This might sound like a piece of cake, but nothing could be further from the truth. There is, in fact, a twist. In this hilarious and exciting quiz, participants divide themselves at one of the six answer options for every question. Each option is linked to a ball. Is a player standing at the correct answer? Then all is well, and the ball stops in time. But if the contestant in question gives a wrong answer, he or she takes an involuntary dive into the cooling pool water beneath them.
What further makes De Kwis met Ballen unique is the team aspect. In every episode, the participants form a close-knit five-person team that knows each other inside out. Whether they are colleagues, family members, best friends, or football buddies, they know exactly what to expect from one another. Hopefully for them, this also brings a spark of luck: after all, no one wants to end up with a soaking wet suit.
