Rainbow Rumble is a Philippine television game show broadcast by Kapamilya Channel. Hosted by Luis Manzano and Negi, contestants compete in a game of luck and strategy for a ₱ 1 million grand prize.
The series premiered for two seasons, with the first season airing on Yes Weekend from July 20, 2024 to March 23, 2025, and the second season airing from June 28, 2025 to April 12, 2026. The show was cancelled after two seasons.
Background Back on October 14, 2023, ABS-CBN aired its short-lived program It's Your Lucky Day, airing merely 12 days. One of said segments was "Pot Luck", whereas five contestants are randomly picked and answered one of a set of 100 trivia-based questions of varying difficulties from a pot, and the contestant who first getting three correct answers wins the game. It's Your Lucky Day indefinitely ceased production 12 days later under the instruction of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
Gameplay Rally to the Top
In each episode, five contestants, dubbed as rumblers, are positioned randomly in a flooring of the five-level triangular pyramid stage, which features 15 different cash amounts (ranging between ₱1,000 and ₱25,000) and varying colored spaces (of up to three different colors), with the lower amounts placing on the bottom to the top. Another board, "rally board", contains a set of 50 questions to choose from throughout the game, also with varying difficulties and types.
One question number from the board is selected, which presented a question and contestants must buzz-in first before providing an answer (if they already know the answer before the question is fully read). If they are correct, the contestant took control of a Die Rolling Machine (DRM), a centrifugal fan machine containing a six-sided die containing six different colors (of red, blue, green, yellow, purple and pink), and whatever the die rolls on will determine the space they will occupy and the money they banked (for example, if the contestant rolls a red color die, the contestant will land on the space containing the red color). If they are incorrect, or did not answer the question within three seconds, other contestants can buzz-in to take the question; however, if the second contestant also did not answer the question correctly, the question is discarded from play. The first question pick from the rally board is usually determined by the host Manzano itself, but subsequent picks are decided by the contestant who either answered the last question correctly or chose the previous question number.
One tile contains a "lucky tile", usually hidden among the tiles from the first two levels (and on occasions, tiles from the third level), which was presented to the viewers in advance prior to the start of each round, and to the contestants if the tile is unused at the end of the round. When stepped on by the contestant, various benefits will occur in different seasons: In season one, the lucky tile allows the contestant choose one space from the next row of the contestant's discretion; in season two, spaces of the same color matching the lucky tile that have been previously occupied by the contestant will double. Also in season two, some episodes features a variant lucky tile, Aginaldo (), allowing one contestant to win a prize if they choose one among the five spaces (these tiles are not revealed to the audience prior). Another advantage introduced in season two is Atras, which force one opponent to push back a space; Atras can be used at any time if desired during the first four levels.
If the roll results in a color that is not among the spaces from the next row, they will stay in that space and play resumes as normal (for example, if the contestant rolls a blue but no spaces contain the blue color, the contestant stays put). If that space has been occupied by another contestant, a "Tile Breaker" question is asked and the first contestant to identify the color assumes control of the space while the losing contestant will switch places, if the incumbent have been unseated. In season one, only one question may be challenged in any space except for those spaces with three colors (those of the top two levels), but this restriction is removed in season two.
The fifth and final level comprises only one space, which is always a three-colored space and is worth ₱25,000. Unlike other spaces, it cannot be directly landed on, as the contestant must also answer the question correctly, and either have land on, or roll the die, of any one the three colors, in order to land on it and win the game. Any winnings by the contestants are guaranteed based on the spaces they previously occupied at the end of the round, or with consolation prizes instead if the contestant did not win anything; the winner advances to Rainbow Revealed.
Rainbow Revealed The contestant first faced a Rapid Rumble round for a chance at an advantage in the bonus round, by answering any three out of six questions correctly, non-consecutive. In the first season, a correct answer added two seconds to the timer, but the second season offers an advantage by choosing a free color of their choice. The Rapid Rumble round was absent on two episodes, being the first and the 31st episodes, both of season one.
After the Rapid Rumble was complete, six DRMs will be activated and the contestant is given 60 seconds to stop each of the DRMs. The objective is that the six dice must land on unique colors in no particular order, and one die must be stopped before they can move on to the next die. If any dice lands on the same color, they must return to that die and roll again if time permits. ₱5,000 is awarded to the contestant for every die of unique color they landed on, and if all six dice lands on six different unique colors, the contestant is "Rainbow Unlocked" and they win the ₱1 million grand prize, and the title of "Rainbow Rumble Master".
The theoretical maximum amount they can win in this game is ₱1,070,000 in season one, and ₱1,078,000 in season two.

Series overview
Development and production The series was first teased on ABS-CBN's social media accounts in late June 2024, with a video asking the viewer a question in Filipino: "Ano ito na makulay, at kapag makarating ka sa dulo, may naghihintay na malaking papremyo?" (What is it that is colorful, and when you get to the end, there is a big prize waiting?). More information about the series was later announced at the beginning of July, when Luis Manzano renewed his contract with ABS-CBN on July 2, 2024. Furthermore, it was mentioned that the game resembles and pays homage to the pyramid format of Pilipinas, Game KNB?.
Broadcast The first season aired on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5 from July 20, 2024, to March 23, 2025, replacing the fifth season of I Can See Your Voice and was replaced by the seventh season of Pilipinas Got Talent. The second season aired from June 28, 2025 to April 12, 2026, taking over the timeslot held by Rated Korina and Tao Po!, with the season also simulcasting on All TV, thus marking the return of fresh ABS-CBN produced game show offerings to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels previously used by the latter until 2020. This occurred just a year and 2 months after ABS-CBN Corporation and All TV's owner, Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS), signed content agreements to air ABS-CBN programs on All TV.
The series is also available on-demand on iWant and internationally on TFC.

Contestants As of April 12, 2026, Rainbow Rumble has featured a total of 530 players (or Rumblers, as used by the show) across 106 episodes—250 from the first season and 280 from the second season, with 18 making subsequent appearances.
Team names with alternate titles are listed below their official team names as used in the show; these alternates reflect the names they are commonly known by. For example, the "News Personalities" groups (1, 3, 2, 8 & 41) may be referred to as "ABS-CBN News Personalities" since its members are from ABS-CBN, while the "Online Hosts" may also be called "Showtime Online Ü Hosts" (1, 25) as they are affiliated with the noontime variety show It's Showtime. Moreover, during the first season of Rainbow Rumble on TV5, there was also a "Morning Show Hosts" group (1, 34) composed of several hosts from Gud Morning Kapatid, which helped promote the program on both TV5 and RPTV. Notably, RPTV’s free-TV partner, RPN, utilizes multiple channel frequencies and broadcasting facilities, including Channel 9, which was previously operated by Rainbow Rumble producer ABS-CBN from 1958 to 1969.
In the case of groups with the same name (for example, two groups of casts from Pamilya Sagrado, Lavender Fields, and Sins of the Father; two groups of housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11, two groups of Sexy Stars, three groups of casts from Goin' Bulilit, three groups of housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, six groups of casts from That's Entertainment; and two groups of members from Bini with Mickey Perz and Matthew Almodovar, News Personalities, and SexBomb Girls), the first group to play will be numbered one (1), followed by two (2), and so on (if there are any more groups from the same subject).
Beginning with the second season, an italicized name indicates a returning player from previous episodes.
Rumblers that do not bank any money during the elimination round (signified with the value of ) receive consolation prizes.
