Format

The program consists of two teams (blue and orange) of three people, where the captain is the participant, who is accompanied by two famous guests. During the first stage of the chapter, the teams compete in different games whose objective is the sum of seconds for the final game, called "the rosco". In the latter only the captains play, who compete for the jackpot. The winner of the chapter that does not complete "the rosco" will be able to continue participating in the next one.
