- 1 Season
Inside the Vault is a television show that premiered on WGN in 2011. It's a reality show that takes a unique approach to exploring history, trivia, and pop culture. The show revolves around three contestants who challenge themselves to answer obscure questions related to a variety of disciplines, from history to pop culture to events.
The show is hosted by Jill Wagner, who is well known for her role in Wipeout. Alonzo Bodden, a stand-up comedian, and actor, serves as the show's commentator. Cris Collinsworth, an NBC Sports analyst, acts as the show's "technology expert." The show aims to test its contestants' knowledge of both historical and current events in a challenging and fun way while also highlighting the use of technology in research.
Each episode has three contestants competing against each other in a series of rounds. In the first round, each contestant selects a category, and the show's technology expert shows them a "vault door" with a question on it. The contestants can then choose to answer the question or "pass" it to the next player. If the contestant answers the question correctly, they score points based on the difficulty of the question. If they answer incorrectly, they receive a "strike." Each contestant has three strikes before they are out of the round.
The second round, called the "Quick Vault Round," is similar to the first round, but each question has a specific time limit. The third and final round is called the "Master Vault Round." The round consists of four questions, and each contestant selects one of four categories, with the highest scorer of the first round answering first. The contestant then selects a specific question, with each question having a higher point value than the previous one. This final round can be the deciding factor on who wins and who goes home.
Although the questions in each round vary in difficulty, they provide a great challenge for those who love history and trivia. The show is informative and educational, with questions often leading in new directions and providing a unique perspective on specific events or things.
The show is shot with high quality graphics and visuals, all which can be attributed to the incredible use of technology. The show uses the latest in computer-generated imagery (CGI) and other modern tech tools to present information in a way that is both visually stunning and informative.
In conclusion, Inside the Vault is the perfect show for those who love to test their knowledge and learn more about history and pop culture. With a fun and challenging approach to trivia, viewers will feel engaged and excited, while the show's use of technology provides a unique perspective on each question, leading to new discoveries and greater understanding. The show, hosted by Wagner, and featuring commentary from Bodden and insight from Collinsworth is a must-see for all trivia buffs and history buffs alike.
