Joker is a quiz show with simple rules and thrilling reversals of fortune. The contestant will be given 10 questions to answer and 7 Jokers to help them. The first rule is no quitting. All 10 questions must be answered. For every correct answer, the contestants will go up one step on the money tree.

 

Jokers can be used to eliminate wrong answers from the multiple choices offered. If they give a wrong answer, the contestant will lose 3 Jokers. After they have run out of Jokers, they will drop down 3 steps on the money tree with each wrong answer. By the end of the 10th question, they will win the money prize wherever they are positioned on the money tree.
