The top 1% of students from five prestigious universities in Korea (Seoul National University, KAIST, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Yonsei University, Korea University) participate, and only utilize brain power (mental calculations, calculations, reasoning, games, memorization, etc.) without politics, betrayal, alliances, or deception.

Short and thrilling competition for creative logical and number puzzles lovers
I enjoyed the logic and number puzzles here as it was interesting to see how they made simple concepts/ games into a complicated one (e.g. a rock scissors paper game into a game about memorization and object permance). The most interesting part for me was when the participants talk about their approaches, shortcut methods and tricks which makes me gasped at how their brain words like GENIUSES!! And also so that I can use these methods next time if I ever come across puzzles like this LOL (which is probably never). I also appreciated that theres NO games where they had the participants scheming against one another, like a mafia game, or alliances (where the weak participants team up to eliminate the smart ones that we want to see early in the game). As much as how the participants were geniuses, I must commend on how the writer is a genius for creating such creative games (but no surprise because the writer was The Genius's writer).I am also glad to see how well different teams work together, considering the fact that most of them met each other only through the show. I absolutely loved the dynamic of Team KU and SNU and felt that they have great teamwork.
Overall, I highly recommend this short and binge-able 8 episodes intelligence competition with geniuses competing with one another if you love puzzles and this type of reality shows!

Breath of fresh air among tv competitions.
This has just become my favorite reality tv competition easily. I truly hope we get more seasons!All in all, I think viewers who like math and logic challenges will wholeheartedly enjoy this.
Not a single boring segment, which is even more impressive given the fact that this is a competition that focuses on logic and math challenges and in the abilities of the participants and their strategies, instead of focusing on dramatic fights or scheming.
Another big plus is that the contestants were all great, all very worthy and brilliant, so I rooted for each team at least once. It’s crazy how smart some of these contestants were, they are literal geniuses. I’m in awe of them.
My only warning is that this is super bingeable and it is hard to stop watching between episodes!
