Polé Chudes (Russian: По́ле Чуде́с, literally "The Field of Wonders", referencing Aleksei Tolstoy's story The Golden Key) is a Russian adaptation of the U.S. game show Wheel of Fortune produced by VID, and hosted by Leonid Yakubovich Current rating of the show suggests it is intended for ages 16 and above.
Three contestants at a time compete by spinning a "drum" to determine a value or event, and then by guessing letters concealed in a puzzle to earn points. Unlike the U.S. version, all of the puzzles in a show revolve around a specific theme, and the puzzle is an answer to a question given beforehand as an additional clue.
If a player manages to guess three different letters in a streak (and during one turn), they can earn a permanent cash bonus by picking one of two boxes presented to the player. 0 and bankrupt does not break the streak.
Special spaces on the wheel include;
A player may attempt to solve the puzzle during his or her turn either before spinning the wheel or while may call a letter. If player correctly solves the puzzle at the time while he could call a letter, he or she receives the highest point value on the wheel for each instance of the un-revealed letter. The word must be read as shown, and correctly pronounced (though some variations in pronunciation are accepted).
Each one of the first three rounds uses a fresh set of 3 players, and players are removed from the game if they solve the puzzle incorrectly, or if they accept a prize. If one player remains in a round, the player does not automatically advance to the final, but is allowed up to 3 additional turns to attempt to solve the puzzle.
The final round is played by the winners of the three preceding rounds using the same rules. The winner of the final becomes the winner of the show and can then use the points earned to buy prizes. The points aren't shown during the game.
However, a player can also choose to participate in an additional bonus round, "Супер Игра" (the "Super Game"). In this bonus round, prizes are placed on the wheel, and the player spins to determine the prize they will play for. Then, a puzzle is presented, and the player says a number of letters to be revealed (if they exist) in the puzzle. The player then has 1 minute to solve the puzzle. If the player correctly solves the Super Game puzzle, the prize is won. Failure in the Super Game means that the player loses all of the prizes that they purchased.
