SkyDive Quiz





Taking the tried-and-tested quiz show format to a whole new level – literally. In Skydive Quiz, the questions are easy, but the contestants must answer them while falling from the sky. And then suddenly, questions like ‘What is your mother’s second last name?’ aren’t quite so easy after all. There’s only one rule for taking on this challenge: first-time jumpers only.

The family-friendly show features six contestants per episode. In a plane at an altitude of 15,000 feet, contestants prepare for their first skydive. When they take that leap, they will have just three seconds to answer questions before their parachute deploys.

But there’s a twist. Each episode closes with a TV star entering the game. Contestants can bet part of their winnings on how many questions the VIP will answer correctly. Will they dare to risk their hard-won cash for the chance to double – or lose – their winnings?

Format Elements

  • The Hangar | Studio

    The show starts in the hangar, where the team prepares the candidates for their jump. As the plane gains altitude, we enjoy incredible landscape shots from the skies. The landing area on a beach is clearly visible from above.

  • The Airplane

    The candidates get into their flying taxi, equipped with specially designed helmets and a heart-rate monitor. They are accompanied by an experienced flight team. It’s the first skydive for the candidates. At an altitude of 15,000 feet, the candidates experience their first free fall.

  • The Hosts

    A team of moderators accompany the candidates from the hangar to the beach. Each episode closes with a TV star entering the game.

  • In The Air

    In addition to the thrilling quiz, viewers can enjoy the stunning landscape shots of the area, including the coastline and the beach with the landing area.

  • The Contestants

    Each episode has three teams with two candidates. The candidates are no strangers to each other – they are best friends, family members, or spouses, and they give their team an amusing name. There’s only one rule for taking on this challenge – first-time jumpers only! The team with the most points wins the game.

  • The Questions

    The plane takes off, and soars to an altitude of 15,000 feet. The contestants face the open door of the plane… and then freefall while answering easy trivia questions – with only three seconds to spare before their parachute deploys.

    • How many years are two and a half centuries?
    • How many letters are there in the word ‚Mississippi‘?
    • How many syllables in the word ‚extraordinary‘?
    • What is 2 + 3 x 3?

    Contestants earn real money for every correct answer. Once they are safely on the ground, we witness their initial reactions.
