A new TV challenge to test in family
Are you dreaming of proving that your brain has nothing to envy to your children's brains... but are you afraid of being subtly robbed? Here is "The Last Circle", the new game of TF1 presented and produced by Arthur. His creed: bet on mental agility rather than general culture. Result? An exciting promise... or a few moments of loneliness for parents?
Competitions, emotions and small moments of panic
Impossible to remain indifferent to these 50 anonymous candidates arranged in circles around a 360 degree decor. What's at stake? Sever six circles of increasing difficulty to pick up a cheque of up to 50,000 euros. From reasoning to vision, memory and spatialization, each challenge targets a specific area of your brain. Over the course of the trials, tension rises and reminds us that it is not encyclopedic knowledge that counts... but the speed of reflection and fine logic.
Arthur says: « Children will humiliate their parents », their speed of mind is remarkable.
When stress turns into a desire to defeat
This new concept directly tests the ability of everyone to surpass themselves. First of all, there is curiosity: "Will I manage to keep my head cold in front of these challenges?" Then comes the excitement: avoid elimination by climbing circle after circle, where the level of difficulty explodes. By staying focused, the slightest mistake can turn everything around: to give serious thrills to challengers!
A thrilling race to the last circle
What happens when we get closer to the goal? The nerves are being strained: only the fastest, most precise and most creative in their strategy will see the circles come closer. For the great finalist, the grail: defying this ultimate level, taming his stress and trying to rattle the 50 000 euros prize. An intense moment, when any hesitation can be very expensive.
Family facing the screen, ready to play
The facilitator relies on intergenerational complicity to boost the atmosphere. Imagine the scene: a parent camps on his relentless logic, while a teenager reacts to the lightning speed. In front of the TV, everyone tests their reflexes... and sometimes realizes that the youth has more than one turn in their bag. It's all the spirit of this show: make small and big vibrate around the same game, doped to competition and adrenaline.
When anonymous people steal the star
With "The Last Circle", TF1 returns to a key format: unknown faces, but a talent that can surprise. The attraction of celebrity is complete: the spontaneity, authenticity and exploit of those not necessarily expected. This formula brings to light the "brute" intelligence and the lively mind, while creating a strong proximity to the public that recognizes itself in these candidates both ordinary and outstanding.
The continuation will depend on the viewers
Two first programmes have already been recorded. If the alchemy is done and the public responds present, "The last circle" may well become a regular appointment. Otherwise, he would join the list of temporary attempts. One thing is certain: Arthur wants to continue to innovate, as he is already preparing to launch another program inspired by the mythical board game "Battle Naval". It remains to be seen whether this new bet will also make the neurons of the general public shine!
