The Quiz With Balls questions and answers are trickier than they look. This new hit game show, hosted by comedian Jay Pharoah, features general questions with multiple answers that two teams try to guess correctly. The point is to have each family member stand on platforms that have the correct answer so that the ball representing the wrong answer doesn’t knock one of them into the pool of water below (though that’s entertaining for us). This joins other FOX game shows that debuted this year, like The 1% Club and The Floor. Here’s a list of every question and answer so far for The Quiz With Balls Season 1 in 2024.
