The strategic maneuvering and high-stakes deception of ITV1’s “Genius Game” heats up this Thursday. Episode 4 finds the remaining players facing the aptly named “Lights Off” challenge, a game that requires more than just brainpower. With the looming threat of the Black Block – and the dreaded Death Match that follows – desperation sets in.

Alliances crumble, betrayals multiply, and contestants resort to increasingly elaborate acts of subterfuge to survive. In “Genius Game,” social IQ is as crucial as intellectual prowess, and this week, the players demonstrate a willingness to use every tool at their disposal, even if it means resorting to some rather questionable tactics.

As the episode progresses, the tension builds toward the inevitable Death Match. Here, one player’s game will end, a result determined by a twist that may or may not be entirely fair. This new reality competition continues to test the limits of both intellect and ethics.
