With world saving prizes up for grabs, the deceptively-simple games on Play It to Save It can take on adrenalin-pumping intensity.
In each episode competitors face 10 one-minute challenges that escalate in difficulty, using everyday household items. Failure to finish results in elimination and the competitor can walk away with the rewards earned up to that point - but it'll take nerves of steel to complete all 10 tasks and Save The Planet.
Host Theresa Green says, "I think this is a fantastic show. It gives everyday people the opportunity to make a difference and they don't have to be a tree surgeon to do it."
"It's just so much fun to play the games and help the environment at the same time, and yes kids, you must try these at home!" Theresa giggles.
In our pilot episode champion contestant, Rob, starts with the game "Coffee Karma" in which he must prise 10 takeaway coffees from the hands of caffeine deprived commuters, transfer each coffee into a mug, without spilling a drop, return the mug of coffee to its owner and deposit all the empty takeaway cups in a recycling bin. He gets bonus points if he convinces the commuters to carry their mugs with them at all times from now on.
It's high tension but Rob successfully completes the first challenge. The crowd cheers. He's just won a wind turbine to be installed on a home in the isolated community of his choice.
Next, Rob easily gets through "Pedal Bobble" in which he must pedal a bicycle hooked up to a generator continuously for one minute to power the studio lighting.
In the final climactic challenge, "H2O Tosser", Rob must toss a water bottle so that it lands upright 1.5 m away -- onto the head of a coca-cola company executive. To make it even more challenging, the executive is balancing on a huge pile of discarded water bottles collected from the beach after a hot Sunday.
The tension is electric as Rob holds his breath and makes the final toss. It's a winner! Rob punches the air and whoops in victory. The audience are up on their feet, waving, clapping and cheering. The camera zooms in on his wife in the audience, hands to her tear-streaked face as the compere shouts above the jubillation.
"Congratulations Roy, you've just saved 1 square kilometre of endangered Rain Forest!!!"
The crowd goes wild.
