The show is a quiz programme fronted by the comedian Lee Mack. It adopts the familiar format of a televised competition, with a charismatic host steering the action and introducing each segment. The series positions itself as a light‑hearted yet challenging contest, inviting viewers to follow along as the game unfolds. Each episode gathers a hundred contestants who face questions designed to probe their logical reasoning and everyday common sense. The puzzles range from simple deductions to more intricate brainteasers, requiring participants to think quickly and apply practical knowledge. This focus on mental acuity sets the programme apart from pure trivia formats. Throughout the competition, contestants answer the challenges in succession, with correct responses allowing them to stay in the game while incorrect answers lead to elimination. The progression creates a tension‑filled atmosphere, as participants watch their peers drop out and the remaining few vie for the top spot.

This substantial reward underlines the competitive spirit of the show, motivating participants to give their best effort on every question. The prospect of such a windfall adds an extra layer of excitement for both players and audience alike.
