The Wall is a game show that premiered on NBC in 2016. It is hosted by Chris Hardwick, and the show features two-person teams competing for a cash prize on a giant wall. The teams consist of family members or friends, and they are chosen based on their unique and heartwarming stories.

The game starts with a qualification round that includes a trivia quiz. The players have to answer questions correctly to earn balls of different colors. Each color ball has a different value: green balls are worth $1,000, and red balls are worth $10,000. The team members take turns answering questions and choosing the location where they want to drop the ball. The ball hits pins on the way down the wall, and wherever it lands determines the total cash prize for that round.

The main attraction of the show is the wall itself. It's a massive structure that stands at 40 feet tall and 12 feet wide. The wall has several slots where the balls can land, each with a different cash value. Some slots also contain a 'Free Fall' hole that adds a bonus to the team's final score.

Another unique aspect of the show is the presence of a third person, known as 'the military hero.' The hero is a member of the United States military, and he or she is stationed in a soundproof booth, with no connection to the outside world. The hero is shown a video clip of each round, and he or she is then given the opportunity to answer one question. If the hero answers correctly, the team receives an additional ball drop.

The Wall has a variety of challenges that test the team members' knowledge, skill, and luck. Some rounds require the players to answer certain questions correctly to win a prize, while others involve pure chance. For example, one round requires the players to choose between two categories, and the location where they drop the ball depends on which category they choose.

Throughout the game, the tension builds as the players accumulate more cash and approach the final round. In the final round, the cash prizes are much higher, and there is only one ball drop. The team members have to work together to strategize and choose the location where they want to drop the ball. If the ball lands in a high-value slot, the team could walk away with a massive cash prize.

Overall, The Wall is an exciting and unpredictable game show that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The combination of trivia questions, random chance, and heartwarming stories makes for a compelling and entertaining experience. The massive wall and the presence of the military hero add to the spectacle of the game, and Chris Hardwick's energetic hosting style keeps the show moving at a brisk pace. Fans of game shows and high-stakes competitions will definitely want to check out The Wall.
