Rainbow Rumble

Rainbow Rumble is a Philippine television game show broadcast by Kapamilya Channel. Hosted by Luis Manzano and Negi, it aired on the network's Yes Weekend line up from July 20, 2024 to March 23, 2025, replacing the fifth season of I Can See Your Voice and was replaced by the seventh season of Pilipinas Got Talent.
Rainbow Rumble aims to test the players' knowledge, strategy, and luck. It is loosely inspired and based on the "Pot Luck" segment of Manzano's previous variety show It's Your Lucky Day, which the two hosts also hosted, during which players had to answer questions placed inside pots to win prizes, and be the first to get three points to win ₱10,000 and a chance to win a showcase. At the jackpot round, the winning contestant must aim to reach the "end of the rainbow" to win a big cash prize.
Each week, a group of five players compete in a pyramid-shaped stage answering trivia questions of varying difficulty on each episode. Their sole goal is to reach the top of the pyramid in order to win cash prizes and the opportunity to win the jackpot prize of ₱1,000,000 by arriving at the "end of the rainbow". The game is divided into two rounds: the elimination round named Rally to the Top, and the jackpot round named Rainbow Reveal.
A group of five players (so-called Rumblers by the show) compete on a 5-tier pyramid-like stage with 15 LED screens displaying varying cash amounts, with each tier having higher amounts than the previous tier. The cash prizes range from ₱1,000 up to ₱25,000. Their objective is to be the first to reach the top of the pyramid and to bank as much money as possible, with ₱70,000 being the highest possible bank. During this round, Rumblers answer trivia questions on a rally board containing 50 questions of varying difficulty and category, randomly placed. In some cases, the questions pertain to the group. The pyramid features tiles that are single-colored (available on the first three tiers), double-colored (first four tiers), and triple-colored (only in the fifth and final tier).
Before the game begins, Luis has the sole option of selecting a number from the rally board. He may additionally give the decision to Negi or the Rumblers, after which he will read the question corresponding to that number. Rumblers must swipe their sensors to answer a question. Correct answers allow them to move one step closer to the pyramid, while incorrect answers give other Rumblers the chance to steal. If the Rumblers believe they know the answer to a question, they can interrupt Luis while he is reading it. However, it is recommended that they have to wait for Luis to finish reading the question in order to fully comprehend its context, and they have three seconds to respond. If a Rumbler answers correctly, they must roll the Die Rolling Machine (DRM) to determine the color of the tile they will step on; additionally, they will have control over the next question on the board.
Depending on the color land on the DRM and each player's stand, three scenarios can occur:
The game continues until a Rumbler successfully reaches the top. To win the round and an additional ₱25,000, they must land on a red, green, or blue tile. If not, they must stay and answer another question correctly, and then land on one of the winning colors. At the end of the round, all Rumblers keep the money they saved throughout the game. Only the Rally to the Top winner can bank the values they earned on all five tiers, including the ₱20,000 on Tier 4 and the ₱25,000 on Tier 5. Meanwhile, those who do not can only bank the value of the tile on which they stepped before the winner is announced, unless they were unable to step on any of the tiles throughout the game.
The Lucky Tile is a special tile that, when stepped on by a player, grants them an advantage and the opportunity to advance to a tile of their choice in the next tier. It is revealed to the audience first, before the round begins, and is only announced to the hosts, audience, and contestants via sirens and lights in the studio. If the Lucky Tile has not been stepped on for the entire round, Luis reveal its location during the jackpot round.
The Tile Breaker round is triggered if the die on the DRM lands on a color that another Rumbler has already occupied. The Tile Breaker question requires Rumblers to identify the color of an object mentioned by Luis (for example, a cloud is white and tomato sauce is red). If the challenged Rumbler (the one who is currently holding the color that the challenger landed on) correctly answers the Tile Breaker question, they defend their tile and keep their money. If the challenger (the player that landed on the challenged Rumbler's color) responds correctly, they win the tile and the money (i.e. the two will switch places). Note that each challenger and contestant can fight for each occupied tile only once, except for the tri-colored tile, where this rule does not apply. In rare cases where both the challenger and the challenged Rumbler swapped places and then the challenger landed on the challenged Rumblers' color, the round will be retriggered.
The winner of Rally to the Top must roll six Die Rolling Machines and must land on six unique colors in 60 or more seconds. The order of the colors does not matter, but if the same color appears on two DRMs, they must roll again until they land on another color. Players must wait for the die to land on the current DRM before moving on to the next DRM. Each unique color rolled within the time limit gives the player an additional ₱5,000, while successfully landing on all six unique colors wins the player one million pesos (₱1,000,000). Starting in Episode 2, the "Rapid Rumble" round was introduced, allowing the Rumbler to add an additional 12 seconds to their clock before the round begins. This means that if a Rumbler correctly answers all six questions, he or she can play the jackpot round for up to 72 seconds. This is achieved by correctly answering six questions, with two seconds added for each correct answer. The Rumbler has three seconds to answer each question, and only the first response is accepted. If they say "Pass," it will be considered an incorrect answer and they immediately moved on to the next question. The first and 31st episodes did not feature the Rapid Rumble round.
Viewers can win cash prizes by choosing the color of the dice that will land the most times on the Die Rolling Machine (DRM) throughout the episode. To participate, viewers must comment or post with their chosen color and use the episode's official hashtag. Each episode concludes with an announcement of the homeviewer winner.
The Rainbow Pop Girls are the show's models and backup dancers, representing the six colors of the die featured in the show: pink, yellow, red, blue, green, and purple. They assist Luis in the show and provide "luck" and "color" upon the contestants. Their true identities are unknown.
The series was first teased on ABS-CBN's social media accounts in late June 2024, with a video asking the viewer a question in Filipino: "Ano ito na makulay, at kapag makarating ka sa dulo, may naghihintay na malaking papremyo?" (What is it that is colorful, and when you get to the end, there is a big prize waiting?). More information about the series was later announced at the beginning of July, when Luis Manzano renewed his contract with ABS-CBN on July 2, 2024. Furthermore, it was mentioned that the game resembles and pays homage to the pyramid format of Pilipinas, Game KNB?.
Rainbow Rumble aired on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5 from July 20, 2024 to March 23, 2025, replacing the fifth season of I Can See Your Voice and was replaced by the seventh season of Pilipinas Got Talent. The series is also available on-demand on iWantTFC and internationally on TFC.
Rainbow Rumble has featured two hundred fifty (250) participants (called Rumblers by the show) across fifty (50) episodes. The table below only lists the contestants and the cash prizes they received during Rally to the Top, including the winner's additional prize during Rainbow Reveal.
The show had given away seven million seven hundred seven thousand pesos (₱7,707,000). This includes the total winnings by each Rally to the Top winner on both rounds and those who have banked monkey during the game but did not win Rally to the Top.
As of the last episode, both Tuesday Vargas (Singer Comedians, ep. 44) and Kolette Madelo (Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 Ex-Housemates 2, ep. 50) hold the record for the highest amount banked by a non-jackpot winner, with ₱94,000 each. Nyoy Volante (ASAP Sessionistas, ep. 15) follows closely with ₱91,000. Seven contestants are tied in third place: Sancho delas Alas (Drama Moto Club, ep. 1), Andrea Del Rosario (Viva Hot Babes, ep. 5), Igi Boy Flores (Goin' Bulilit Alumni, ep. 6), Chad Kinis (Beks Squad, ep. 7), Dimples Romana (Gud Morning Kapatid Hosts, ep. 34), Anna Isleta (Starcom, ep. 36), and Winrich Sagle (OMG United Media Lab, ep. 37) with ₱90,000 each. Meanwhile, Alden Richards (Hello, Love, Again Cast, ep. 35) holds the record for the least amount of money banked by a non-jackpot winner, with ₱75,000.
In the case of groups with the same name (for example, two groups of casts from Pamilya Sagrado and Lavender Fields, and two groups of ex-housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11), the first group to play will be numbered one (1), followed by two (2), and so on (if there are any more groups from the same subject). However, the girl group BINI is excluded because their episode is divided into two parts, with four members in each group, as well as one of their coaches (Mickey Perz and Matthew Almodovar), to account for the uneven number of players required for a group to participate in the series. Additionally, some group names in the table were changed to better distinguish and identify them. Notes are included for clarification.
Here is the outcome of the Rainbow Reveal jackpot round, detailing the number of correct answers each Rally to the Top winner achieved in the Rapid Rumble round, along with the dice results each contestant rolled during the jackpot round. Each contestant starts with 60 seconds for the jackpot round, with the opportunity to extend it to 72 seconds by correctly answering all six Rapid Rumble questions. Note that any DRM marked with an "X" indicates that the roll was not counted as time had expired. In cases where the required sequence of colored rolls is not followed (for instance, if the second DRM is skipped, but the third and fourth are counted), it indicates that the contestant rolled the same color as the previous DRM and failed to roll a new, unique color in time.
Aiah Arceta (BINI: Part 2, ep. 46) has the most number of correct answers during the Rainbow Reveal round, with 5 out of 6 correct answers.
Warning: the following table presents a significant amount of different colors.
Below is a list of Rainbow Rumble's jackpot winners. The winners are referred to as "Rainbow Rumble Master" by the show. The show currently has two jackpot winners.
