Friday Night Games served as a derivative program of Big Brother Australia's Friday Night Live, created by Endemol Southern Star and broadcast on Network Ten. The show was presented by Mike Goldman, Bree Amer, and Ryan "Fitzy" Fitzgerald, with filming taking place at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Australia.
The format featured two competing teams, each composed of three celebrities alongside one contestant known as the "celeb-to-be." These teams faced off in a variety of games and challenges that varied in rules and levels of difficulty. Candidates for the "celeb-to-be" position were chosen from hundreds of hopefuls through initial trials, which included activities on Dreamworld attractions such as "Wipeout" and the Tower Of Terror.
Episodes were recorded in advance before a live audience at Dreamworld's gaming arena and were scheduled for Friday night broadcasts. The victorious team earned a A$50,000 contribution to a charity of their choice, generously provided by Supercheap Auto.
Currently, fewer than half of the 10 episodes remain available; full versions of episodes 2, 4, 6, 7, and 10 exist, while partial clips from episodes 8 and 9 can be found online.
