Rules of the format[]

The rules did not differ from the original British format.

Each game begins with eight players who just met; they must answer enough questions correctly to reach each round's target of 250,000 Armenian drams within the time limit.

The fastest method was to create a chain of eight correct answers. If a player fails to answer a question by giving a wrong answer, passing, etc., the chain will start over. If a player says "Բանկ" (bank) before their question is asked, the prize money, which increases with each correct answer, is added to the round's bank, and the chain begins again. The final round's prize will be equal to the total amount of money banked in each round.

The first round lasted for 2 and a half minutes; the following rounds were shortened by ten seconds until two players remained. The penultimate round before the final gave the two players one minute and thirty seconds for double the stakes of 500,000 Armenian drams.

The first question is directed to the player whose name appears first in the Armenian alphabet. In the following rounds, the first question is directed to the player who statistically performed the best in the previous round as "the strongest link."

At the end of each round, the team votes to determine who to remove as "the weakest link," which is then revealed by flipping their boards in the following order. The player who holds the majority of votes will be subsequently voted off; if there is a tie, the player who was statistically "the strongest link" that round will cast the final vote in the tiebreaker.

In the final round, the strongest link from the previous round will determine the direction of the first question, and each player will be asked five questions until a winner is determined. If there is a tie, the game moves to a sudden death round, in which contestants are given questions in pairs, and the first to correctly answer a question over their opponent's incorrect answer wins.

On-screen graphics[]

  • The production company for the Armenian version used all of the on-screen graphics provided by BBC Studios Entertainment Productions.

Soundtrack[]

The soundtrack did not differ much from the revival British format.

  • The Armenian version primarily used the modernized soundtrack, with the exception of the original main sting and short sting cues used.
