A different version of the franchise entitled Minute to Win It - Last Man Standing debuted on July 18, 2016 on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block. The second season of Last Man Standing premiered on January 7, 2019.

It is the one of the few editions among the rest of the international editions that does not use its national language (Filipino in this case for the Philippines) on its title. Rather, English was chosen for the title similar to other Anglophone countries. Other countries used their national language.

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.

At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins ₱75,000 as well as a chance to play in the ultimate challenge with the top prize of ₱500,000. [5] [6]

Head to Head Challenge format

The format is similar with the Junior format with slight tweaks of its mechanics. Two teams with pre-existing relationships play head to head for a point in every challenge. The first team to get four points will automatically wins ₱75,000 and the chance to win the top prize of ₱1,000,000. If ever they failed to complete the jackpot challenge, the team can still play it again since they are given three attempts to win the grand prize. [7] [8]
