Episode Format
| “ | Welcome to Double Dare, where we ask players mind-boggling questions and take on a crazy obstacle course for a chance to win some mind blowing prizes. | ” |
Round 1
| “ | I'm going to ask you a question. You get it right, you get $50. If you don't know the answer or think the other team hasn't got a clue, you can dare them to answer it for double the amount. But be careful- because they can double dare you right back for four times the amount. Then you'll either have to answer the question, or take the physical challenge. | ” |
In Round 1, the two teams first compete in a physical challenge to see who takes control of Round 1. The winning team wins $50 and control of the round. Throughout the round, questions will be asked to the team in control. A team may opt to dare the other team to answer, but the other team then may answer the question or double dare them back, in which the team who got the original question will either have to answer the question or complete a physical challenge. Completing a physical challenge will give you control in the round and $100, while failure to do so will give $200 and control of the round to the opposing team. The end of the round is indicated by the airhorn noises.
Round 2
| “ | Welcome back to Round 2 of Double Dare where everything is worth double the dollars. At the end of this round, the winner gets to keep their bank and move on to the final obstacle course. Now this tossup challenge will determine who gets control in Round 2. | ” |
In Round 2, the two teams will again compete in a physical challenge to see who takes control of Round 2. The winning team wins $100 and control of the round. The questions and physical challenges follow the same format as Round 1, but with double the amount of money to win. The end of the round is indicated once again by the airhorn noises. The team who has the most money is declared the winner, gets to keep their bank, and moves on to the infamous Double Dare Obstacle Course.
Obstacle Course
| “ | Now it's time to take on the legendary obstacle course. Now, you'll switch off at each obstacle - all eight of them. Grab the flag at each obstacle and earn an incredible prize. | ” |
In the Double Dare Obstacle Course, the team who won will try to complete an 8-obstacle course within 60 seconds to win a prize for each completed obstacle. There are a variety of obstacles used for the first 7 obstacles, with the eighth obstacle always being Mount St. Double Dare.
