Game ng Bayan was debuted on March 7, 2016 as part of the Kapamilya Gold afternoon block, and aired around the same time as GMA Network's Wowowin. The program cancelled with its last episode on April 15, 2016.[2] Following the end of the game show's run, Robin Padilla will focus with his commitment on the fifth season of Pilipinas Got Talent, while the rest of his co-hosts will deal with other projects.[3] Game ng Bayan, along with the Korean drama My Love Donna, were both replaced by My Super D.[4]

Competition
