Wiki.

Kymppitonni (colloquialism for "kymmenentuhatta" = "ten-thousand") is a Finnish television and radio game show format, created by Spede Pasanen which has been featured on Finnish networks since 1985. The show was hosted by beauty queen Riitta Väisänen during its first three runs and by Cristal Snow in its current iteration. Pasanen developed the programme specifically in order to promote Väisänen. Väisänen achieved five consecutive Telvis Awards for Best Female Performer, for her appearances on the show between 1986 and 1990.

The TV format is a panel-style program: five Finnish celebrities appear in sound-proof booths and try to guess a word based on a clue from one contestant. The clue giver and the correct guessers are awarded points. The sum of the awarded points decreases the more correct guesses there are. If all or none of the contestants guess the word, the clue giver receives negative points.

The points were supposedly converted into prize money, first in Finnish Marks and, after 2001, in euros - with the highest prize for one guessed word being 1000 marks (later €200). However, in reality the contestants only received a standard performance fee, with a bonus fee for the over-all winner.

The show even had a charity round, during which the contestants donated their prize money to a children hospital.
