Reality TV

A distant cousin of "The Amazing Race" perhaps? Comic Jimmy Pardo hosts "Race to Escape," a reality competition/psychological game show that rewards timing, teamwork and brainpower to the tune of a $25,000 payday. Each episode features two teams of three battling against each other to solve puzzles and unravel cryptic clues while locked inside separate, identically decorated rooms. Five giant locks in the rooms can be opened only by cracking the code contained in the clues. The teams have one hour to escape and the more the time ticks away, the more the grand prize decreases in value.
