It involves eleven contestants come from different parts of the U.S., aged between 16 and 24 years, what will be played and a prize of $50,000, with the only weapons their mobile phones.
Candidates must pass three tests: writing a SMS blindfolded, another with his hands behind his back and one last called "bombing", which will play a message that will see a few seconds before displaying the next.
In this issue there will be a playoff round against bullying as part of a campaign launched jointly by LG and the TV channel Cartoon Network, urging the public to send an SMS to show their commitment to this cause.
