capabilities.
The game will see the contestants establish alliances that can later help them pass the challenges.
The Devil's Plan Explained
The contestants will be facing a couple of games every day: a Main Match in the afternoon and a Prize Match in the evening. Every single contestant will be competing in the Main Match. This is also when contestants can win or lose Pieces.
When the Main Match is over, the two players with the lowest number of Pieces will be imprisoned. If there are three or more players tied for this spot, the contestant with the most number of Pieces can choose the two players who will be imprisoned.
Once the contestant is in jail, he cannot participate in that day's Prize Match. They will also remain in jail until it's time for the next day's Main Match.
On the other hand, the Prize Match is a shared mission requiring all contestants to play together to win. This is also the game they need to play to accumulate money in the final prize pool.
At the start of the game, each contestant is given one Piece. The objective of every contestant is to collect as many "Pieces" as he can so he can stay in the game. If the contestant loses all of his Pieces, he will be thrown out of the game right away.
The Piece also serves as currency they can use to buy advantages. They can also use these Pieces to bribe other contestants.
But at the end of the game, the contestants are advised not to resort to violence or theft.
The person holding the most number of Pieces gets to win the prize money.
