Sometimes different value were hidden behind two goals profits. It was also played with more than three envelopes. In the latter, also cards could find that referred to one of the three gates.

Often was the moderator tips which goal or envelope which was to take, sometimes the candidates money was taken when he meets a certain decision. The voltage of the show did especially the fact that we as viewers never knew if the facilitator to help the candidates or would lead him up the garden path.
