• Three preliminary nights on October 6–8 feed a final on October 9, with contestants needing a minimum of €16,000 to qualify for the last stage.
• Finalists can attempt the extended money ladder for up to €3 million by agreeing to forfeit parts of their prior winnings under the special rules.
• This is the ninth edition of the show’s high-stakes special format anchored by longtime host Günther Jauch.
• Recent broadcasts drew attention as Jauch remarked he does not use WhatsApp during a €4,000 question that contestant Julia Zeiher missed, while other moments included Babette Rüster teasing the host before exiting at €8,000 and a contestant named Marc later regretting a wrong call on a €125,000 football question.
