Awake: The Million Dollar Game - Season 1

Everyone risks a headache in a brain freeze challenge before trying to quickly thread needles and break balloons filled with cash.

Group chanting keeps morale high till contestants start smashing eggs and playing with nails. One shows off his front splits; another, his air squats.

When players try to identify animal noises, hallucinations kick in. They recover their wits long enough for a tricky coordination challenge.

Exhaustion claims two early victims. The rest test their reflexes with screwdrivers and water glasses while host James Davis giggles on the sidelines.

Contestants get jiggy and show off their moves. A staring contest preps them for an alarm-clock-smacking challenge -- on a bed, of course.

Sleepy antics hit a high note when players must scream for their money. Still hoarse, they confront rattraps and bravely go for the cheese.

After 24 hours of counting quarters, players test their coordination by diving for sand dollars, balancing coins and snapping lightning-fast selfies.

Contestants totter through a maze while balancing eggs on poles. What could go wrong? Also on the menu: table games with cards and quarters.
