I was looking forward to this but unfortunately I don't think it's worked. It's too slow, and boring despite the high stakes. The single game per episode worked well in the original because there was plenty of other drama happening. The second episode with the shapes cracker game - doing all four groups separately was so boring.
Plus most of the games have an element of puzzle solving, which doesn't work here because the puzzles were solved on the show so everyone knows the answers.
