Genius Game - Season 1

In this reality gameshow, David Tennant guides eleven players, with exceptional abilities, through a series of mind- bending games.
Our players will need to work together to be successful but there can be only one winner!

In the first ‘Main Match' our players will face Gold Heist - which will challenge them to work together if they want to stay in the game. If they win they will receive a Token of Life and alongside themselves, will get to choose a player to save. But the losing player will go head to head in the ultimate ‘Death Match', choosing their opponent from the remaining players. The loser will be eliminated from the competition. The stakes are high and with the pressure on, who will be able to hold their nerve and sail through to the next round.

Ten players return for another day of brain boggling games. Having earned 15 Garnets between them, there is currently £15,000 in the prize fund.

With the shock of yesterday's first eviction still weighing heavily on everyone's mind, today the players will face the Zombie Game in the ‘Main Match'. The aim of the game is to turn the humans into zombies but who will be able to outwit their opponents to navigate their way through the Zombie apocalypse and be triumphant?

Cracks start to appear as the pressure of the game causes alliances to break down as the players work out who they can trust and who they should avoid.

With the pressure now on, which players will find themselves facing the ‘Death Match' game of Hidden Noughts and Crosses?

Having said goodbye to another player, nine return for their third Main Match and compete to try to crack a 10-letter code word in Codebreakers. One player becomes the Undercover Agent and it's their job to protect the word and stop the other players from working it out.

The competition continues with Lights Off as players desperately try to avoid the Black Block in order to stay out of the Death Match, but tensions rise and tempers flare as players deceive to survive. When the Death Match then takes a surprising turn, which player's time will be up?

Seven players are left standing as they take on the next Main Match - Safari Race - and try to back the winning animals in a race.

The players return for their sixth Main Match - and their first team game - as they aim to win as a team but stay safe as individuals.

With only five players remaining, there is everything to play for in a Main Match where the winner will get a place in the final.

The finalists go head-to-head in a best-of-three Death Match format, but only one player can be victorious by winning two games.
