Framework

The Escalating Challenge Cliffhanger

Two parties engage in a competitive 'bid-down' to set the parameters of a difficult skill-based challenge. One accepts the challenge, raises the stakes by including an audience reward, and then attempts the challenge, with the video ending before the final outcome is revealed to maximize engagement.
