The clock is counting down 8, 7, 6. The hero’s hands
are shaking, his nerves are shot. He wipes his brow as
sweat trickles down his temples. The music is building
up to a crescendo and the suspense is unbearable! It’s
a familiar scene - we all know what he has to do, take a
deep breath, clear his head and cut the right wire… The
only difference is – this time it’s YOU.
BOOM! fuses the drama, intensity and thrill of a
blockbuster action movie with the high octane fun of a
video game to create an explosive trivia challenge.
A unique visual concept coupled with a rollercoaster
of laughter and adrenaline - BOOM!’s fresh approach

game shows into one must-see event for viewers of all
ages. BOOM! delivers fierce tension and light-hearted
humor in quick succession, extending the experience
not only to those in the studio, but also viewers at home

own bombs on screen, in the knowledge that making a
mistake that will BOOM! them.
