In each round, the candidate chooses a group as their opponent. Who provides more correct answers - the candidate or the average of the group? Thousands of people are asked this question in advance. The time window shrinks from round to round, the pressure increases and the game becomes more merciless. Seven duels lead the candidate to the grand final. That's where it's all decided: get out with a safe 20,000 euros or risk everything and play for 100,000? The right choice of opponent can be an advantage - or cost everything. Because those who think they know the groups are often wrong. Many groups surprise - and make clichés look old.

Sonja Zietlow, presenter: ‘’Smarter than everyone. Do you beat Germany?' is a quiz for sharp minds and clear instincts. A game that puts clichés to the test - and shows how deceptive prejudices can be. If you think you've got it all figured out, you could be wrong sooner than you think.’

Markus Küttner, Head of Entertainment at RTL: ‘’Smarter than Everyone' is a game against your own prejudices - and against the knowledge of the whole nation. What sounds so easy quickly turns into a real thriller. That's exactly what makes this unusual quiz format, which is now coming to RTL, so appealing. I am extremely pleased that we were able to win Sonja Zietlow as presenter, who will guide the candidates through this fast-paced and emotional game in her unique way.’
