A dynamic, 48-minute studio-based quiz show, Win Your Country! brings knowledge and strategy together in a unique competition between three contestants, all aiming to “conquer” a country – one county at a time.
Each correct answer allows a player to claim a new region on the map. After each round, the contestant with the fewest conquered counties is eliminated. But there’s still hope – the eliminated players can win cash by answering bonus questions.
In the final round, the remaining contestant has three minutes to answer as many questions as possible. The prize? A set amount of money multiplied by the number of counties conquered throughout the game.
The winning contestant can choose to return in the next episode and continue playing – until another challenger takes their place.
And for those who make it all the way: winning 10 consecutive editions secures the Grand Prize – a brand-new car.
Win Your Country! is a 100% original Zucchero Media format, launched in 2017 on the Romanian public channel TVR2. Since its debut, the show has been hosted by the charismatic and trusted Virgil Ianțu.
