Bradley Walsh The Chase
In this game, four strangers work together as a team to answer general knowledge questions on this quiz show. They have their opponent The Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius tasked with stopping the contestants from winning money, potentially thousands of pounds.
The contestants take turns answering quick-fire questions in a limited set of time in order to build up the team’s pot. Each contestant then goes one-on-one against The Chaser. The Chaser flows the contestant down a game board.
If the contestant pulls off without being caught, the money he or she earned is added to the team’s pot. However, if a contestant is caught (by answering questions incorrectly), the contestant is out of the game and no money is added to the team’s pot. The finals feature the remaining contestants in another quick-fire round in which each correct answer gets them closer to the finish line. If The Chaser catches all the contestants, they get nothing. If any contestants remain at the end of the game, they share the team’s money.
