Based on the hit US show, the series sees eleven of Britain's sharpest brains from across the nerd spectrum face challenges that test their intellect, ingenuity, skills and pop-culture prowess. Designed to to sort the weak from the geek, the nerds live together in "Nerdvana," competing first as teams before moving on to individual challenges. Each week one contestant is eliminated, until the series culminates with one winner chosen to sit on the 'Throne of Games' as the quintessential master of all things nerdy, the King Of The Nerds.
