99 to Beat is a game show franchise that originated in Belgium and was first broadcast in January 2018. Versions have been developed in other countries. The game is based around an arena. The contestants compete with games played singularly, in couples or between teams.
The game progresses over the course of a season with the grand prize awarded to the player who is the last and wins the final game.[1]
Format
In the original Belgian version, 100 contestants compete over the course of an entire season, going head-to-head in a series of ability challenges, with the rule that the person that comes last in the challenge is out of the game show.
At the end of the challenge, the player that loses has to leave the competition, counting down from 100 to just 1.
The last contestant standing will take the jackpot home.
