GAME OF CHAIRS: MUSICAL CHAIRS TURNED INTO TV FORMAT UNVEILED BY BANIJAY

Banijay Entertainment have announced Game Of Chairs, a series created by Shine Iberia (part of Banijay Iberia).

The series takes the traditional game of musical chairs and transforms it into a "vibrant competition, blending tactical and skill-based challenges". When the music is paying, ten contestants are in a circle around nine chairs, and when the music stops, one will be left without a seat.

The contestants must battle against each other to win a seat and stay in the game. As the show progresses, so does the jackpot, whilst the number of chairs remaining in the game decreases along with the number of contestants. The winner of the game will face 'The Master Chair' for a chance to win a cash prize.

Macarena Rey, CEO, Shine Iberia says: "Fun for all the family, Game of Chairs is inspired by a classic childhood game played all around the world. Our dynamic blend of game show and nostalgia elevates the party favourite, resulting in a dynamic format with international appeal."

More details will be announced in due course.
