Richard Osman's House of Games
Richard Osman's House of Games is a British quiz show produced by Banijay (owners of Endemol Shine UK), a branch of Remarkable Television, for the BBC, hosted by Richard Osman. The show is played on a weekly basis, with four celebrities playing on five consecutive days to win daily prizes and the weekly prize of being crowned as "House of Games" champion. Points are accrued depending on where each celebrity finishes on each day and the points are doubled on Friday's show.
Osman sits on a chair to the left of the screen, while the four celebrities sit on adjoining chairs. Osman hits a button on his table, activating a round generator, which is displayed on a big screen. He then explains what the round is about and in what format it will take place (i.e., whether it is a buzzer round, a pairs round or one where the players require use of their tablet computers). Five rounds are played each day, with the second round being played in pairs, and the final round always being "Answer Smash". In most games, a point is awarded for each correct answer, but in "Answer Smash", points are also deducted for incorrect answers.
