An entertaining tv series full of hilarious challenges

 

Game Breakers is a game show for children, entirely conceived and produced by Het Peloton. In 8 fun episodes, Ketnet wrapper Thomas invites a different (Ketnet) hero to his gamehall to battle it out. Among others, he games with Timon Verbeeck, Amber Aerts (Mia from #LikeMe) and Average Rob.

They challenge each other to arcade games with promising names like Down the Clown or Grand Piano Keys. But that’s not all … we make it extra exciting! The players not only have to do their best to win the game, but they also get a crazy assignment in addition. In the game Pump it Up, they have to both dance, and put on a disco costume.
