In this game, each of the eight players is secluded inside a box with three switches, and the players have to hit the switch that lights up. When all three switches are lighting, players must duck down to avoid the jolt. However, if the player hits an incorrect switch, or gets shocked by all three switches, the player is eliminated after being shocked. The last player standing wins for his or her team, even if that player's teammate was eliminated.
