Show Overview: MUGEN LOOP (ENG:Infinite Loop) – The Ultimate Survival Money Game
Six challengers are locked in a confined space, facing a series of high-stakes missions in a battle to win the ultimate cash prize. The contestants move through endlessly connected rooms, identical in color and shape. As long as they keep succeeding in the missions, they can accumulate an unlimited amount of prize money. However, failure comes at a cost—one contestant must be voted out.
Only one person will claim the total winnings! Beyond the intense missions, the psychological warfare of deciding who gets eliminated adds another thrilling layer to the show.
Sometimes allies, sometimes rivals—who will outlast the rest and walk away with the fortune? Get ready for an unpredictable, mind-bending survival money game like never before!
