Tipping Point

Ben Shephard hosts an arcade‑themed quiz where participants aim for a cash prize. As part of the game, contestants drop tokens down a choice of four chutes, each drop, in each attempt, giving them a chance to claim the £10,000 jackpot.

The programme is an arcade‑styled quiz show presented by Ben Shephard. It blends the feel of a classic arcade hall with the structure of a television quiz, and the host guides participants through each round of the game. At the heart of the format, contestants are asked to release a token into one of four separate chutes. Each chute offers a different chance of success, and the choice of which path to take forms the central challenge of the episode. The aim is simple: get the token to land in the winning slot and claim the prize. The token‑dropping mechanic provides a visual hook that mirrors the bright, fast‑paced atmosphere of an arcade. As each player makes their selection, the tension builds, with the potential reward hanging in the balance. The design keeps the focus on the act of dropping the token and the anticipation of the outcome. If a contestant’s token reaches the correct chute, they walk away with a £10,000 jackpot. This cash prize represents the ultimate goal of the game, giving participants a clear incentive to take a chance on one of the four possible routes. The combination of Ben Shephard’s hosting, the arcade aesthetic, and the token‑drop challenge creates a concise, high‑stakes quiz experience.
