39 challengers vie to survive for 10 days in iQIYI variety show

"This show is like a mirror, and at many moments it reflects who you are in the face of challenges and choices," said stand-up comedian and participant Pang Bo.

Arguing that games are the most abstract simulation of reality, the director hoped the show, through presenting the real reactions of its 39 participants when faced with various challenges in playing the games, could strike a chord with modern audiences who live under huge pressure.

"I hope the show can inspire the audience to face challenges when they want to escape from them and make the right choices when taking on the challenges," Chen said.

Tenday is available for streaming on iQIYI, with new episodes released every Friday at noon.
