Rules

Three families vie for cash prizes by seeing who can successfully complete a series of physical challenges. The game is played in a house where everything is 100 times bigger than the contestants.

In the show four timed rounds: a children's round, a mother's round, a father's round and a family round. The challenges may sound simple at first, like turning off a hair dryer, closing a water tap, or finding a pin in bowl of pasta, but when faced with gargantuan objects, contestants must find strength, speed, and creativity to succeed. In the final round, the fate of each family is left up to the fathers. Each dad is submerged into a giant washing machine where he must hold on as long as he can while the increasing centrifugal force of the washing machine tests his strength. As velocity increases, soap and water is released and the fathers must avoid being thrown out with the clothes.

And as if that weren't enough, for every challenge that a family previously lost, a five kilo weight is strapped to the dad's body. The family whose father holds on the longest wins the game.

International versions
gollark: I fear that some sort of computer troubleshooting class may just end up teaching people to blindly try one specific thing they learned instead of... actually problem-solving. Which would admittedly be better than now.
gollark: People just see an error of some sort, and immediately their brain shuts down, even if it specifies what to do about it.
gollark: A useful skill people seem to lack is any ability whatsoever to solve basic problems with computers, but that's hard to teach.
gollark: You can argue about physics being useful and english literature not or whatever, but it's outweighted by how much anyone involved actually cares.
gollark: Generally, things the students in question actually want to learn, instead of whatever random junk they don't.
