The competition is formatted like a tournament, with participants being eliminated after each quest until only one remains to win the prize money of ₩300 million (equivalent to approximately US$240,000[a]). Each participant has a plaster cast of their torso on set; if they are eliminated after a quest, they have to destroy the cast with a sledgehammer.

The first challenge of the show involved the contestants hanging from a metal frame by their arms for as long as possible. Those who lasted the longest won a "privilege" for the first quest. Kim Min-cheol and Kim Kyeong-bae were the champions of this task, but Kim Min-cheol hung on the longest and gained an advantage for Quest 1.
Quest 1 involved a ball possession game where contestants had to fight against each other. The winner was the person who had the ball when time ran out.
