Hole in the Wall (Magisterian game show)

Hole in the Wall is a Magisterian television game show that currently airs on PTV. The show is an adaptation of the Japanese game show Nōkabe (脳カベ) (meaning Brain Wall, nicknamed by YouTube fans as "Human Tetris") in which players must contort themselves to fit through cutouts in a large 13 feet (4.0 m) by 7.5 feet (2.3 m) Styrofoam wall moving towards them on a 50 feet (15 m) track. Every week, two teams of television personalities will compete for M₣100,000 in prize money with M₣50,000 to be donated to their chosen charity. On May 6, 2023, the show was renewed for three more seasons, bringing it to five seasons.

Blake Lacey and the infamously named Mirabel Madrigal serves as the two main hosts, while Lorin Norris serves as the commentator for the instant replays. The wall is activated by the presenters by shouting Bring on the wall!.

Format
The game is split into four rounds as well as the final "Extreme Wall".

The first round is "Solo Wall" which saw each team's guest players take a turn to face a wall just on their own. For each wall, 10 points were given to the player for a pass while a fail could be given up to 5 points depending on the host's whim.

Next is the "Captain's Challenge" or "Captain's Mate" which could be one of a number of games:


 * Doubles - The captain and a chosen teammate of his choosing (usually, the one they are encouraged to do so by the studio audience) both attempt a wall.
 * Props - The captain must complete the wall with a prop.
 * Mirror Wall - The captain must attempt a wall backwards (facing the swimming pool) leaving his two teammates communicate to him about the shape he needs to make.
 * Blind Wall - The captain is blindfolded and his team members have to instruct to him the shape he needs to make.

The third round is "Mystery Guest or Killer Question", the team leading being offered the choice of which game they wished to play and the currently losing team playing the other challenge.


 * Killer Question - Two players face a wall without cut-outs with a question written at the top and two answers marked as doors.
 * Mystery Guest - One of the team attempts a wall with a mystery guest (or several).

The fourth round is the "Team Wall". All three players face the wall with a maximum of 30 points on offer.

The programme's finale is the "Extreme Wall" The leading team got to choose to attempt the wall or nominate the opposition. All three players on the team attempt the wall, which travels at double speed and has an impossible cutout. Every week, The pool is modified during the wall (Ex. Electrified, eel-infested)
