The show, already broadcasting in 24 territories, will be produced by South Shore Productions and filmed at the Dutch hub. The UK version is scheduled to premiere next year.
In the UK version of The Floor, 81 quiz fanatics face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into eighty-one equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent’s square. Categories range from ‘famous athletes’ to ‘Hollywood actors’ and from ‘iconic buildings’ to ‘mammals’. Some questions are visually supported by photographs, others by sound, while other duels focus on open questions, multiple choice and association. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent’s square, gaining more ground – the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the higher the stakes. “After ten episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor and take home the impressive cash prize?”
