Richard Osman’s House of Games

This is one of the most intelligent quiz shows on television and should definitely be on your list (if it isn’t already, that is!). In this show, each week, a group of four people, usually well-known faces of Britain, come together to participate in the quiz, which is hosted by Richard Osman. The questions are innovative, and often with a twist! This is no ordinary quiz! Just knowing the answer is not enough for the contestants. A bit of innovation is also required to answer correctly, combined with speed! Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it? They play all week, and at the end of the week, the scores are tallied, and the person who has acquired the most points over the past week wins! Give it a go, and you will not be able to stop watching!

Pointless

Another very interesting show that you can consider watching is Pointless! Hosted by Alexander Armstrong, this show is extremely interesting and tricky. The agenda of the contestants is that they don’t have to just answer the question, but answer the question which is least likely to be answered by other audiences, that is the most obscure answer of the lot! They are quizzed on general knowledge questions, therefore, but with a twist! It is with a fine balance, that contestants must carefully tread and answer! It is one of the most engaging quiz shows ever!

Kaun Banega Crorepati

This is probably one of the most popular shows in India. Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Hindi version of the British television show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Hosted by one of the most famous actors in India, Amitabh Bachchan, the show involves contestants answering general knowledge questions for money. For each question they answer correctly, they get a higher sum of money raised. The quiz show is accompanied by friendly chats between the contestants and the show host. It is one of the most entertaining and engaging shows ever and is enjoyed by people of all ages! 

The Finish Line

Hosted by Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene, this is probably the most nerve-wracking quiz show that you can watch! The Finish Line in the case of this show is very literal. Contestants answer questions at an incredibly rapid pace, to keep their carts moving, and to be the first to reach the finish line. There are 5 contestants and 5 rounds, and they have to keep answering while racing each other. If the answer is wrong, then the cart stops, therefore putting them behind. The contestants therefore have to keep their calm and be extremely prompt in answering questions!

Are you Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

This is another compelling show. Hosted by John Cena, this show has adults answering questions that they learnt during first to fifth grade to win big! This show is extremely entertaining and contains some surprisingly hard questions!
