About The Floor
In The Floor, 100 quiz fanatics face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into one hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent’s square. Categories range from ‘famous athletes’ to ‘Hollywood actors’ and from ‘iconic buildings’ to ‘mammals’. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent’s square – the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the higher the stakes. After eight episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor, winning 100.000 euros?
