The format challenges contestants who are invited to a luxurious mansion to survive an onslaught of elaborate pranks set up by the homeowner — all while keeping their heart rates from rising. Adding to the suspense, one participant secretly plays the role of the “Mole,” who knows every trick in advance.
The show quickly became a hit in Japan, and its first international adaptation aired in Norway in 2021. The Danish version marks another key step in the format’s global expansion.
Produced by Nordisk Film TV (part of Banijay Nordic), Season 2 of Trick House (Ro På!) premiered in primetime on DR1, raising the stakes with even more inventive tricks, heightened tension, and unexpected betrayals. Building on the format’s strong success and high audience engagement across the Nordics, the new season continues to captivate younger viewers and families alike. The six-part series (6 x 28’) is hosted by Maria Helander, winner of Trick House Season 1, alongside returning co host Sælma Alakhir, two of Denmark’s most recognised children’s and youth presenters. Trick House sits as part of Banijay Entertainment’s third-party portfolio.
Helen Greatorex, Head of Format Acquisitions at Banijay Entertainment says: ‘Trick House has proven to be a standout hit in the Nordics, combining originality with strong audience engagement. Its ability to evolve each season while maintaining its core appeal continues to resonate with younger audiences in a fresh and exciting way, and we’re thrilled to see its return to Denmark’.
Setsuko Yoda, TV Asahi’s Head of Formats, says: ‘Trick House is a format that pushes both the players and the viewers into a thrilling space where anything can happen. We’re thrilled to see audiences in Denmark embrace this second season’.
