The man who helped reinvent the game show at ABC is looking to do it again.

Former "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" executive producer Michael Davies is behind "The Exit List", which ABC has ordered to pilot.



"The Exit List" follows contestants as they travel through a massive maze, answering multiple-choice questions along the way. The maze consists of rooms filled with money — and the further in they go, the bigger the prize.

But contestants have to find their way out by remembering what they learned.



Sony Pictures TV is producing the project with Davies' Embassy Row company. The show is partially based on a Dutch format created by David Grifhorst.

At least one other country is at work on its own version of "The Exit List".
