In this new game show, which lists Ashton Kutcher as an executive producer, people will have the chance to win money by performing a series of tasks. This involves them going out into the public on camera and trying to get people to help them out. Since the passersby don’t realize they’re on camera, and the contestant isn’t allowed to tell them that what they’re doing is for a game show, getting people to participate in these ridiculous tasks looks to be a real challenge. If the contestant can get their tasks completed in the time allotted to them, they win $50k.

Here’s CBS’ official description for the series:

“GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD is a hidden-camera game show where ordinary people must perform extraordinary tasks on an unsuspecting public to win up to $50,000. Each contestant wears an ear piece and is instructed by the host in the studio to perform five outrageous, embarrassing and hilarious tasks worth $5,000 each. In a no-holds-barred bonus round, each contestant has the chance to double their money up to $50,000.”

Below are a few video clips that do a great job of illustrating exactly what kinds of tasks these people are being asked to complete.
