Press release Official statement New plan
  • Lithuanian quiz show Golden Mind is beginning its 13th season on LRT television.
  • The new “Lightning” round gives contestants five seconds to answer each of five questions and awards two points to the winner.
  • Hosts Arūnas Valinskas and Andrius Tapinas said the format has been successful, with only limited changes needed.

Golden Mind is returning to Lithuanian television for its 13th season with a new final challenge designed to make the show’s closing moments even more tense.

The number 13 is a good sign for us.

· Arūnas ValinskasThe host commented on the launch of the show’s 13th season.

The “Lightning” round consists of five questions on a single theme. Contestants have only five seconds to answer each one, and the winner receives two points. The round will serve as the eighth question in every final.

That extra score could give a trailing contestant one last chance to stay in the game, or secure victory for a player who has already built a strong lead. Creator and host Arūnas Valinskas said the first recordings showed that the new round had added tension and intrigue to the finals.

Every year we try to improve the already perfect game rounds a little, so they become even more interesting for players and viewers.

· Arūnas ValinskasThe show’s creator described the approach to updating the long-running format.

Valinskas called the number 13 a good sign and said he knocked on wood three times before the season began. Fellow host Andrius Tapinas also appears in the new season. Golden Mind airs on LRT on Fridays at 9:30 p.m.

The first recordings showed that we had introduced a round that brought even more tension and intrigue to the show’s finals.

· Arūnas ValinskasHe discussed the early response to the new Lightning round.
