“Pointless” is a general knowledge quiz show where three pairs of contestants compete to find the least obvious answers to a series of fun, surprising, and varied questions.

Before the show, 100 people have been asked the exact same questions. Now, the goal for the studio contestants is to come up with answers that as few of those 100 people as possible have given. The pair that scores the fewest points across all quiz rounds reaches the final, where they have the chance to win DKK 50,000.
