The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Wer wird Millionär? is a German game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. It is shown on RTL on Mondays and Fridays at 20:15 (CET/CEST). It is hosted by Günther Jauch. The show has broadcast continuously since 3 September 1999 and is one of the longest running versions of Millionaire worldwide. The main goal of the show is to win €1 million (previously 1 million DM) by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. If contestants get the fifth question correct, they will leave with at least €500. If they get the tenth question correct, they will leave with at least €16,000, unless they enabled the fourth 'lifeline' (added in 2007). Contestants from outside Germany are able to participate if they speak German, with contestants from Austria and Switzerland among previous participants. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
