Small Fortune is a high-energy, adrenaline-fueled game show from NBC that premiered in 2021. Hosted by Jeff Rechner and co-hosted by comedian Lil Rel Howery, the show features three teams of three people who must use their skills and knowledge to compete in a series of tiny games in order to win a huge cash prize.
The premise of the show is deceptively simple: each team must navigate a series of challenges that are based on everyday items and tasks, but are shrunken down to miniature size. For example, contestants may need to balance a tiny basketball on a miniature hoop, or stack tiny poker chips in a certain pattern. The tasks are designed to be both physically and mentally challenging, requiring a deft touch and a quick mind.
What sets Small Fortune apart from other game shows is the unique format. Each round consists of three separate games, each of which is worth a certain amount of money. If a team successfully completes all three games, they move on to the next round and have a chance to win even more money. However, if they fail to complete even one game, they are eliminated from the competition.
The stakes are high, with teams vying for a grand prize of $250,000. But the pressure doesn't just come from the cash on the line
