Raid The Cage, which is based on an Israeli format, features two teams of two facing off to grab-and-go with prizes from the Cage before their time runs out and the doors close. Correctly answering questions adds seconds to the clock, giving teammates more time to grab prizes from the Cage. After three rounds, the team who banks the highest total dollar value in prizes wins the game, keeps what they have grabbed so far and plays the final round for even bigger prizes including a car.
It is produced by Sony Pictures Television’s Game Show division with Jack Martin serving as executive producer and showrunner. Ves D’Elia and Heath Luman are co-executive producers.
The series ran for four seasons on Israel’s Channel 2 (Reshet) and is distributed globally by Sony Pictures Television’s international sales arm.
It was co-created by Shy Barmeli, a Canadian diamond seller-turned-TV creator, TV host Tal Berman and United Studios of Israel.
