"Claire Hooper's House of Games"
ABC and Endemol Shine Australia have announced the adaptation of "Claire Hooper’s House of Games", the first international version of "Richard Osman’s House of Games". The highly anticipated new nightly quiz show will premiere on Monday, 21 April at 6:30 PM on ABC TV and ABC iview. Hosted by one of Australia’s beloved stand-up comedians, Claire Hooper, the show will feature four celebrity players competing each week in a series of entertaining trivia-based puzzles, riddles, and brain teasers, allowing viewers to play along at home.
Each Monday to Friday night, four competing celebrities will face off as Claire dishes out a different mix of head-scratching games all designed to fuel the celebrity players’ competitiveness and test their mental prowess. Stepping up to the podium is an eclectic mix of famous faces, including Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm, television personality Jamie Durie, celebrity cook Julie Goodwin, ABC presenter favourites Costa Georgiadis and Zan Rowe, actor and performer Eddie Perfect, and comedians Lizzy Hoo, Rhys Nicholson, Nazeem Hussain, and Geraldine Hickey.
Following a quick-fire round, a nightly winner is declared each episode, awarding them bragging rights and their pick of the kitsch-inspired ‘House of Games’ merchandise. Who wouldn’t want to walk away with their very own ‘must-have’ salad spinner or fun fondue set? At the end of the week, points are tallied, and an overall weekly winner will be crowned champion and awarded the highly coveted ‘House of Games’ trophy.
Host Claire Hooper called the opportunity a dream job: “Well, I’m officially doing my dream job. ‘House of Games’, the UK cult favourite quiz show, is now here at the ABC. Each weeknight, before the news, I, Claire Hooper, will be testing celebrities with a series of ridiculous brain games and laughing when they struggle – in a fun way! Play along at home and work out if you’re smarter than the weekly lineups of my great mates;" commented.
