A NEW game show which is set to rival The 1% Club is coming to the UK after its huge success in Japan.
The show called 100 choices sees a group of contestants presented with 1 question and 100 possible answers.
It is similar in style to the hit quiz show The 1% Club where contestants have to answer a series of questions – but there’s a twist in the new show.
In the game show called 100 choices, the question is near impossible to answer straight away.
So, to help narrow down the possibilities its contestants must tackle five physical challenges.
Each success will then enable them to eliminate incorrect options.
The result is a dynamic format that combines brains, muscle and teamwork for maximum family entertainment value.
At the end of the show, if they answer the question correctly, they will win a huge cash prize.
Acquired by Sony Pictures Television, the show will will be launching at London Screenings 2025.
Laura St. Clair, SVP, International Formats, Sony Pictures Television, says: “100 Choices is a unique new take on family entertainment and comedy gameshow genres.
“We love the strength of the central format premise, which makes it suitable to adapt for both weekend studio prime time and location shoots.
“We’re excited to work with the team at FANYStudio to bring this fantastic format to our buyers around the world – and we can’t wait to unveil it at London Screenings later this month!”

“I am deeply impressed by how this format embodies the very essence of the HOMERUN Factory mission, through its adaptability and international relevance.
“100 Choices strives to take flight in the global market now. With the support of SPT, I sincerely hope this format will become one that is loved around the world.”
Recently, The 1% Club saw a contestant win its biggest ever jackpot in an episode of Lee Mack‘s ITV hit that will go down in history.
The popular programme sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder through the rounds.
It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right, then poses brain-teasers which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.
Contestant Matthew bagged a life-changing £99,000 when he answered the final question of the challenge correctly.
The final question was an anagram of the word elephant and when he gave his answer, told him his response was correct.
This prompted a smile and fist pump from the contestant who looked delighted.
Lee then told him: “Congratulations Matthew! You are the winner to everything in the prize pot! That’s £99,000!”
