Blooket (Dryicor)

Blooket is a Dryicoran game show broadcast on Channel 4 since 2021. The "fast-paced show" invites players to, according to a Channel 4 press release "win big whilst doing each over other".

Gameplay
The game starts with 6 players. They each start on 0 points. The aim of the game is to win points by answering quick-fire multiple-choice questions correctly. There are five rounds of 3 minutes each. After a player answers correctly, they must pick one of 3 boxes. Each contains any one of these:
 * +x gives the contestant x amount of points.
 * Lose x% subtracts x% amount of points from the contestant.
 * 'Double Points doubles the player's point total.
 * 'Triple Points triples the player's point total.
 * Swap allows the player to swap their point total with another player. This can be either good if the player is languishing near the bottom or bad if they're near or at the top.
 * Steal x% allows the player to steal x% of another player's total. This is either 10%, 25%, 50% or, in the last 1 minute, 100%.

Players do not know any another players' point totals unless they have to swap or steal.

At the end of the 3 minutes, the worst performing player has to leave immediately (a lá the Walk of Shame on The Weakest Link). The show lasts until there are 2 players left.

End Game
The end game involves a Prisoners' Dilemma variation (not unlike the Shafted "Share or Shaft?" end game). The players each tap on their screens what they want to do, whether that be "Divide" or "Conquer". This is shown to the viewers, yet not to the host or other player.


 * If both players pick "Divide", both leave with the money they won.
 * If one chooses "Conquer" and the other "Divides", the dividing player gets all of the money.
 * If both choose "Conquer", they both leave with nothing.

They are then shown a video of the other player trying to paint themselves in the best possible light, whilst the host tries to convince them both to Divide, whilst leaving the "Conquer" option open. After this, they have a final chance to switch their vote. This one is not shown to the viewers until it actually happens.

Biggest wins

 * Mätti Järvinen, a teacher from Tuotalla, and Markus Levinen, a tennis coach from Aber, divided 340 000 Kr between them in a primetime series on 5 January 2021.
 * Magnus Lattinen, a casino blackjack dealer from Lindisfarne, conquered 140 000 Kr from Samuel Ailisson, a bus driver from Afelavík, on 11 November 2020.
 * Onora Bordevik, a train conductor from Lindisfarne and Sauli Helvettinen, a warehouse operative from Tuotalla, conquered each other, losing a collective 628 000 Kr on 17 January 2021.

Reception
The show's easy-to-follow format proved popular. Reviewers suggested the game was "a combination of In the Grid, Steal, Press Your Luck, Shafted and The Weakest Link." Others said it provided the "first convincing Channel 4 daytime game show since the advent of Deal or No Deal".

One criticism was of the end game being unoriginal and since only the leader's total is at stake, the leader has more to gain by attempting to conquer.
