Celebrity contestants go on a hilarious journey through the ages

The Chicken or The Egg is the hit family prime time game show from VRT1 (Belgium). This entertaining and hilarious format sees four celebrity contestants embark upon a comedic journey through the years, under the guidance of the series host. With a focus on key events, music, culture, movies, politics, fashion and sports, the contestants are faced with a series of questions over five rounds. All questions can be answered by stating either ‘sooner’ or ‘later.’

For example: Did Abba release Money, Money, Money ‘sooner’ or ‘later’ than Dire Straits released Money For Nothing?

Which dance film was released first, which one was released later? List them in chronological order: Dirty Dancing; Footloose; Grease.

Bob Geldof released the Band Aid song “Do They Know It’s Christmas” in 1984. When did “USA for Africa” release “We are The World”? Sooner or later than 1984?

Throughout the game play, the celebrity contestants discuss events that happened around the same time as the period in question, evoking memories for both those in the studio and the viewers at home.

After the elimination round, the contestant with the lowest score drops out, but the remaining contestants can buy him back to join their team through a fast-paced auction - the more players, the bigger the brain.

The Chicken or The Egg - the key is in the chronology!
