In each episode, members of the four-person team will strive to accomplish various challenges, such as Don't Laugh, Don't Blink or Don't Look Back, as they work together to build their bank.

I'm very excited to be the host of ABC's new game show Don't,' said Adam Scott. As a fan of both games' and shows,' I feel we may be onto something here.
