BIG FAMILY QUIZ

(c) NTV

Genre Game Show, Reality
 

The next hit family reality show is here.  Four families compete against each other in mental and physical challenges for a big cash prize.  The catch?  These families are competing from the comfort of their own homes!  For 48 hours, cameras will invade their homes and follow their every move – their living rooms, kitchens and yards are transformed into the stage for this heartfelt yet challenging game show.

The host divvies out the challenges simultaneously to each family via the studio.  Each family member becomes an indispensable member of the team, no matter their age, size or skills.  With high stakes at hand and the pressure of time and teamwork, the cameras capture the emotions at their highs and lows.  The tensions, frustrations, love and support of families is captured in this heart-warming docu-reality.

The show will consist of 4 rounds in each episode:
Round One:  Fast Push Button (The Wake-up Game)
Families are woken in the middle of the night and cannot begin the quiz until all members are accounted for in the designated location to answer questions.  They have to push the buzzer before their competitors in order to answer the questions.  And there is a catch! Families are tested on how well they know each other – Dad is asked how many boyfriends his daughter has had; the kids are asked how their parents met.  These questions provoke emotions and family introspection as truths are revealed amongst each other.

Round Two:  Finders Keepers
All four families remain and carry their scores from the previous round.  Scavenger hunts are played throughout the house, but the trick to winning is how well you know your family members.  The weakest family will be eliminated.

Round Three:  All-Nighter 300 Questions
Three families remain!  Each family is given 300 questions that they must study all night.  One member will be chosen in the morning and must answer random questions from the list. One family will be eliminated at the end of this round.

Round Four:  3-choice Questions
The final round will pit 2 families head-to-head.  This round will consist of straight-forward, general knowledge trivia in multiple choice form.  The team that answers the most questions will be named the winner.

Big Family Quiz is a groundbreaking format that the whole family can play along with.  Combining trivia and stunts with emotional and sincere documentary, Big Family Quiz is guaranteed to be big family fun! Quarrels, tensions, bonds, love…Big Family Quiz transforms ordinary families into unbeatable teams!
