    Extreme Activity was a game show produced by Constantin Entertainment and broadcast on ProSieben from July 15, 2006 to September 3, 2007 . Extreme Activity was broadcast on Saturdays until November 25, 2006 . As of December 5, 2006, the game show was broadcast on Tuesdays at 8:15 pm. The show was moderated by Jürgen von der Lippe .

    Originally, seven episodes were to be broadcast during the summer break, but due to the good ratings ProSieben announced after the third episode that the show would be extended until autumn 2006.

    The show was suspended in 2007 due to falling ratings.

    Rules of the game

    The format is based on the successful parlor game Activity . Six celebrities each play in three teams. They play different games from the parlor game of the same name and have to “ verbally paraphrase ”, “ pantomime ” or “ paint ” different terms within 90 seconds . A random number generator decides which variant is played before each round. This has been expanded to include the point " Extreme ". In this game round, the terms must be explained in two minutes under special circumstances. For the extra effort of the player, extreme games earn twice as many points as normal games.

    At the end there is the final, in which two players have to guess terms within two minutes that the remaining four players explain to them. For each correct answer, the team that guessed the term receives three points.

    Extreme rounds

    • Looping-Bike: ("Tortur De Force" or "Gastric Juice Press"): The player sits on a bicycle that is attached to a looping construction and that turns over again and again. In the meantime he has to try to verbally paraphrase terms.
    • Hung upside down on a rope, the player has to draw the terms to be guessed.
    • Double pantomime: The terms must be explained using a teammate from the opposing team. According to Jürgen von der Lippe, the teammate becomes “wax” in the player's hands.
    • Sing-Spiel: The player must sing the explanations of terms as improvised text to the melody of a well-known song (for example “ Marmor, Stein und Eisen breaks ”), accompanied by Jürgen von der Lippe on the guitar or in the POPSTARS-Spezial by Dieter Falk on the keyboard .
    • Song Gargling: The player has to take a sip of water and try to gargle simple songs to be guessed.
    • Tango: The player explains terms while being guided by a professional tango dancer.
    • Wrestling: The player is involved in a kind of match by two wrestlers and also pushed around by them while having to explain terms orally.
    • Super Soaker: The player has to explain the terms while several children, who appear as rockers with sunglasses and leather clothes, are vehemently attacked with large water pistols.
    • Water bombs: The player must explain the terms while being pelted with water bombs by several children who appear as rockers with sunglasses and leather jackets. These are sometimes also filled with color.
    • Helium game: Not the player, but the other two teammates have to inhale helium from balloons, and an answer is only valid if spoken in a raised voice.
    • Centrifugal wheel ("cosmonaut top"): The player has to explain terms, while he is clamped in an aero trim, a device developed for space travel consisting of three movable rings that can be rotated simultaneously around the transverse, longitudinal and vertical axis.
    • "Extreme Vocaling": Jürgen von der Lippe holds up a vowel, and the terms can then only be described with this vowel. This means that every other vowel must be replaced by the specific vowel (comparable to the song Three Chinese with the Double Bass ).
    • "Extreme consonanting": Jürgen von der Lippe holds up a different consonant for each term, and the player now has to replace the original consonant with the one shown by Jürgen when explaining the terms for each word that begins with a consonant.
    • "Ladies' Pleasure": Jürgen von der Lippe describes a converted office chair like this. An unbalanced electric motor causes the chair and the person sitting on it to vibrate strongly, making it difficult to speak and concentrate. Meanwhile, of course, terms have to be explained.
    • Horror bouncy castle: The player is fastened in a bouncy castle with a belt and has to start jumping. The longer he hops up and down, the higher it throws him into the air. Meanwhile he has to try to verbally paraphrase terms.
    • The "knight armor": The player is put into a clattering knight armor and must try to pantomime terms, made difficult by the restricted freedom of movement.
    • The "Egyptian Mummy": The player is wrapped up like a mummy and must then pantomime the terms.
    • The jumping sheet: A player steps into a jumping sheet that is held by at least 13 firefighters and has to rewrite terms. To make it difficult for the player, the jumping sheet is violently moved up and down so that the player flies up.
    • The horizontal bar: The two raters have to hang on a horizontal bar and guess terms. Those who can no longer hold their own and fall down are no longer allowed to guess. This can mean an early end of the round if both counselors can no longer hold on to the pole.
    • The big meal: The player is put food into his mouth by an opponent sitting behind him and has to try to explain terms.
    • Dialect: The player has to explain the term in different dialects.
    • Russian dance: The player is led by members of a dance group that dances Russian dances and must try to verbally describe terms.
    • Cheer Leader: The player is led by members of a cheer leader group who do their typical dances and has to try to explain terms.
    • Cake fight: While the player is thrown cakes in the face by the opposing team, he must try to verbally explain as many terms as possible.
    • Rapping: The explanations of the terms are raped by the player.
    • Floating pantomime: The player floats in the air using a climbing harness that is tied to the ceiling with a rope and must try to pantomime terms. This is made even more difficult by the fact that the opposing team is also allowed to push the man floating in the air.
    • The stand-up man: The player is put into a life-size stand-up man and has to try to verbally describe as many terms as possible while being pushed around.

Each of the two is only allowed to say one word at a time, and alternately, and they have to try to come up with explanations that are as useful as possible, which can be quite difficult because they don't always have the same sentences in mind.
    • Bull riding : The player has to sit on an artificial bull that moves wildly through the area while trying to paraphrase as many words as possible.
