help The Mole FAQ
How are players eliminated on The Mole?
Contestants take a quiz about the hidden saboteur’s identity and actions. The lowest-scoring player is eliminated, so earning money in missions does not protect someone who has misidentified the Mole.
Can the Mole actually win the prize money?
No. The Mole is a production-selected saboteur whose job is to reduce the group’s pot while avoiding detection, while the winning genuine contestant receives the final pot.
What is an exemption on The Mole?
An exemption lets a contestant survive the next quiz regardless of their answers. Missions frequently force players to choose between increasing the shared prize pot and pursuing that individual safety.
Are the ABC and Netflix versions of The Mole connected?
They use the same core format of missions, sabotage, quizzes, and executions. ABC launched the American version in 2001, and Netflix revived it in 2022 with a new cast and presentation.
