Ben Shephard fronts an arcade‑styled quiz programme, bringing the excitement of a classic gaming hall to the television screen. The show’s setting leans heavily into retro arcade aesthetics, and the presenter guides participants through each round with his familiar, upbeat style. The core of the game revolves around contestants choosing one of four separate chutes and then releasing a token down the selected lane.

Overall, the programme blends the nostalgic feel of an arcade with the tension of a quiz, all under Ben Shephard’s stewardship, and centres on the single, clear objective of converting a token drop into a ten‑thousand‑pound reward.
