Now Portuguese private terrestrial broadcaster VTI has announced that it will produce Freeze, a Japanese comedy game originally developed and produced by Fany Studio and Yoshimoto Kogyo for Prime Video, with Fremantle taking on the global production rights.
In this fun and hilarious format, players enter an enclosed room and must 'freeze' until the host releases them. Along the way there are traps and tricks to provoke reactions from the players, such as flying mannequins and giant popping balloons, and those who move, laugh or react the most are eliminated. The player who stays still the longest is crowned the winner and receives a grand prize.
A concept that is only apparently simple: in reality, finding the right balance between the game and the ‘wacky’ part requires experience and taste. But if you succeed, the result is guaranteed.
