Split Second is a game show that aired in syndication. It is a revival of the Split Second that aired from 1972 to 1975 on ABC.
A slight tweak is made to the Q-and-A section of the game--host Monty Hall poses the question first then presents three elements. All players may ring in but only the first to ring in may select an element and answer first. The others may select a remaining element and answer in the order in which they rang. All who ring in must take one of the elements and correctly answer based on the question. If all three are correct in round one, they each get $10. If two are correct, they each get $25. If only one is correct, he/she gets $50.
Round two is the same, except the answers are worth $25, $50 and $100. The third round is the Countdown Round, which is a handicap. To win the game, the first place contestant must get 4 correct answers. The second place player must get 5 answers, and the third place contestant must get 6 answers. Play continues until one player gets the number of required answers, making that person the winner. The other players keep the money.
The car round in which the winner particpates changed a few times during the show's run. Split Second returned for its third incarnation on Game Show Network in 2023.
