Several teams of five personalities and unknowns confront the various physical and mental tests so as to gain access to the treasure room. All profit from the series goes to a national charity. The show has been “Moroccanised” with its sets and costumes … Passe-partout and Passe-muraille are present, however Father Fouras becomes Hdidane, played by Kamal Kadimi. Audience ratings reached a record 6.6 million viewers during the broadcast of the fourth episode.
