Team Ninki comprises Ninki (voiced by Kriselle Basilio), a dark-skinned 10-year old girl with bunches, a Mid-European accent and a singing voice that is commonly said to be "terrible" (although while introducing her team at the beginning of every episode she sings well) and Pip (vocal effects by unknown), a green-furred creature somewhat resembling a Scottish terrier with an extendable metal neck.In the race world and the story world sequences Kerwhizzitor commentates. Kerwhizzitor (created and played by Jacob Scipio) moderates the quiz, asks the questions, makes bad puns and rhymes based on the theme and tries to keep the teams in order.


Each episode ends with the winner of each race getting revealed, then some of the teams do activities based on the theme since they didn't race and the Kerwhizzitor saw what happened to some of the teams.Ĭharacters Questionmaster All of the teams are likely to encounter unexpected setbacks and opportunities along the way, making the outcome of each race unpredictable. Each race world is a themed racing environment (the questions usually include clues to the theme) containing three or occasionally four zones and each story and race comprises two or occasionally three laps (except in "The Deserted Desert Dash" which is a novelty race with no set route and a hidden finish line). The pods are then raised through the roof of the studio into the CGI race world. Once the question rounds are complete, the teams choose their pod mods and then the teams' pods are assembled and built around them and their respective pod mods are installed, fitted and added to their pods. The teams also score points focused on how many questions they answered correctly.Īll of the questions are multiple-choice with the answers colour-coded red, green, yellow or blue (not coincidentally, these are the standard colours of the function buttons on TV remote controls). The teams are cheered on by three groups of live-action children dressed in the teams' colours and waving team flags. Each pod mod and mystery mod is an unconventional accessory that may or may not give its user a better chance of winning the race. In addition, one of the five rounds offer the chance to win a mystery pod mod. Three teams of two CGI characters, each comprising a human child racer and a part-living, part-mechanical animal pet, must answer five rounds of questions, each featuring a regular 2D animated animal character, to win a choice of pod mod for their respective racing pods. The show is moderated and presented by Kerwhizzitor ( Jacob Scipio), the only regular live-action character. The series uses a mix of CGI and Live action, and is targeted towards four to six-year-olds. Kerwhizz (strapline: The Quiz with added Whizz) is a live-action animated British children's television game show which originally aired on CBeebies between 20.
