1. Puzzle solving combined with sports, throwing the ball into the hole can win the prize money.

Lucky Red Ball is a quiz show with Martin Rütter as the host. Players need to work in pairs to answer questions about music, sports, entertainment news, etc. The winning team may get a prize of 100,000 euros.

For example, in the challenge of finding pictures, the contestants need to choose one of the four pictures corresponding to the first picture. Players will sit in a giant sleigh opposite the host, and the sleigh will slide farther and farther as the game progresses. At the beginning of the next race, the sled will sink into a hole in the ground. Whenever the players answer a correct question, they must put a red ball into a hole in the ground in a way similar to bowling, so as to ensure that they can get a bonus. However, as the sled seat goes away, the pitching area is farther and farther away from the hole, and it is more and more difficult to throw into the hole. If the players run out of red balls, they will be eliminated Between each question, the contestants can decide to stop answering questions at any time and take away the accumulated bonus. But if you want to win the final prize of 100,000 euros, the contestants must answer the last question on the 10th track.

According to the original design of the program, the audience was set in a semi-circular area behind the sleigh, just like an ancient arena. However, due to the epidemic, the program can only be recorded without an audience.
