In a race against the clock, two pairs of Dutch celebrities search for clues in spectacular, purpose-built escape rooms. Who will be the first to crack the code and escape the room?

Ten Dutch celebrities participate in each broadcast. Two non-ordinary questions are asked of the Dutch celebrities per episode, such as "Who would have the easiest time going forty days without sex?", "Who used to be chosen last in gymnastics?" and "Who is your best friend?". The broadcasts claim that for each question a panel of 100 people compiled in advance a top 10 in which the famous candidates were "ranked."

This might sound like a piece of cake, but nothing could be further from the truth. There is, in fact, a twist. In this hilarious and exciting quiz, participants divide themselves at one of the six answer options for every question. Each option is linked to a ball. Is a player standing at the correct answer? Then all is well, and the ball stops in time. But if the contestant in question gives a wrong answer, he or she takes an involuntary dive into the cooling pool water beneath them. What further makes De Kwis met Ballen unique is the team aspect. In every episode, the participants form a close-knit five-person team that knows each other inside out. Whether they are colleagues, family members, best friends, or football buddies, they know exactly what to expect from one another. Hopefully for them, this also brings a spark of luck: after all, no one wants to end up with a soaking wet suit.

Te land ter zee en in de lucht is the oldest Dutch amusement television show. It was first aired in 1971. In 2006 the 35th season of the TROS program was recorded and broadcast. It is still a popular show and travels through the country during the summer.
