The Floor
The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.

The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game.
