Broadcasters from Belgium, France, Italy, West Germany and, for the first time, Switzerland and the United Kingdom participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

For this season, the neutral jury and the "Game of Questions" were discarded, and jokers (which allowed a team to double their score) were introduced. In addition, all of the participating teams played in one location rather than in two separate ones. The "jeu handicap" ("handicap game") was also introduced, which was played as the final game. [2]
The season was won by the team from Bardenberg, West Germany, the runner-up being the team from Nogent-sur-Marne, France. [3] [4]

Jeux sans frontières is an international television competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for thirty seasons, from 1965 to 1999, between members of the union who participated representing their countries. Broadcasters sent mixed teams that competed against each other in a series of games, usually funny physical games played in outlandish costumes though none-the-less technically difficult, with the most successful teams of the season from each country competing in a grand final. Each episode was hosted by one of the participating broadcasters at a location in its country and was themed around a specific topic.
