A near-comprehensive list of death and death-like consequences in British Children's Gameshows
Y'know, in case you didn't think us british people were weird enough.
Shows in which death is the consequence for losing:
Terror Towers (1994-1996) - The losing team is eaten by werewolves (off screen). The death is perminant.
Knightmare (1987-1994) - The dungeoneers lose by dying in a variety of different - and graphic - ways. One death clause also effects their advisors. However they are ultimately resurected.
Raven (2002-2010) - The warriors are killed by demons or curses for failing the majority of challenges. However, they are ressurected afterwards, and ultimately leave the compition alive.
Raven: The Island (2006) - Losing warriors are killed if they fail a single challenge or do not attempt a challenge. The death is perminant.
Raven: The Secret Temple/The Dragon's Eye (2007, 2009) - Losing warriors are killed if they fail a single challenge. They are ressurected under certain conditions: 1) Their team has collected enough magic jewels to exchange for their life 2) They haven't been ressurected previously 3) Their elimination takes place during the first three weeks. But if any of the three conditions aren't fufilled, they are dead perminantly.
Prosiect Z/Project Z (2018-?) - Any child that get touched by a zombie becomes a zombie. If the team fails to crack the exit code and escape, they all become zombies. They are seen as zombies on screen, either in person (case A) or through an animation (case B).
Don't Unleash the Beast (2020-?) - Teams that fail to escape the treasure room in time are eaten by the eponymous beast (off screen). The death is perminant.
Fee Fi Fo Yum (2010-2011) - The losing team are eaten alive by the giant holding them captive (on screen). The death is perminant.
Den Of Doom (2007) - Losing kids are eaten by hyenas off screen, but their cooking is shown.
Shows in which a death-like outcome is the consequence for losing:
Escape from Scorpion Island (2007-2011) - The losing team has their souls trapped by the Island
Raven (2017-2018) - Instead of dying after challenges like in the original series, the warriors are sent to a dark dimension. They are still always returned, however.
Trapped!/Trapped! ever after (2007-2010) - Losing children are trapped in a tower of horrors forever.
Relic: Guardians of the Museum (2010) - Losing teams are imprisoned within the muesum exhibits forever.
Mission: 2110 (2010) - Losing children (bar those in 3rd and 4th place) are vapourised and sent to an unknown location in space and time and their safety is in question.
Jungle Run (1999-2006) - At various places in the jungle, failure in a single challenge can result in eternal imprisonment, the most prominant being the Temple of the Jungle King.
Sub Zero (1999-2001) - The losing team is either cryogenically frozen or (in later series) ejected into outer space (NOTE: This is unpleasant but also shown as survivable within the show).
Gwrach y Rhibyn (2022-) - Any losing team is captured by the titular Hag
Show in which death is the consequence for WINNING:
Mission: 2110 (2010) - Due to a continuity error, the winner appears to be vaporised instead of being sent home via time travel, which is what's supposed to happen.
Terror Towers (1994-1996) - The winners become ghosts who haunt the tower forever.
Honourable Mentions!
Splatalot (2011-2013) - The winners are assassinated (off-screen) soon after winning. While the show aired in Britian, as well as Canada and Australia, the assassination is only canon in the Canadian version.
Jedi Temple Challenge (2020) - An American gameshow, as The Mandalorian has canonised it as part of the Star Wars Universe and confirmed its place in the timeline, all the kids that win and become Jedi Knights, and possibly every kid that competes, presumably die in Order 66
To be updated as I find out about more

I just rediscovered part of my childhood I thought was lost.
As a kid this tv show really scared me, I googled it today turns out it’s called Trapped! and ran from 2007 to 2010 on CBBC.
Now the reason I hated Trapped! was because in my memory it was a show with a guy who was trapped at the top of the tower and there was a disembodied voice that’d trap kids inside having to solve puzzles, each kid gets left behind per floor until there’s one kid who gets to escape
and MY dumbass thought that because the weather was live tv and cartoons weren’t real everything with real people was happening somewhere in the word so little 4 year old me felt horrible for the kids who where trapped in the tower and was worried I’d get kidnapped and taken to the tower and never go home.
and I want to know if literally anyone but me and my sister reember because it scared the SHIT out of me as a kid.
