John de Mol’s The Floor Getting U.S. Treatment

Eureka Productions is teaming up with John de Mol’s Talpa to bring the new global format The Floor to the U.S.

“John de Mol and the team at Talpa have developed a brilliant format that we’re confident will hook U.S. audiences,” said Chris Culvenor, co-CEO of Eureka Productions. “The Floor is a battle of brains on an epic scale. It’s reminded me of the classic board game RISK, but here, it’s your smarts and strategy that will enable you to gain ground and conquer the floor.”

In the fast-paced quiz show, 100 quiz fanatics face-off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into one hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a cash prize. 

“The Floor is a unique and instantly recognizable, arced game show,” said Sebastian van Barneveld, Talpa’s director of international distribution. “Who better to bring this format to the U.S. with than Eureka, one of the most prolific production companies today, in both the U.S. and Australia.”
