Australia’s answer to the cerebral panel show, Claire Hooper’s House of Games, makes its return to ABC and ABC iview for a run of episodes starting Monday, June 23, running through Friday, June 27, all at 6:30 PM. This week, the comedy quiz puts stage star Lucy Durack, gardening guru Jamie Durie, and comedians Dilruk Jayasinha and Lizzy Hoo through a series of brain-teasers and word puzzles.
The format, for the uninitiated, is simple enough: four celebrities answer odd questions for a week, all aiming for the grandest of prizes. This isn’t a cash-stuffed briefcase, mind you, but rather a choice between a trophy or a crab-shaped spoon holder. Because, that’s how House of Games rolls.
This batch of episodes — S1E46 to S1E50 — promises the usual mix of head-scratching rounds. This week, the questions include: who is Claire’s Perfect Match, if One Out of Four Ain’t Bad and whether Three Heads Are Better Than One. Expect the usual banter, the occasional flash of true insight, and plenty of moments where famous folks prove they are just as flummoxed by common knowledge as the rest of us. It’s light, it’s fun, and it’s a perfectly good way to wind down the day.
Claire Hooper’s House of Games airs Monday, June 23 through Friday, June 27, 2025, at 6:30 PM on ABC and ABC iview.
