Melbourne is set to become the backdrop for an exciting new quiz show, ‘The Quiz with Balls’.
This unique game show is a creation of Eureka Productions, known for their work on ‘The Amazing Race’, ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’, ‘Holey Moley’, and ‘Stars from Mars’.
It is being produced for a prominent U.S. television network.
The show will be filmed at Melbourne’s Dockland Studios, with production scheduled from January 30 to February 5. A total of ten episodes are planned.
‘The Quiz with Balls’ introduces an innovative format in the quiz show genre. The game involves five contestants, typically friends, family, or colleagues, participating as a team. They will compete for a substantial cash prize by answering a series of quiz questions.
Each question presents six possible answers. Each answer is connected to a large ball, which rolls into motion once all answers are chosen. If a contestant selects the correct answer, they will be safe as the ball halts in time. However, an incorrect answer means the ball will collide with the contestant, sending them plunging into a swimming pool below.
The show is hosted by a renowned American stand-up comedian, improviser, impressionist, and actor, noted for his roles in major films and TV shows.
Chris Culvenor, Co-CEO of Eureka Productions, praised the show’s innovative design.
“The Quiz With Balls has a simple but genius format mechanic, combining the fun, excitement and scale of a big physical challenge show with the play-along and jeopardy of a high stakes quiz show,” he said. “We are excited to expand our successful relationship with John de Mol and the team at Talpa for another of their brilliantly original, breakout formats, which we feel certain U.S. audiences will love.”
The collaboration with Talpa Productions, the company behind the show’s success in the Netherlands, marks another significant partnership for Eureka Productions.
