'The Mole' Season 2 cash prize: 12 contestants and 1 traitor fight it out for ultimate reward
JOHOR, MALAYSIA: In 'The Mole' Season 2, the exact cash prize has not been disclosed yet, but it is likely to be around the amount seen in previous seasons, such as $101,500.
The game starts with twelve contestants, one of whom is secretly the Mole tasked with sabotaging the team's efforts to earn money. Throughout the season, contestants participate in various tasks and challenges to add money to a collective prize pot. The more successful they are, the more money they accumulate.
However, the Mole works covertly to undermine these efforts and reduce the amount added to the pot, aiming to stay undetected. Periodically, the contestants take a multiple-choice quiz about the Mole's identity and actions. The player with the lowest score on each quiz is eliminated from the game. This process continues until only three players remain: two contestants and the Mole.
In the season finale, the remaining contestants take a final quiz about the Mole's identity. The contestant who knows the most about the Mole and scores highest on this quiz wins the entire prize pot, which could be around $100,000 based on previous seasons. The Mole, although integral to the game, is not eligible to win the cash prize.
