How Much To...?
A group of strangers are pitted against one another in Matt Shaw's latest extreme horror.
The Game is simple. Each of the contestants are asked a question: how much to complete a certain task? They then have two minutes to name a price but if they go too high and their fellow contestants are cheaper, they have just priced themselves out of the game. The trick is to go high enough to win a good amount of money but low enough to ensure you are the winner. By the end of the bidding war, the person who is the cheapest contestant has to then go through, one by one, completing the tasks. No backing out allowed now...
But who is running this game? And more to the point - why?!
How Much 2
Having taken over the running of the "games", Nate thought he had a way of beating the system which meant the audience got the blood they were looking for, the people needing the money had a chance of winning it without hurting themselves, and the heads of the show were still getting the viewing figures they longed for. Nate was wrong.
Now Nate finds himself forced to play a new, darker version of "The Game" for the pleasure of those watching at home.
