Phillip Schofield invites two pairs to stand above a 4-metre circular LED sunk into the studio floor and drop a gold ring on the precise pixel he names. The first series, shot on the Dutch set in 2017, let one team play until it cleared five levels or ran out of rings; from 2018 the format became head-to-head, and a miss hands the opponents 15 seconds to poach the cash. Each round shrinks the ring and swells the prize: £1,000, £2,500, £5,000, £7,500, £10,000, with a maximum haul of £52,000 if one team sweeps every question and steals every opponents’ pot.
Questions demand millimetre accuracy: plant a ring on Loch Ness using an unlabelled map of Scotland, or mark where Muhammad Ali’s 1960 boxing gold should sit on a blank 20th-century timeline. Lifelines let a team flip to a second image or poll five supporters brandishing tablets. The final face-off gives each pair one last ring; the higher bank decides who plays, and a hit takes the lot while a miss gifts the money to the losers.
Twenty-four episodes aired across four short series between March 2017 and December 2020, plus a companion app so viewers could drop their own virtual jewellery at home. Board-game shelves welcomed a plastic version in 2018, while broadcasters from France to Mongolia licensed the floor-sized format and kept the rings travelling round the world.
