Episode 7

In the last semi-final, the competition reaches fever pitch. The fastest runners-up from the heats go head to head and need to push their brains to the limit in order to reach the final.

Tonight is the last semi-final of The Family Brain Games and the competition is reaching fever pitch. The fastest runners-up from the heats are going head to head and need to push their brains to the limit in order to reach the final. As we have seen in the previous semi-finals, the games have been designed to be ramped up, harder and more challenging in order to truly determine which family deserves the final spot in the final.

As with the two previous semi-finals, tonight’s games include Shape Shifters, a visual game that tests group communication and non-verbal reasoning as they work together to recreate a 3D geometric shape, and Word Ladder, a vocabulary game which requires the family members to work strategically as a team, demonstrating fluid and efficient group communication skills.

There is also Pathfinder, a game for the adult team members, which tests their co-operative spatial planning and logic, whilst the two children will compete at Card Slide, a numerical game that also relies on strategy.

The semi-final concludes with the intense all-or-nothing Interrogation round. Which team will keep their wits about them to progress to the final stage of the tournament?
