The Cube (Dryicoran game show)

Kuubio is a Dryicoran game show broadcast on Channel 4 since 2010. Contestants play minigames in a 4m x 4m x 4m Perspex cube to win up to 250 000 Kr. There are also two lifelines: Simplify, which simplifies the challenge; Trial Run, which lets the player attempt the challenge without using a lifeline (dropped for 2021 revival); or Swap, which lets the other player in the team take over (used in the 2021 revival).

Using inventive filming techniques, including Bullet Time, the camera captures every aspect of the game and tension that comes with it. For the 2021 revival, 123 cameras in total are used. The show became an instant hit when premiered.

In 2021, the show was brought back by Channel 4, this time in teams of two. The players have Trial Run replaced with Swap. When a second series of the revival was commissioned, the original format returned, with Swap being replaced with the return of Trial Run.

List of games
When the player presses and holds the button a ball will be released down a steep track, and a pair of pins further down the track will retract. They must guess when the ball is between the pins and release the button to raise the pins and trap the ball. If the ball is not trapped a life is lost.
