About this sound

The Chase TV theme for trivia edits and timed reveals, perfect for tense countdowns, wrong answers and moments when a contestant faces the Chaser.

This is the dramatic quiz show sting associated with The Chase, built around a tense, pulsing build that feels like a timer running down. The music pushes forward with sharp hits and a rising sense of pressure, mimicking the moment a contestant is locked in against the Chaser. It is instantly recognisable to fans of the format because it turns an ordinary question into a high stakes duel. Creators use that built in suspense to make trivia clips, classroom quizzes and everyday decisions feel far more serious and funny than they really are.

Pro tip

Start the clip just before a question is revealed and let the full build play under a freeze frame of the contestant thinking. Cut hard on the final hit for the answer reveal, and do not loop it or it loses the countdown pressure.

How people use it

Drop it under classroom trivia for instant game show tension.
Use it before revealing a wrong answer in quiz edits.
Play it during family game night score announcements and finals.
Add it to parody chases where someone races the clock.

More information

The Chase began as a British ITV quiz show in 2009, hosted by Bradley Walsh, where contestants answer general knowledge questions then race a professional quizzer known as the Chaser. The format was exported worldwide, including Potjera in Croatia, Gefragt Gejagt in Germany and El Cazador in Spain, which explains the many international titles attached to this sound. Its tense music became shorthand online for any head to head trivia battle, so the clip keeps circulating in edits long after broadcast.
