Overview

• Joko Winterscheidt revealed on October 1 via Instagram that the contracted site had pulled out, leaving roughly 72 hours to reorganize.
• The live episode aired on October 4 at 20:15 as planned on ProSieben and Joyn from the network’s News Campus in Unterföhring near Munich.
• Producers and hosts described the scramble as an “absolute catastrophe” and a “Himmelfahrtskommando,” underscoring the heavy logistics of the roaming live format.
• The originally intended location was not disclosed after earlier hints suggested an eastern Germany setting, prompting disappointment from fans who had expected cities like Leipzig or Bremen.
• The format stages high-stakes, secret-location broadcasts where on-site participants can win €100,000, with ProSieben’s centralized site—operational since December 2024—providing the fallback venue.
