Take the Tower - Season 1
Season 1
In this adrenaline-fuelled format, wannabe action heroes compete to win the holiday of a lifetime. Standing in their way is a high-rise tower full of challenges plus Hollywood supervillain and host - Dolph Lundgren.
Drawing inspiration from some of the greatest action movies of all time, teams of four face a series of tough physical tests and quiz questions that require brains and stamina. Each floor has an action movie challenge for them to beat. From navigating across a touch sensitive alarmed floor, through steep, slippery vents and out of a malfunctioning lab. Chained to a boiler system, trapped in an exploding toilet, or taking paintball bullets from their friends. The team must fight their way up to the penthouse for the final round and a head-to-head shoot out with Dolph to win a holiday.
But as in all great films, there's a twist. Fail a mission and one member of the team is ejected from the building, supervillain style! Who will survive and conquer the tower?
