Tipping Point

Ben Shephard hosts an arcade‑themed quiz the show where participants compete for a £10,000 jackpot. In each round, contestants drop a token down one of four chutes, each representing a possible answer, hoping their selection will secure the top prize.

The series is an arcade‑styled quiz show presented by Ben Shephard. Set against a colourful gaming backdrop, the programme blends traditional question‑answer elements with a distinctly arcade feel, positioning it as a unique entry in the quiz‑show genre. Shephard’s role is to introduce each round, explain the rules, and keep the pace lively. Each episode pits participants against a simple yet suspenseful challenge: they must release a token into one of four separate chutes. The choice of chute determines the token’s path, and the contestants hope that their selection will guide the token toward the winning slot, creating a blend of chance and skill. The chutes are visually distinct, each offering a different chance of success as the token descends. The ultimate reward on offer is a cash jackpot of £10,000. Players aim to navigate the token through the chutes successfully, with the prospect of walking away with the full prize providing the central motivation throughout the game. Securing the full amount depends entirely on the token’s final position, making every drop critical. With Ben Shephard guiding the action and the arcade‑themed mechanics driving the tension, the show delivers a straightforward yet engaging format. Contestants’ decisions, the four‑chute system, and the £10,000 prize combine to form the core experience of the programme, appealing to both quiz‑show fans and arcade enthusiasts.
