David Tennant Hosts ITV's Complex Genius Game

David Tennant stars as 'The Creator' in ITV's new game show Genius Game, where he guides contestants solely through pre-recorded instructions and does not appear physically on set. Adapted from a South Korean format, the show features intellectually and socially adept contestants competing in challenging games for a cash prize. Players accumulate in-game currency called 'garnets' and participate in a main group challenge to win immunity, followed by an elimination match. The show's complex rules and convoluted gameplay structure have sparked intrigue and confusion among viewers and critics, with debates over whether the intricacy enhances or hinders its appeal. During a live episode of The One Show, host Alex Jones accidentally revealed a spoiler about Genius Game, prompting a light-hearted apology to Tennant. Genius Game is airing as an eight-part series on ITV.
