Story Outline:

Dollar & Sense is MediaCorp’s very own brainchild and also Asia’s first investment game show. Hosted by Bryan Wong, the show takes on a quiz cum board game format and introduces various financial concepts and knowledge through an interesting and entertaining game. Each episode will be thematic and there are three themes altogether – property, foreign exchange and equity.

1) Segment 1 – Intro to Initial Capital and Assets
Four contestants will each receive an initial capital. Four assets (for example: a three-room HDB flat, a five-room HDB flat, a condominium unit and a semi-detached house) will be featured in each episode for purchase and sale in the game.

2) Segment 2 – Round 1
Question & Answer
There will be a total of three rounds in the game. Before each round starts, one question will be asked and has to be answered within 30 seconds. The points awarded for correct answers will be converted to an intermediate income (to a maximum of $300,000). The faster they answer the question, the more income they earn. For every second wasted, the ‘income’ will be reduced by $10,000 (i.e. if one contestant answers at 25 sec, he will get $250,000). The answers will be explained by a financial expert.

Purchase of Assets
After the questions, each contestant will be given a chance to buy or sell assets at the market price.

Scenario Moves
After buying the assets, the contestants will move into the scenario game board. There are altogether five scenarios (Macro, Micro, Windfall, Chance and Bankrupt) representing the market situation that they will face. Every scenario will affect the value of their assets or cash.

The contestant will activate a digital dice to move on the game board. When a contestant hits a Micro, it will affect his/her assets only. When a contestant hits a Macro, it will affect everyone’s assets. When a contestant hits Windfall, s/he will earn extra income. When a contestant hits Chance, s/he has to decide whether or not to accept the special offer given to him/her. When a contestant hits a Bankrupt, the value of his/her assets will be nullified but s/he will still be able to continue with the game.

3) Segment 3 & 4 – Round 2 & 3
Similar to Round 1. At the end of Round 3, the contestant with the highest asset value will be the winner and will receive S$1000 cash prize. S/he will proceed on to the Bonus Round.

4) Segment 5 – Bonus Round
The winner will have to answer five bonus questions in this round. For every question s/he answers correctly, s/he will get a maximum of 1000 points. Each question must be answered within 10 seconds. The faster s/he answers, the more s/he gets (i.e. if s/he answers at 8 sec, s/he will get 800 points).

The contestant will then spin the currency wheel to determine the currency s/he will receive (i.e. if he hits a Euro, he will get 800 Euro which is about S$2400). The final amount he gets will be his/her ultimate cash prize!

  接着，游戏分为2个部分进行：第一部分：
  1. 游戏分三个回合进行。第一回合开始，参赛者在观看了一段搬演短片之后，必须回答一道问题，以赚取更多奖金。他们必须在30秒内作答，所花的作答时间越多，奖金就越少。例如，过了5秒钟才答对，奖金就会剩下25万元。过后，将有财经专家提供解答。
  2. 接着，参赛者可以选购他们认为当中最可能升值的投资产业，也可以保留现金先不购买。
  3. 跟着参赛者将进行轮盘游戏。轮盘上有5种不同状况（大状况、小状况、横财、机会、破产），代表现实投资环境中可能碰到的状况。
     a) 小状况：只有参赛者本身受影响

  5. 每一位参赛者进行游戏之后，他和其他参赛者的现金数目和产业价值也将根据状况相应调整。
  6. 第二回合和第三回合相同。参赛者回答问题之后，可按当时的市价卖掉手上持有的产业，或动用手上的现金购买产业。
  7. 三个回合之后，现金加资产总额最高的一位，就是优胜者。
