The highly anticipated quiz show, which has already been licensed in the UK and the US, premiered on RTL4 in The Netherlands with a 19.8% market share in key demos.

This week, Talpa’s highly anticipated new quiz show, The Floor, scored good numbers on RTL4 with a market share of 19,8% in the key 20-49 demo. It came in second place despite some heavy competition in the 8 pm time slot.

The high-paced quiz show has already begun its international rollout. In 2022, Youngest Media announced a partnership with Talpa to bring the format to the UK, and Eureka Productions teamed up with Talpa to bring The Floor to the US. Further announcements are to be expected soon.

On The Floor, 100 quiz fanatics face-off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into one hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent’s square. Categories range from ‘famous athletes’ to ‘Hollywood actors’ and from ‘iconic buildings’ to ‘mammals’. All questions are visually supported by photographs. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent’s square, gaining more ground – the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the more exciting the duels become and the higher the stakes… After eight episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor, winning 100.000 euros?

The Floor is a Talpa Concepts format, distributed by Talpa Distribution.
