Temptation (1967 American game show)

Temptation was an American game show that aired in 1967. It was a short-lived program, notable for its unique gameplay which involved contestants making strategic decisions based on risk and reward. The show's premise centered around a series of choices offered to contestants, each with varying degrees of potential winnings and penalties. The goal was to accumulate the most money by the end of the game.

Unlike many game shows of its era that focused on speed and trivia, Temptation emphasized careful deliberation and calculated gambling. Contestants were presented with various "temptations"—offers of money or the chance to increase their winnings – but often accepting a temptation carried the risk of losing accumulated earnings or facing a deduction. The exact nature of the temptations and the associated risks varied from round to round, adding an element of unpredictability and increasing the tension for both contestants and viewers. The specific rules and scoring system may have varied over the short run of the program.

Little information regarding the show's host, production company, or specific broadcast details is readily available in widely accessible archives. Further research is needed to provide a more comprehensive overview. Specific details concerning episode length, prizes, and the overall popularity of the show remain largely undocumented.
