A TV gameshow come to life? No, this isn't the latest episode of Black Mirror. It's none other than THE CUBE.

What Is THE CUBE?

ITV first aired THE CUBE in 2009, where it quickly became a hit for presenting contestants with challenges in an eerily-voiced glass box; tasks that looked simple when demoed by the masked figure, yet turned out to be anything but.
