It was hosted by Pat Sharp, who was also aided by twin cheerleaders Melanie and Martina Grant.

In 2000, it was revealed by the BBC programme TV's Finest Failures that a spin-off of Fun House featuring adult contestants was also planned.

Each episode featured 2 teams each consisting of a boy and girl representing schools from around the UK.

As in the original American version, a question would follow each game, to the value of 25 points if answered correctly.

Teams race round the track picking up tokens to add to their score, alternating drivers with each lap.

The points were shown on the lights, this time representing the number of wheels collected, by Pat Sharp hitting the button on top of the team's podium.

For two minutes, each teammate in turn would enter the Fun House and collect three prize tags and exit.

In the UK version of the show, to actually win the power prize, they not only had to grab the tag (picking it up would be signaled by the sound of a rooster crowing, accompanied by the appropriate animation), they also had to answer one question (often multi-parted) correctly within 10 seconds.

Also, the only prizes in the Fun House were non-monetary because of a law in Europe stating that children cannot win money on game shows.

The Fun House has been completely rebuilt, but much based on the 1993–1997 version (although the big leap has changed from another tube slide to some giant steps).

This included a change to the Big Leap from a tall fire fighter's pole leading to the giant steps to a zip-line seat built to carry the player from the top of the Fun House to the bottom ball pool.

To the left the balloon tunnel; to the right the monster maze; and straight ahead to go up to the raised middle platform.
