Hole in the Wall

***Hole in the Wall*** is an American game show created by Rob George. It aired on Cartoon Network on October 6, 2010 to January 19, 2012, running for 4 seasons and 40 episodes.

## Premise

### Game play

As was the case in previous versions, two teams of three people play. The difference is that the teams now consist of families. One member of each team is a child, and the second member must be the child's parent or guardian. The third member can either be one of the child's friends/siblings or a second parent/guardian. The contestants are dressed in the same attire from previous versions. (silver unitard, color coordinated helmets and pads)

The rules for the Double and Triple walls are the same, but points are now awarded based on how many players clear each wall, meaning that it is no longer required for every member to clear a group wall. In the normal rounds, ten points are usually given for each player who manage to clear the wall. In the speed round, however, the points are doubled.

#### Solo Wall

One variation of this round uses the same rules as the end game in the Fox version, but a black cloth covered hockey goaltender mask is used instead of blacked out goggles. In a second variation, one player stands with his/her back to the wall, facing a teammate on the other side of the pool who will give instructions on how to fit through the hole. The third variation of this round is called "Black Out". In this wall, the player has to remember what the hole looks like, but with the stipulation being that the lights in the studio will constantly flicker. Success in this round scores ten points.

#### Double Wall

Two on each team then compete on a Double Wall. Each player clearing the wall is worth ten points, with a maximum total of 20 points per round.

#### Triple Wall

All three players try to clear the wall. Rules are the same as in the Fox version, with a total of 30 points at stake.

#### Speed Wall

Similar to the Double Wall and the Speed Wall in the Fox version, but with a few variations. In the first variation, two people on each team try to clear a Double wall, the twist being that they are dizzy. Before the wall is revealed, two members from the team that isn't playing will spin their opponents, with the intent of making them dizzy. When the wall is revealed, the players are left by themselves to regain their balance and clear the wall. In a second variation, another Double wall is played, but the competitors have to clear it with a prop. In both variations, the wall moves twice as fast. Each player who clears the wall earns 20 points.

The team with the most points wins the Hole in the Wall trophy and plays the Imposso Wall. If both teams are tied, a tiebreaker wall is played.

#### Tiebreaker Wall

One player from each team is chosen to play. There are two variants of this wall. In the first variant, each player is given ten plastic balls. When the wall starts moving, the players must grab as many balls as possible, throw the balls through their hole, and clear the wall. The player who manages to get the most balls through their hole wins the competition for their team. In the second variant, both players would be facing a wall with two identical holes in it. If one of the player clears the hole, then that player's team will be the winner. If both players clear the wall or both fall into the pool, then another player of each team is chosen to play until one of the player clears the hole.

#### Imposso Wall

All three players of the winning team compete in the fifth round that has a final, more difficult wall, thus being named the Imposso Wall. In one variation, two players hold a jigsaw puzzle and must match the shape to both fit the puzzle and get themselves through. Another variation requires one of the three members to get through the wall while holding slippery balloons. In another variation, one player is blindfolded, another player wears ear muffs, and a third player is wearing a mouth piece. No matter the variation, if the wall is completed, the winning team will be immortalized in the Wall of Fame. Only four teams have conquered the Imposso Wall and got into the Wall of Fame.

In addition, the Cartoon Network website includes unaired footage from the show, which includes a wall called "The Killer Question", based on the British version of the show. Two players compete, facing a wall that displays a question and shapes that stand for two possible answers. If the players agree on the correct answer and move to that side, they can get through since that answer covers a hole, choosing the wrong answer leads them to hit a solid section and be swept into the pool.
