Watch this episode online on ITV. Host Phillip Schofield will return to preside over the high-octane gameshow, which sees contestants attempt seemingly simple tasks within the high-pressure confines of the iconic Perspex box.

Each contestant will have nine lives to complete seven games, each worth an increasing amount of money, as they move closer to the huge jackpot. Players will have to overcome extreme nerves and frustration as they take on deceivingly simple tasks such as throwing a ball into a container, balancing on a beam or stopping a clock at precisely 10 seconds.

But will they have what it takes to beat the mighty Cube? ITV is an British television network, and is one of the main television networks in the United Kingdom. The series has its own set of games producers who invent and run all of the games seen on the show. De Burgh added: "The team start two or three months before recording the shows. The team play each game over and over and the minutiae is incredibly detailed — they have to work out sizes, distances, times, and everything in between.

He added: "Attract is a good example of that - we've seen people complete it in ten seconds, but then watched Kevin Clifton lift that ball up and down for 42 minutes. Games like Dead Stop we used to play at home with a tennis ball and the kitchen table. Fans are familiar with some of these games, like Loop, which involves the contestant having to roll a ball around a loop with the precise amount of power so the ball lands in a box at the other end.

For the Christmas special, the games have been adapted to incorporate two players instead of one, and Kidd said he was harder than it looks to switch up the games. She said: "Each game is precisely tuned to either one or two people. The original premise of The Cube was about one person confronting a challenge. Some of our two-player games were adapted from one player games but most were new ideas — specifically designed to test the skills and teamwork of two people.

There is a rigorous process the creators have to go through before deciding which games will make the actual show. Kidd added: "We test all the games before the contestants play them, you may notice how Phillip has stats on the pass rate of each game — this comes from our testing period. We then choose a mix of games that test a variety of different skills — from reaction and accuracy to balance and agility. They may be professionals when it comes to the games, but even the games creators struggle to get their heads around some of the challenges.

Kidd said: "Just like when celebrities and members of the public tackle The Cube, each member of the production team has their own personal game nemesis.

I can't do Dead Stop. Why is it so hard? De Burgh added: "Anything to do with balance, Attract was a nightmare for me.
