Who can you really trust with half a million euros at stake?

In this strategic and psychological reality game, 13 celebrity contestants fight for a jackpot of half a million euros. In each episode, one of them must leave. Who? The group decides. Living together 24/7 under relentless pressure, the players face a different voting system in each episode. Only if they succeed in nominating one contestant to face the elimination challenge, does the jackpot remain intact. But if they fail, 50,000 euro vanishes instantly – and suddenly, the entire group is in danger….

Drag to explore

The chosen celebrity faces the elimination challenge: nerve-wracking, high-stakes, and never the same twice. Fail, and you’re out. Succeed, and you decide which other player gets eliminated.

In Damocles’ Room, players spill their true thoughts, frustrations and strategies. The viewer sees everything: the lies, the doubts, the shifting alliances.

Across ten episodes, they are drawn into a nerve-racking battle of tactics, hidden agendas and social pressure. In the final, the two remaining players battle it out for what’s left of the jackpot.

In The sword of Damocles, trust is risky – and distrust can be just as dangerous. Who can you really trust with half a million euros at stake?
