Clueless^[1] (Polish: Gra w ciemno, lit. "playing in the dark") was a Polish game show hosted by Krzysztof Ibisz that ran from 2005 to 2007 on Polsat.

Gameplay

Envelopes

At the beginning of the game, the player picked several envelopes from 50. At first, it was 10, then changed to 8, and lastly, 5. Each envelope had a check with the smallest being -100%, which, if you took, would make you end with 0, and the highest 100,000 zl. These were the scattered amounts found in the 50 envelopes.

Questions

After picking the envelopes, the player was asked a question, in which after asked, he/she would pick an envelope to play for. Then, he/she would be shown 4 answers, one which was right. If the player answered correctly, the envelope would be his/hers. If not, he/she would have to ruin the envelope by shredding it in the "paper shredder", or in Polish, "niszczarka".

Bidding

After the questions, if the player won at least one envelope, the bidding would begin. The host would offer an amount for one or more envelopes. The player could disagree and post a higher amount, but the host had to approve in order for the player to receive that amount. If the player disagreed with the host and the host would not put a higher amount, then the player would take the envelope. Also, he could trade it for the envelopes that the host already bought from him/her. If the player got a -100%, he would lose the game and end with 0. If he/she got -50%, then the player would walk out with half of what he has.

Winning money

A player could leave with nothing if:

• he/she kept an envelope with -100%
• he/she took one envelope containing -50% or -100%
• he/she took one envelope containing 0 or all envelopes containing 0
• he/she does not answer any of the questions correctly

Incidents

A woman picked 5 envelopes with 100,000 zl in each one of them, but sold them all for 12,000 zl. The host gave her a reward for that, which was 20,000 zl. In all, she won 32,000 zl. This was the only time somebody picked these envelopes.

The most money ever won was 108,000 zl by a woman.

The least you could win is 6 zl and 25 gr, having 5 envelopes, a 100 and 4 -50%, and the highest is 500,000, each envelope containing 100,000.
