To get the main prize, you must survive in ten Huntings, in five of which the participant will be the victim, and in five - the hunter. The rules are as follows: the hunter knows everything about his victim, the victim does not even suspect who her hunter is. She must calculate it and kill before the hunter gets ahead of her. For each Hunt, the winner receives a fee of $ 10,000, and the main prize is a million dollars and universal respect and esteem. But in the entire history of Hunting, only 15 people (three of whom are Chinese ) were able to withstand all 10 Hunting.
