Yomiuri TV has optioned a nail-biting quiz show format, “Play Innocent”, to MoveMe GmbH. The show, originally aired on Yomiuri TV in 2021 summer, is a brand-new game show combining the traditional quiz show with the game of “Werewolf.” 4 players are given various questions, and they must discuss with each other to reach a unanimous answer. However, there is a player called “X” among them, who knows all the answers and must conceal their identity while leading the others to the wrong answers. Meikel Giersemehl, the co-founder, commented “We are very happy to find such an innovative format, that combines humor with a guessing game. We are sure that it fits perfect to the German market.”
