Hands on buzzers! It’s time to play Claire Hooper’s House of Games. The ABC is thrilled to announce the hilarious new nightly quiz show will premiere Monday, 21 April at 6.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
Hosted by one of Australia’s favourite stand-up comedians Claire Hooper, the play along at home quiz show will see four celebrity players battle it out each week to test their skills in an entertaining series of trivia-based puzzles, riddles and brain teasers.
Host Claire Hooper says: “Well, I’m officially doing my dream job. House of Games, the UK cult favourite quiz show, is now here at the ABC. Monday to Friday, before the news, I, Claire Hooper, will be testing celebrities with a series of ridiculous brain games and laughing when they struggle – in a fun way! Play along at home and work out if you’re smarter than the weekly lineups of my great mates”.
Each Monday to Friday night, four competing celebrities will back it up as Claire dishes out a different mix of head-scratching games all designed to fuel the celebrity players’ competitiveness and test their mental prowess.
Stepping up to the podium is an eclectic mix of famous faces, including Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm, television personality Jamie Durie, celebrity cook Julie Goodwin, ABC presenter favourites Costa Georgiadis and Zan Rowe, actor and performer Eddie Perfect and comedians Lizzy Hoo, Rhys Nicholson, Nazeem Hussain and Geraldine Hickey.
Following a quick-fire round, a nightly winner is declared each episode, awarding them bragging rights and their pick of the kitsch-inspired ‘House of Games’ merchandise. Who wouldn’t want to walk away with their very own ‘must-have’ salad spinner or fun fondue set?
At the end of the week points are then tallied and an overall weekly winner will be crowned champion and awarded the highly coveted ‘House of Games’ trophy.
Fun, witty and full of surprises, Claire Hooper’s House of Games is a limited series game show where the quiz is king, but the game will make you grin.
Production Credits: Commissioned by the ABC. Produced by Endemol Shine Australia. The format, originally created by Remarkable Entertainment, is represented by Banijay Entertainment globally.
