Game of Games Suomi is a Finnish version of the American game show Ellen's Game of Games . The show premiered in November 2021 on TV channel MTV3, and will be hosted by Aku Hirviniemi and Janne Kataja, with the show being first to have two official hosts. [2]
In each 90-minute episode, a group of contestants have a chance to win money by playing humorous games, and advance to the final.
The format of the show is slightly similar to the other international versions; on the first phase, contestants play a different set of games, of which half are eliminated, meanwhile the others advance. From the semifinal round, only one contestant has the chance to win €20,000.
In each episode, contestants face off in a different set of games, six on each episode. One contestant from each will advance. This is a list of games played in random order during the first round:
Contestants, who won the preliminary games, play this game and are blindfolded. The contestants dance around until the music stops and must find a randomly placed stool to sit on to stay in the game. Hosts will press a button to determine where the chairs will appear on the dancefloor. The last contestant to not find a seat is eliminated, and others move on to Know or Fall.
The winners of the four preliminary games stand on a row of trap doors, and take turns answering questions. An incorrect answer results in the contestant being eliminated from the game and dropped through the trap door, sliding down a chute that empties below the stage. The last contestant standing advances to the last final game.
The contestant has a limited time to identify the faces of celebrities that fit a certain category. After identifying a celebrity, the contestant must press a button to move on to the next face. Contestants may pass if they are unsure but will need to wait three seconds until the next face appears. Contestants earn an escalating amount of money based on the number of faces they correctly identify, as shown in the table below. Correctly identifying all celebrities earns the grand prize of €20,000.
Correct answers | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |

Money won | €500 | €1,000 | €1,500 | €2,000 | €4,000 | €6,000 | €8,000 | €10,000 | €15,000 | €20,000 |

The show started to tape in November 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal, in Warner Bros studios, where many other international versions are taped. This just because it was cheaper and there's aren't such big studios in Finland to film at, said Joona Kortesmäki, the executive producer of the show. [10]
