The Cube is a British game show created by Adam Adler and presented by Phillip Schofield which offers contestants the chance to win a top prize of £250,000 by completing challenges from within a Perspex cube, based on the idea that even straightforward tasks become extremely challenging when confined and put under pressure in front of a large live studio audience.
The series premiered in the UK on ITV on 22 August, 2009.
Welcome to The Cube - a groundbreaking format where just seven simple physical and mental challenges stand between the contestant and £250,000.
The challenges appear to be simple – but games become fraught with extraordinary pressure and tension when played inside The Cube.
'The Body', the mysterious master of The Cube shows each contestant that every challenge is possible – but it's not easy when you are in there, under the spotlight...
Tasks include Trajectory, Equilibrium, Shatter, Contact, Memorise – and none are simple once inside this high-pressure claustrophobic world.
The Cube offers two life-lines - one is to Simplify a challenge and the other is Trial Run, where the contestant gets to try the challenge before committing to gamble their winnings on completing it for real.
Do you have the skill, strength and nerve to keep mind and body focused and beat The Cube?
