2 voor 12 (English: 2 for 12), formerly Twee voor Twaalf, is a Dutch game show broadcast weekly on that country's public television system since 1971 by BNNVARA (VARA until 2017). Joop Koopman hosted the original version of the program, which aired from 1971 to 1981. A revival, hosted by Astrid Joosten, has aired since 1991, and is broadcast on NPO 2 as of 2021. The program was the longest running quiz program on Dutch television as of 2013.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
In the program, two teams of two contestants are given twelve questions to answer with the help of reference books and, in more recent editions, Dutch Wikipedia.[2] Players cannot see if their answers are right or wrong until after the conclusion of the quiz.[3] The first letter of each answer forms an anagram the contestants must unscramble to find a twelve-letter word. Points are deducted as the references are used, and bonuses are awarded afterward based on the number of correct answers offered, with the highest scoring team winning the game.[4] Bonuses for nine or more correct answers were added beginning upon the program's return in 1991 in order to incentivize players to search for correct answers. Later on, another bonus was added for offering a correct answer without using any references. [2]
Questions are presented on myriad subjects in a variety of ways, with many using stock footage, and some being accompanied by animations produced by students at HKU.[5]
Champions are allowed to return for up to three programs, with 3-time champions and 2-time champions who choose to leave the program receiving their score multiplied into Euro (or Dutch guilder, prior to 2002).[3][4]
History[edit]
Ellen Blazer, a longtime worker for VARA, created the program.[6] Her aim was to create a quiz that people could play even without significant amounts of knowledge.[7] Despite its longevity, the format has not been sold to foreign broadcasters.[2]
Joosten noted upon the program's 50th anniversary in 2021 that the program has been referred to as a Rolls-Royce of quizzes.[7] The program's success has resulted in the catchphrase "Dat zoeken we op" (English: We'll look it up) entering the Dutch lexicon.[2]
