Isolation booth

Examples of the former include Twenty-One, Win Ben Stein's Money, 50 Grand Slam, Raise the Roof, The $64,000 Challenge, Scrabble, Whew!, Solitary and Double Dare (the 1976 version entitled as such unrelated to the children's game show).

Further measures may be taken to prevent the occupant from seeing/hearing anything that occurs outside the booth, such as a blindfold or sleep mask, or headphones that play music or are equipped with noise-cancelling technology.

This was a clear plastic device that fitted over the heads of Maxwell Smart and the Chief, intended to let them discuss sensitive issues without being overheard, but which often malfunctioned.

Another variation appeared on the game show Idiot Savants, as the "Cylinder of Shush," a plastic tube lowered over the contestant's head that muffled the host's questions somewhat.

Some schools in the United Kingdom use "isolation booths" as a place of detention, being a small room in which a disruptive child is forced to sit alone and in silence,[1] as part of a policy known as "occupy and ignore".
