Game of Games is an Australian TV game show hosted by Grant Denyer based on the American game show "Ellen's Game of Games". It premiered on Network Ten on Sunday, 7 October 2018 at 7:30pm and on 24 November 2018 Channel Ten changed its timeslot to 7:00pm every Saturday. The first season concluded on 15 December 2018. Format. "Game of Games" has a similar format to its US counterpart, "Ellen's Game of Games". The show consists of a number of preliminary games, a game of 'Know or Go' (with the four preliminary game winners competing  in it) and then 'Hot Hands' (with the winner of 'Know or Go' competing for $50,000). In some episodes, 'Blindfolded Musical Chairs' acts as an extra semifinal round before 'Know or Go'. If 'Blindfolded Musical Chairs' is played, there are 5 preliminary rounds so that there are 5 players, so that the last player, who doesn't get a seat, is eliminated from playing in 'Know or Go'. Every show begins with a short intro showing the games that would be played in the episode and the $50,000 prize available. It then introduces Grant Denyer by saying "It 's game time!". Semifinal games. Blindfolded Musical Chairs: Five contestants, who won the preliminary games, play this game and are blindfolded. The contestants dance around until the music stops and must find a randomly placed stool to sit on to stay in the game. Grant will press a button to determine where the chairs will appear on the dancefloor. The last contestant to not find a seat is eliminated, and others move on to Know or Go. Know or Go: The winners of the four preliminary games stand on a row of trap doors, and take turns answering questions. An  incorrect answer results in the contestant being eliminated from the game and dropped through the trap door, sliding down a chute that empties below the stage. The last contestant standing advances to the Hot Hands game. Final games. Hot Hands: The contestant has 30 seconds to identify the faces of ten celebrities that fit a certain category. After identifying a celebrity, the contestant must press a button to move on to the next face. Contestants may pass if they are unsure but will need to wait three seconds until the next face appears. Contestants earn an escalating amount of money  based on the number of faces they correctly identify, as shown in the table below. Correctly identifying ten celebrities earns the grand prize of $50,000.
