Talpa Studios brings The Quiz with Balls to Argentina
Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: “This format was a breakout surprise hit for SBS6 in the Netherlands in 2023, and in the USA it was FOX’s most-watched non-scripted show this past summer. After Germany, Spain and the USA, the show continues to travel. We are excited for Argentinian viewers to experience this dynamic and engaging show.”
Martín Kweller, CEO & Chairman of Kuarzo Entertainment: “We are honored to be the first production hub in America for such an innovative format as The Quiz with Balls. Our Argentinian production hub has already proven its versatility and success with the recording of both the Uruguayan and Argentinian versions of the hit show The Floor. Our strategic partnership with Talpa Studios, one of the leading global format creators, began with the success of The Floor and continues to strengthen our commitment to creativity and excellence in the entertainment industry. We are thrilled to bring this exciting format to Canal 13 and confident it will captivate the Argentine audience with its energy, dynamism, and originality.”
About the show
This fun game show features five contestants standing on a high platform over a swimming pool, ten exciting quiz questions and six giant balls. In each episode, a team of five friends, family members or colleagues, competes for a cash prize by answering one quiz question after another. For each question, each team member chooses one of six answer options. The answer options are linked to the balls, which start to roll when all answers are given. If a player stands on a correct answer, the ball stops just in time. If not, the ball will mercilessly knock the player into the pool. Each question has as many correct answers as the number of players left on the platform. In the case of question 1, that means five correct answers and one wrong answer. With each player falling into the pool, a wrong answer is added to the six answer options of the next question. For each team, the key is to stay as complete as possible for as long as possible since the tenth and final question is worth a huge cash prize.
