Fear Factor

The ultimate adrenaline rush

Originating Territory: The Netherlands

Fear Factor is a high-octane reality game show that sees contestants put their most primal fears aside for a chance to win a large sum of cash.​

Under the supervision of professional stunt coordinators, contestants are confronted with a series of challenges pushing them to their absolute limits, both physically and mentally. The show’s iconic feats test humanity’s worse fears from dizzying heights, to scorching fire, and from drowning danger to scary creepy-crawlies and extreme claustrophobia.

Whether tightrope walking between skyscrapers, crawling blindfolded through a rat infested tunnel, or being buried alive: ​Is fear a factor?​ ​

Contestants who complete the tasks, advance, but if fear stops them or they fail the mission, they are eliminated. Only the bravest can take home the prize
