What’s new on Netflix

What is run for money about?

It’s a Japanese game show that has aired as a special on Fuji TV since 2004. New episodes, known in Japanese as “Run for Money “, usually air every two months. At the time of writing, the latest new episode aired on January 5, 2014, with a total of 34 episodes, and all episodes will be broadcast in 32 volumes on DVD, also spawned a short-lived US version on China channel and Run for Time on China’s Hunan TV.

At the beginning of each game, competitors are allowed to run through a designated game area and must stay within that area for the duration of the game. Then, the program unleashes “hunters” into the area, paid agents for the sole purpose of hunting and tagging contestants. If a hunter tags a player, that player is eliminated from the game. If they look away for a few seconds, they give up the chase. Note that sailing around the pillar does not break their line of sight long enough to stop. Games typically last between 90 and 120 minutes. In some cases, additional resurrection missions are included where the main game stops, and the eliminated participant can play a mini-game and rejoin the game.

Run for the Money has been a “real-life tag” game show popular among people of all ages in Japan for 18 years since it originally aired on Fuji TV in 2004. This famous show, inspired by “onigokko,” the traditional Japanese game of tag, packs in as many thrills as possible and has set the benchmark for survival game shows in Japan. It won Best Game or Quiz Programme at the Asian Television Awards in 2009, and it was nominated for Non-scripted Entertainment at the International Emmy Awards in 2010. After being televised in Japan and numerous other Asian nations, the series became a smash hit.
