Format

Original format

Minute to Win It follows the format of the original American game show wherein a contestant is presented with a blueprint for each level to complete within a 60-second time limit. After successfully completing the first, fifth, and eighth level games, the contestant is guaranteed to leave with no less than the cash award for those levels.

The difficulty of the blueprints progressively increases as a contestant advances to a higher level. If time runs out or the conditions of the game cannot be fulfilled (such as by the contestant exhausting any allotted attempts or committing a foul), the contestant loses a "life". If the contestant loses all three of their "lives", the game ends and the contestant's winnings drop to their guaranteed safe level.

After successfully completing a level, the contestant can leave with the amount of money already won before seeing the blueprint for the next game. However, once the contestant chooses to go to the next level, they must complete the level or exhaust all of their three lives.

This format has been used in Teen Challenge, Ateneo vs La Salle, and other special episodes.
