Kids + chaos + Finnish sarcasm = unhinged brilliance you didn't know you needed.
Season 1 • Episode 4
LatestThe junior version of the phenomenal Grandmaster puts children in the limelight! The basic idea of the program is the same as for adults: children compete in tasks that require intelligence, skill and wit prepared by the Grand Master. There will be speed and even wild situations, as well as downright sharp analysis in the studio. Jaakko Saariluoma is rightfully the grandmaster, and his right-hand man is judge Pilvi Hämäläinen.
