Watch Outsmarted

Outsmarted was a 2017 show from BuzzFeed Originals where contestants were challenged to complete a variety of puzzles and brain teasers in order to win a cash prize. The show was hosted by actor and comedian Jinkx Monsoon and each episode featured three contestants who competed against each other in three rounds of challenges.

In the first round, called "The Game Plan," each contestant was given a briefcase with a series of puzzles and riddles inside. They had five minutes to solve as many puzzles as they could, with each correct answer earning them points. The contestant with the fewest points at the end of the round was eliminated.

In the second round, called "The Game Board," the two remaining contestants faced off in a game board-type challenge. They took turns spinning a wheel that landed on different categories, such as history, science, and sport. The contestant had to correctly answer a question from that category to earn points and move their game piece across the board. The first contestant to reach the end of the board won the round and advanced to the final challenge.

In the final round, called "The Game Changer," the remaining contestant was given a series of challenges that were designed to test their ability to think on their feet and adapt to unexpected situations. For example, they might be given a set of instructions for a task, only to have those instructions change halfway through. The contestant had to stay focused and adapt quickly to the changes in order to win the round and the grand prize.

One of the unique aspects of Outsmarted was its approach to challenges. Rather than relying on traditional trivia questions, the challenges required a combination of critical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity. For example, one challenge asked contestants to create a new dance move based on a series of prompts, while another challenge required contestants to use logic and deduction to solve a complex series of clues.

Overall, Outsmarted was a fast-paced and engaging game show that kept viewers on the edge of their seats. With its creative challenges and dynamic host, the show was a hit with audiences and provided a fresh take on the popular game show format.
