00:00Here we are, back together once more, but for the final time.
00:04How did we all get here?
00:06Well...
00:10Seven days earlier,
00:1211 players of exceptional ability were invited to play a game like no other.
00:19We've witnessed beautiful defeats.
00:21The strategy failed. Sorry, guys.
00:23That was very unlucky.
00:25Please think about who you trust.
00:27And ugly victories.
00:30Be nice to each other.
00:32You're not letting me talk.
00:35One by one...
00:36Karma.
00:37...they've been eliminated.
00:39Here you go, Ken.
00:40See you guys later.
00:41Bye, guys.
00:44You've done so well.
00:47In the semi-final, Bex's early era brought an end to her journey.
00:52You have been eliminated.
00:54Bye, bye.
00:56Before Ken outwitted the others.
00:58It's going in.
00:59To win the main match.
01:01Ken, that is such a genius move.
01:03Good job, Ken.
01:06Ken outplayed all of us.
01:08He's earned his place in the final.
01:10Forcing Benjamin, Bedalia and Charlotte to battle it out in a three-way death match.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:17Oh, my God.
01:18Charlotte emerged victorious.
01:20Congratulations to you both.
01:21Bye, guys.
01:22And now two players remain.
01:25It's going to be pure psych cards.
01:27Who have truly earned their place in the final.
01:30I'm going for Voltsy.
01:32The crown.
01:33Who will win the cash prize and be crowned the ultimate genius.
01:38Let the mind games begin.
01:40Playing the game scrambles your mind.
01:41Thank God there's no jail.
01:42It's, you know, you have to be in total control.
01:43Good to be back.
01:44I just wish I'd be able to play more games and be more into the final.
01:54You will have to be in total control.
01:59Good to be back.
02:00I just wish I'd been able to play more games and be more into the final.

02:27in that pressure cooker environment it's so high intensity you know one wrong
02:32move and the game is over

03:46chance all the way back in main match three are we here to support are we here

08:19eliminated players you will watch from the lounge please take your seats this is nerve-wracking finalists
08:33the time has come
08:35hello hello how much do you want to win I feel like I've never wanted anything more I do like
08:49winning that's why I play games I do play games to win I feel like I wanted to prove something to
08:53myself yes when I was growing up my family was all about academic skill like it was never for a
08:58second about anything else yeah games have taught me so much about myself I used to be a bad
09:03loser when I was a kid I used to hate losing so much and now I've kind of when I win the game
09:08it's to go okay I want it because of not just my mental skill but my understanding of myself but
09:15like all the different aspects of genius like it doesn't just revolve around how how good you are
09:19at thinking of strategies no it's like a team game I think we're gonna have a really good match
09:24to me too me too well all that's left is to say good luck and have fun good luck have fun
09:31Charlotte and Ken
09:38your first death match is same or different
09:44Ken was fast in this game players will attempt to find sets of three pictures to win points in each
09:55round players will be faced with a grid of nine pictures these pictures have three properties the
10:02first is shape circle square or triangle the second is shape color blue red or yellow the third is
10:12background color white black or gray in every round players must find three pictures that form a set a
10:20set is where every property of the three pictures is either the same or different for example here the
10:27shapes are all the same the colors of the shapes are all different and the background colors are all
10:32the same they form a set however in this example the backgrounds are all the same the shape colors are
10:41all different but there are two triangles and a circle so as the shapes are neither all the same or
10:48all different this is not a set players have 10 seconds to answer on their turn if a player spots a
10:57set they gain one point if they are incorrect they lose one point when a player believes there are
11:08no sets remaining they may call complete if they are correct they score three points however if there
11:15are sets remaining they will lose one point if play passes for six turns without either player giving an
11:22answer then the round is over the player with the most points after five rounds will be the winner of
11:30the death match best of luck to both players I remember this you know it's gonna be a great game I don't
11:38know I don't know I've been running through the potential games in my head and how I would play them
11:43remembering what strategies were said what strategies were done and which one succeeded I'm feeling more
11:49prepared and when I'm prepared I'm calmer and when I'm calmer then I perform better we'll see we will
11:57see I feel good about the game it's a game that I am quite quick at Charlotte's strengths lie in
12:05thinking more strategically all the time it could be anyone's game they're both gonna be equally good at
12:13yeah the three dimensions of playing the game it's just who cracks here we go
12:19Charlotte and Ken earlier today your fellow players allocated advantages to each of you
12:27there are two advantages which can be used at any time during today's game the first of which is
12:34invalidate the invalidate advantage enables a player to block an advantage deployed by their opponent
12:41a man fee gifted this advantage to Charlotte that's a good advantage the second general advantage is
12:50steel the steel advantage enables a player to steal an advantage from their opponent Scott gifted this
12:58advantage to Charlotte thank you there are also three advantages to use only during the game same or
13:09different the first of these advantages is reveal the reveal advantage enables a player to reveal how
13:15many sets there are on the round they play it on Pasha gifted this advantage to Ken I hope Charlotte doesn't take
13:27that against me the second advantage is double the double advantage enables a player to double the points
13:33available in that round this applies to both players and to positive and negative points
13:39Bex gifted this advantage to Ken thank you the final available advantage is penalty blocker the penalty blocker advantage
13:49cancels a player's first penalty in the room they choose to play it on Indy gifted this advantage to Charlotte
13:56thank you thank you as a player with more garments Ken will get to decide who plays first in the first round I'll go first best of luck to both players the death match will now begin

15:32it's quite hard this game
15:40I like it
15:41that was a fun round
15:43it feels rough to go complete and not get it
15:45I took a bit of a risk there and it didn't pay off
15:48would either of you like to use an advantage in this range
15:52yes
15:52I would like to use my reveal advantage and my double advantage
15:56thank you
15:58I've decided to use my advantages both of them I want to make her use her invalidate
16:03I would like to invalidate his reveal
16:07that's good that's good that invalidates out of the game
16:10thank you
16:11all points will be doubled in this round

18:09so we will move on to the next round
18:10not bad
18:14not bad
18:14I think your
18:15your double was
18:16was good
18:16I should have used my penalty
18:18delete advantage in that round
18:20taking a negative two was
18:21was pretty heavy for me
18:23I thought it was very bad
18:24when you said complete
18:25I thought that six points
18:27was gonna go your way
18:29we're neck and neck
18:30but Charlotte's a great opponent
18:32she aims to win
18:33Charlotte

19:43no
19:43would anyone like to use the advantages
19:47in the next round
19:48I would like to use penalty blocker this round
19:51it means that she's got the advantage

19:56at least one time
19:57we will now reveal the picture for round four
20:02Charlotte will start

23:45the first death match
23:46was very exciting
23:47it was a
23:48eight out of ten
23:49on the kinometer
23:49good game
23:50it was just a thrill
23:52and you know
23:53Charlotte was a really
23:54tough opponent
23:54and she did very well
23:55but I managed to eke out
23:56the win
23:57wow
23:59two rounds in
24:01I was so
24:02it is a little bit
24:04frustrating
24:04just because
24:05I was on par with him
24:06for a good while
24:06and then it just
24:07yeah
24:08he rolled too far forward
24:10I am currently one down
24:11but there's no clear winner
24:13until the very end of the game
24:14I just have to believe in myself
24:16and just be fully focused
24:17new game
24:18new rules
24:19finalists
24:22your second game is called
24:24the golden triangle
24:25now is this because
24:27our producers came up with it
24:28when hiking across
24:29the golden triangle
24:30mountain range
24:31in Myanmar
24:31is it a subtle genius game
24:33nod to the golden triangle
24:35of universities
24:36in London
24:36Oxford
24:37and Cambridge
24:37or is it just because
24:39there's a golden triangle
24:40stuck on the table
24:41it's played on
24:41you be the judge
24:43but it's the one
24:44about the table
24:45in this game
24:50each player
24:51will be given a set
24:52of tokens
24:53numbered one to ten
24:54they will take it in turns
24:58to place these tokens
24:59onto the game board
25:00they can be placed anywhere
25:03and in any order
25:05once all tokens
25:07have been played
25:07there will be one
25:08empty triangle
25:10this is the golden triangle
25:14the sum of each player's tokens
25:17that have been placed
25:18directly next to the golden triangle
25:20will be their score
25:21for that round
25:22the game will consist
25:26of three rounds
25:27and points will accumulate
25:28across the entire game
25:30the player with the most points
25:31at the end of the game
25:32will be the winner
25:34the golden triangle
25:36will begin shortly
25:37very tough
25:40I've not played anything
25:41like the golden triangle before
25:43it's completely new to me
25:44it looks very difficult
25:45there could be
25:46a dominant strategy
25:48that I haven't seen yet
25:49if Charlotte sees
25:50the best strategy first
25:51she could really run away with it
25:53I think this is a very strategic game
25:56the number you have
25:57on your first triangle
25:58is going to be very important
25:59and I think there's a slight advantage
26:01for whoever goes second
26:02this could go anyway
26:03definitely some things
26:06you should and shouldn't do
26:07really?
26:07now I'm just trying to think
26:08how to maximise it
26:10yeah
26:11yeah
26:11I just feel like
26:15I have to beat him
26:16I just have to believe in myself
26:18and be fully focused
26:19and just take Ken on
26:21players
26:28in a best of three death matches
26:30Ken currently leads 1-0
26:33Charlotte
26:34you must win this match
26:36in order to stay in the game
26:38Ken as the winner
26:44of the previous death match
26:45you decide the starting player
26:48in the first round
26:49I would like to go first
26:51having a lead
26:52is a really good position
26:53but Charlotte
26:54is a really tough opponent
26:55it could be anyone's game
26:56I fancy he wins this
26:59I think Charlotte's got this one
27:00players
27:02there are two advantages
27:03available in Golden Triangle
27:05the first
27:06is duplicate
27:07which enables a player
27:09to duplicate
27:10one of their tokens
27:11Alison
27:12gifted this advantage
27:13to Ken
27:14the second advantage
27:17is added value
27:18this enables a player
27:20to secretly add 2
27:22to the value
27:23of any one
27:23of their tokens
27:24as Ken
27:26is the player
27:26with the most garnets
27:27he earns this advantage
27:29thank you
27:35Charlotte still has
27:40the steel advantage
27:41available
27:41which enables her
27:42to steal an advantage
27:43of her choice
27:45from Ken
27:45if she steals his one
27:50that is mega
27:51would anybody like
27:53to use an advantage
27:54in this round
27:55I'd like to steal
27:58Ken's Duke
27:58her stealing
28:02is a perfect move
28:03yeah no
28:03it's the smart thing
28:04to do for Charlotte
28:05she has to do it
28:06Ken please hand over
28:10the advantage
28:10to Charlotte
28:11thank you
28:11you may play
28:13your advantages
28:14in any of the three rounds
28:16would either of you
28:18like to play an advantage
28:19in the first round
28:20Charlotte
28:22Ken
28:23the first round
28:24of golden triangle
28:25will begin now
28:27anything could go wrong
28:33in the first move
28:34there could be some
28:35secret hidden strategies
28:37that are really good
28:38and I just don't know
28:39having a complete new game
28:41is really worrying
28:42I've got to figure this out
28:43before she does
28:44interesting
28:48was that a strong position
28:51don't know
28:53was it not
28:55one could argue
28:57it's one of the stronger positions
28:58one could argue that
29:00I think this game
29:02is a lot about
29:03reading what
29:04the next steps
29:05will be
29:05you're trying to
29:07ensure the golden triangle
29:08is in a place
29:09where you lose the least
29:10or you gain the most
29:12amount of points
29:13I think there's a lot
29:16of different ways
29:16you can play this
29:17right now
29:18I'm currently following
29:18how Ken is playing
29:19with his high value tiles
29:20first
29:21nice
29:22nice
29:25but I'm placing them
29:26in ways in which
29:27they have
29:28more map coverage
29:29she's going 10, 9, 8
29:39downwards
29:39but I'm trying to think
29:42if I follow this
29:43does that put me
29:43at a disadvantage
29:44because I went second
29:45does that put me
29:46I don't know
29:47it depends how well
29:47we place
29:48I would take my one
29:51and just block his 10
29:51yeah I'd go straight
29:52in front of it
29:53why is this stressing
29:57me out so hard
29:58it's just so many
30:00unknowns
30:00we won't know
30:01what's good
30:02until the ground
30:03ends to be honest
30:04that's true
30:05yes
30:08I see what she's doing
30:13she's trying to get
30:14as many of the empty
30:15triangles next to her
30:16big numbers
30:17control the adjacencies
30:18yeah so it's hard for him
30:20to block all of the things
30:21that she gets a big number
30:22next to
30:22right now
30:23she has so many
30:24triangles that need blocking
30:25how have you thought of these
30:49already so fast
30:50I've decided this game
30:57to play a really simple
30:58strategy for the first round
31:00it's just put your high value
31:01tiles in places with
31:02three adjacent triangles
31:04I think that will put her
31:06on the back foot
31:06because she has to then
31:08react to just stay in the game
31:09okay so I have to block out
31:12your 10 somehow
31:13I think Ken has got more of a
31:17handle on this game than I do
31:18I think he understands the game
31:19better
31:19I'm very worried about that
31:21because there are definitely
31:22strategies to this game
31:23but I just don't understand it
31:25at this point
31:43I understand the logic
31:53if you play offensively
31:55it means that you're controlling
31:56the other player's next move
31:57you know what they have to play
31:58I feel like at this point
32:13I'm just mitigating losses
32:14you know
32:15really
32:16with where
32:17with positioning
32:18right yeah
32:18I feel like if I put it here
32:20it's not terrible
32:23that's probably the play to do
32:27but everything else is mitigation
32:28like
32:28there's no attack
32:30in this
32:30in this form
32:32I think she's pretty on edge
32:35yeah
32:35Ken's monopolizing the gaps
32:37he's got all those key
32:38triangles
32:39I think I just have to put it here
32:43yeah
32:44it's quite tough to get that many points
32:49in this situation
32:50yeah
32:51I mean that's always going to go there
32:53at some point
32:53yeah I mean this is going to go here
32:55I believe
32:57okay
32:57I'm not sure actually
33:01so it gives you plus four on me
33:07if we leave that over
33:08that's true
33:08I'm mathing that correctly right
33:21I'm mathing that correctly right
33:35four to three
33:37mathing mathing
33:37I will now place the golden triangle
33:41Charlotte after round one
33:46you have four points
33:47and Ken you have seven
33:49good round
33:49good round
33:51oh
33:52she's a cruel one
33:54it's not
33:55it's not a disaster though
33:56no
33:57and I think they both learnt a lot from this game
33:59yeah
34:00we will shortly begin round two
34:03would either of you like to use an advantage in this round
34:06I'm okay
34:08at this point Charlotte is one nil down
34:11so she needs to use advantages to just stay in the game
34:14I'm okay
34:15I only have plans to use my duplicate
34:19which I've stolen from Ken
34:20the moment he uses his plus two
34:23Ken as the winner of the previous round
34:25you may decide who goes first
34:27I would like to go first please
34:30round two will begin now
34:34so much pressure now on this game
34:36yeah
34:37this round I've decided to place my tie triangles close together
34:43to force my opponent to deal with all of that
34:46I noticed in the past round that the placement of the tiles wasn't optimal
34:50so I'm deciding to change where I put my first tile
34:54just to see how much it will affect the board later on
34:58she seems a lot more composed than she did towards the end of the last round
35:02yeah
35:02she does seem more composed
35:03yeah
35:04oh this is so rough
35:23the math ain't mathin
35:25it's just a maths game isn't it
35:29it literally is a maths game and we're talking to like a maths
35:31are you not good at maths you're good at maths
35:33who said I was good at maths
35:34just your vibe I think
35:36thank you because I'm Asian
35:37nah
35:38let's just throw this in
35:46might as well at this point
35:48oh it's pretty good move for you
35:54for you I think
35:55I'm not sure where to go now
35:57I think that seven was a brilliant move
36:00she's gonna do them
36:01yeah that was smart
36:02she's playing a little better this round
36:03she's gonna win this
36:04I'm not sure
36:08I don't know how but it looks like I don't have enough pieces to actually deal with her high value ones
36:14start filling stuff in
36:18going into round two
36:21sort of understand the game a bit more
36:24and I have confidence in my abilities
36:26but Ken is surely in it for the win
36:29as am I
36:30you're tough this game
36:31yeah
36:32doesn't really matter which one I put right
36:51I think it might end up being a draw
36:58nice
37:15I will now place the golden triangle
37:18at the end of the second round
37:23Charlotte has 12 points
37:24and Ken has 15 points
37:26good game
37:28good game
37:29wow that's a better result for her
37:31my god she's batting again
37:33I think Charlotte's really thinking
37:35because he's playing for either a draw or a win
37:37she has to play for a win
37:38which is
37:39in fact he wouldn't even mind a loss of two
37:41he wouldn't mind that either
37:43and she has a duplicate
37:44all to play for now
37:46as the previous round was a draw
37:57Charlotte you may decide who goes first in the next round
37:59I would like to go first please
38:01before the round begins
38:03would either of you like to play your advantages
38:06yes
38:07yes please
38:08Charlotte
38:09which token would you like to duplicate for the next round
38:12my 10
38:14which token would you like your 10 to replace
38:16but one
38:18oof look at that big 10
38:22that's scary isn't it
38:24that's a 9 point advantage
38:26I'm pretty sure that means
38:27I don't know how I make up 9 points
38:29thank you very much
38:30you don't
38:31pretty powerful advantage
38:33yeah I would say
38:3410 10
38:36he has to block both of those now
38:38because they're big points for her
38:40she's super focused now
38:41look the chat's gone
38:42this is the Charlotte winning face
38:44I'm telling you
38:44yeah
38:44Ken you may now go to the dealer room
38:49and let the dealer know
38:51which token
38:52you would like to add 2 to
38:53thank you
38:55I have a chance in this game
38:56using my duplicate advantage
38:58and swapping my 1 for a 10
38:59should give me the edge
39:00to win this round
39:02just have to remain calm
39:03just look at the board
39:05play the game
39:05beat your opponent
39:06I would like it to add 2
39:11to the token 8
39:12it just seems like a good number
39:15because it's not the 10
39:16the 10 will be very obvious
39:17and the 9 will be quite obvious
39:19and it just seems like
39:208's the next best one
39:21it's a bit like chess really
39:24this game
39:24you have to think 10 moves ahead
39:26at this point
39:27as long as I don't lose this round
39:29by more than 3 points
39:30I will win the whole game
39:32because I'm 3 points ahead
39:33the final round of Golden Triangle
39:41will begin now
39:43solid start
39:52and so it starts
39:53let's try something different
39:55I guess
39:56don't know what the ramifications will be
39:58I could have easily done
40:00the exact same thing
40:01from round 1
40:02but Charlotte has taken my spot
40:03from the first round
40:04so it could be anyone's game
40:06I have a chance in this game
40:09just have to remain calm
40:11there's no panicking here
40:12just look at the board
40:13play the game
40:14beat your opponent
40:15oh
40:20I don't know
40:33I don't know
40:33to be honest
40:33I don't know
40:38I feel like
40:40something's gone wrong
40:41his head's gone a bit
40:44Charlotte has now controlled
40:453 out of the 5 key triangles
40:47she's going to win this
40:48it doesn't feel great
41:02at this point
41:03Charlotte has her pieces down
41:05in a really strong position
41:06it feels like
41:07I'm going to have to spend
41:08a lot of tiles
41:08just blocking her
41:09already having used my high numbered tiles
41:19I can't quite figure out
41:20what I need to do to win
41:22he knows exactly what he needs to do
41:24to just not lose
41:25and it makes it hard to come back
41:27from a deficit
41:28it's so hard with that 10 in there
41:31not much I can do
41:35I should have put that down
41:37if that was a mistake
41:38I think you might win it
41:41in the third round
41:42no because I don't know
41:45which tile you added
41:46two points to
41:47that's true
41:48I could buy anything
41:50this is just super hard
41:56it's going to go down the wire
41:57wow
41:57I think it's on your 6
42:20this is definitely a game
42:26where every move counts
42:27and positioning matters
42:29and point accumulation
42:30also matters
42:31so now it's just about
42:32a battle of who can
42:33who could figure it out faster
42:34now I feel like
42:41it's on your 1
42:42actually
42:43oh this has got tough now
42:55I mean she has to go for it
42:56she needs to win this now
42:58he can still win the game
42:59if he loses this round
43:00by one or two
43:13I think you have it
43:30oh my god
43:37I will now place
43:42the golden triangle
43:43Ken
43:47as you placed your added value
43:49on your number 8
43:50the final scores
43:52are 25 to Ken
43:54and 21 to Charlotte
43:56good game
43:58good game
