You're Back in the Room is an Australian game show adapted from the British original of the same title. It debuted on the Nine Network on 3 April 2016. The program is presented by Daryl Somers with hypnotist Keith Barry, who also featured in the UK version.

Format

Participants aim to win cash rewards while being hypnotised by Keith Barry, who employs hypnosis to interfere with their abilities. Throughout five rounds, contestants undertake various challenges designed to build a cash prize pool. The competition concludes with a rapid final stage where players strive to secure as much of their accumulated winnings as possible.

The top prize is $20,000, but failing to successfully complete the tasks can result in deductions from their total earnings.
