Let's Play Ball
Two giant balls. No map. No mercy. Let’s Play Ball is not just a race—it’s a full-throttle reality format where chaos meets beauty.

The Format
Two giant balls. One epic race. In Let’s Play Ball, two celebrity teams race across the country—pushing enormous balls through city centers, farmland, lakesides, and the most iconic spots in the Netherlands.
Armed with only their instincts and the kindness of strangers (no phones, no maps), the teams must find creative ways to reach hidden checkpoints. Each stop features unexpected, reality-driven challenges—from lifting the ball over canals to baking local specialties under pressure.
Every race ends in a dramatic head-to-head finale. Authentic, chaotic, and impossible not to smile at.
How we made it
A show built to move—on the ground and in post. We designed Let’s Play Ball to be as dynamic behind the scenes as it is on screen. Each episode was captured across sprawling terrains in just a few days, with agile crews leapfrogging between checkpoints to keep up with the unpredictable pace of the race.
Our modular production structure—combined with real-time logging and challenge-based edit blocks—allowed us to move straight into post, episode by episode, while still filming the next. This gave us breathing room to fine-tune story arcs, comedy beats, and episode rhythm without slowing down delivery.
The result: high-energy episodes that feel as fresh and fast as the format itself.
Content discovery
Hyperlocal by design. Nation wide in impact. From the very start, Let’s Play Ball was built for visibility. As the balls rolled through town squares and rural villages, local media lit up—covering the spectacle in print, on radio, and across regional news outlets. Each shooting location became its own buzz generator, reaching millions organically—long before the first promo even aired.
By turning every episode into a local happening, the format grew roots in the country before it ever hit broadcast. A true grassroots launch, built to scale.
