Unlike Millionaire and any of the googolplex of spin off trivia shows, MDMG requires more thought rather than knowledge. You can play right along at home, trying to twist your brain around the riddles posed and not get trapped in the box of prior guesses. When you hear the right answer you did not get, the temptation is strong to kick yourself, since there is no superhuman genius required to get the answer, only lateral thinking.Layered atop the awesome brainteasers are the more conventional game show rules that make for good drama and escalating tension. All in all, MDMG is the only game show on these days that is worth watching.
