Did you know?–Beat the Chasers originated as a spin-off of the British game show The Chase. It first aired in 2020 and quickly gained popularity due to its increased intensity and larger potential prizes.

Contestants initially participate in a rapid-fire, multiple-choice question round, aiming to accumulate a cash total. This initial stage concludes when a contestant correctly answers five questions or encounters a single incorrect response.

Following this,contestants face a critical decision: they can opt to challenge a smaller number of Chasers for a reduced prize or risk facing a larger contingent for a perhaps meaningful payout. The greater the number of Chasers selected, the more challenging the task becomes.

Pro tip:-Contestants should carefully consider thier risk tolerance when choosing how many Chasers to face.A smaller team offers a higher chance of success, but a larger team means a bigger potential reward.

The growing popularity of the Chase format is evident in its international expansion.New Zealand is preparing to launch its own version of the show, becoming the 22nd country to adopt the format. The local series will be hosted by Paul Henry, with The Governess and issa Schultz, dubbed “The Supernerd,” serving as Chasers. The four-part series is slated to premiere on TVNZ 1 and TVNZ+ on November 3 at 7:30 pm.
