TV Show Concept

La Poule aux œufs d'or is back to TVA for a 19^th season!

A game that's simple yet so much fun!

The program consists of three rounds, each of which involves two (2) contestants. Each round includes the "Spinning Wheels" game ("jeu des Roulettes"), the "Doors" game ("jeu des Portes") and "the Egg or the Envelope" game ("jeu de L'œuf ou l'enveloppe"). The show is hosted by Guy Mongrain, along with co-hosts Claudia Ébacher and Julie Houle.

The "Spinning Wheels" Game

To play this game, each of the 2 contestants spins 3 wheels divided into segments numbered 0 to 9. The 6 numbers thus obtained form a winning decomposable number for players watching from home.

A contestant who obtains two (2) identical numbers (a double) or three (3) identical numbers (a triple) will get to take part in the golden egg of a game, "Génér-Œufs". That new game uses an electronic wheel presented on a touch screen. In the case of a double, the contestant spins the wheel one time and wins the corresponding prize. In the case of a triple, the contestant spins the wheel twice and gets to keep the most valuable of the two prizes!

The "Doors" Game

To play this game, each of the 2 contestants uses a screen showing symbols for 10 doors numbered 0 to 9. Each door conceals either a cash prize or an egg. The object of the game is to be the first person to reveal 3 eggs. In the first step, each contestant opens the doors of the game board matching the numbers selected during the "Spinning Wheels" game. Then, each contestant takes a turn opening one more door until a full round has been completed. The sums of money collected by each contestant constitute their individual prizes. The first contestant to reveal the 3 eggs after a round has been completed goes on to play "The Egg or the Envelope" game. The other contestant leaves with the prize money accumulated during the "Doors" game, receiving an additional $1,000 per egg uncovered.

In the case of a tie, the screens will be reset. Six egg symbols will appear on each contestant's screen. Numbers 1 to 6 will be randomly hidden behind each egg. One after the other, each contestant will touch the screen to reveal the number behind the chosen egg. The contestant who gets the highest number is declared the winner, leaving the other contestant to be the finalist. If the two players uncover an identical number, they will then choose a new egg (and number) until the tie is broken. The finalist from the doors game follows the winner to the "The Egg or the Envelope" game and leaves with whatever prize the winner rejects.

"The Egg or the Envelope" Game

The contestant first chooses the number of an egg (from 1 to 24) and an envelope from the egg cup. The egg contains either a cash prize or the jackpot. The contestant must choose between the amount enclosed in the envelope or the prize hidden in the egg. The contestant leaves with the amount obtained during this game together with that obtained during the "Doors" game. This year, "Carte-cadeau" envelopes containing gift certificates will be hidden in the egg cup.

The cock’s crow

The cock will crow 1 time out of every 5. When that happens, the contestant selects a second egg. At this point, the contestant must then decide to either take the prize in the envelope or the one in the first egg (value unknown). If the contestant chooses the first egg, another choice must be made between the prize from the first egg and that from the second egg (value also unknown). At the end of each round, no matter the contestant's choice, the two eggs will be opened to reveal their value.
