In this fresh twist, if players manage to achieve 15 steps or more during the final chase, they can effectively add up to $100,000 to their total. Emdur elaborated that The Chase is now offering layers of tension: “Somebody playing for $30,000 might all of a sudden be playing for $80,000. There’s a lot riding on it.” This elevation in stakes introduces not just exhilaration for contestants, but also pressure on the Chasers.

Celebrating New Heights

But the festivities don’t end with the game changes; Emdur himself has been enjoying a rewarding journey in whisky distillation. He recently celebrated a gold medal win at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for a whisky he crafted in partnership with Corowa Distilling Co. Initially a venture to create 60 bespoke bottles for friends and family as a gift for his upcoming 60th birthday, this project unexpectedly turned into a booming venture, now set to produce 20,000 bottles to meet growing demand.

“So we sent a bottle off to San Francisco to the biggest spirit competition in the world, and most prestigious, and it won gold,” Emdur recalls with pride. This serendipitous success has piqued interest from major retailers in Asia, eager to stock gold medal winners.
