- A viking often appears behind the showmaster.
- The off-screen jury (consisting of only 1 person) corrects Ben when he gets something wrong.

- The record of most points collected in the first 3 rounds, is 1440.
- Jo met de Banjo, a Belgian DJ and former TV star, is responsible for warming up the crowd.
- As of season 15, the set design has completely changed. The introtune has been rewritten by Regi Penxten.
- In season 18, the set was redesigned again, this time with music by Bent Van Looy.
- Originally, the contestants controlled red and blue pieces. This was later changed to green and yellow pieces, then back to red and blue, and now red and yellow.
- A children's version of the show has also aired, called "Blokjes" (literally means "Cubes"). In this version, the winning contestant plays for a trip. This is because in European game shows, it is illegal for a game show to award children money.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or elements:
“I think the main thing, don’t you, is to keep the show on the road.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“There surely is a being who presides over the universe; and who, with infinite wisdom and power, has reduced the jarring elements into just order and proportion. Let speculative reasoners dispute, how far this beneficent being extends his care, and whether he prolongs our existence beyond the grave, in order to bestow on virtue its just reward, and render it fully triumphant.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
