Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe[1] ("The Knight of the Labyrinth"), was a French children's adventure game show, produced by the French TV production company Marina Productions (founded in 1989[2] by Claude Berthier[3], one of France's most successful independent media executives, he was the founder of 4D in 1984, the first French licensing and distribution company to obtain the exclusive French-speaking rights for Sonic the Hedgehog) and the French film and television production house Top nº1 Productions, which was broadcast on Wednesdays at 4.30 pm and repeated on Sundays at 8.00 am on the French public national television channel Antenne 2 (currently France 2), from 19 September 1990 to 31 August 1991 as part of the animated television programming block "Éric et toi et moi" ("Éric and you and me").
Like its Spanish counterpart El Rescate del Talismán, the show was adapted[4] from the British children's adventure game show "Knightmare", created by British television producer Tim Child and was officially sponsored[5] by Sega.
The show followed a Fantasy plot, in which a team of four young contestants known as "Chevaliers" ("Knights") helped by "Le Maître du Château"[6] ("The Master of the Castle", played[7] by French actor Georges Beller) had to search for a treasure in an enchanted castle (accomplished by chroma key techniques) known as "Le Château du Labyrinthe" ("The Castle of the Labyrinth").
One contestant in the role of "Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe" ("The Knight of the Labyrinth"), wearing an horned helmet that blocked his vision called "Le Casque du Chevalier" ("The Knight's Helmet"), was guided by his three comrades through a number of rooms[8][9], avoiding traps, and answering questions of general knowledge made to him in the form of riddles, by actors[6] in the roles of sword and sorcery characters.
If "Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe" commited an error like walking into a flame or falling into a pit, he would suffer a "virtual death" and the quest had to be continued by one of his team mates. If three contestants eventually died the team would lose the game.
After reaching the last room the guided contestant would remove the helmet and solve one last puzzle, against a time limit (represented by a bomb fuse). If solved, he could release an enchanted sword from a door, which once open would reveal the treasure of the castle, initially consisting of Master System consoles and later of a Mega Drive console and a "Chevalier du Labyrinthe" board game[10] (released in 1991 by MB) for each contestant.
On 13 March 1991[11] Antenne 2 decided to exclude the show "Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe" from its Wednesday animated television programming block "Éric et toi et moi" but continued broadcasting the show separately, this time on Saturdays at 6.00 pm, until 31 August 1991[12].
