Challenger was an Australian children's game show that aired on the Nine Network in 1997 and 1998.
[1][2] After he left the show in early 1998 he was replaced by hosts Adrian DeVito and Zoe Sheridan.
In the first round the contestants each answered a question from categories chosen at random by hitting their buzzer.
The questions were divided into six categories, spanning a range of genres: Cosmix, Entertainment, Geography, Language, Nature and Sport.
In the second round the teams competed in a set of physical challenges in order to earn questions to answer.
Prizes for contestants included merchandise from the Australian Geographic retail outlets and occasionally, a Nintendo 64 gaming console.
The team who answered the question correctly (if any) would receive the bonus 50 points and Adrian would pull the lever to start a shower of coloured water for the losing captain, who would often make faces at the camera during his introduction in the segment.
Prizes for contestants would include CD-ROM encyclopedias and Walt Disney Records CDs.
