It is La Carte Aux Tresors tonight

By | April 25, 2018

From 7:55pm UK / 8:55pm in France. It’s on France 3 so you’ll need to use a naughty stream or the dark arts to watch. I’m busy tonight (in fact the next few days are going to be a bit quiet Barwise as I’m about to receive and set-up an exciting new computer – in theory Schlag den Henssler commentary and Game Night from my couch rather than an uncomfortable computer chair – exciting!) so will watch on catch-up at the weekend.

Here are the pre-titles and titles. I gather the original score composer has returned to redo the music.

In other news, this looks like Carnage.

      At 4PM?!

      Davina’s four trap doors vs. Ben’s four drop zones, this’ll be interesting…

    Robot Wars is back! Yay.

    But it’s not Robot Wars, it’s Carbot Wars! Boo.

      I was thinking more Full Metal Challenge myself (which I liked- too bad it only got one season)

    Ironically, i first heard about it from joey graceffa (host/creator of escape the night, another murder-mystery show of all pepole!) complain about it, while he steals from whodunnit wholesale…

    This was very faithful to the original as it turns out, the big innovation being light use of Augmented Reality-style graphics. New stencil style graphics are pretty good – clean. Quite liked the reversionings of the original background tunes and theme. Copious viewer competition questions are a thrilling addition.

    Symbolic handing over of smartphones to Cyril at the start.

    Three puzzles each timed at 30, 20 and 30 minutes to earn picture hints for Rose au Vents, hunt for Rose au Vents is not against clock, a straight race (clue involved an anagram which was fun, although it feels like the other clues are still mainly of the “Find X who does Y with Z” variety). Final Treasure challenge a straight three minute physical task around a local monument, although this one had a mental aspect as well.

    Still terrified a contestant is going to cause an accident when they thrust a microphone into a driver’s face as they’re driving, but it’s great that you can once again get free lifts around France just by wearing a red jumper and saying “I’m from Carte aux Tresors!”
