NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade hosts the latest over-the-top game show based on a U.K. format. This involves teams of two performing physical and mental challenges within a giant plexiglass cube—at least it doesn’t throw them around like the Mental Samurai robot. With each fail, one of nine “lives” is lost as they try to complete seven challenges and win $250,000. If they get stuck, they can ask for a one-time simplification of the task and also get a one-time assist from Wade himself. But even he may not get the last word against a Cube that regularly taunts the humans: “I am not customer support,” he reminds a couple that begs for mercy.
