The Joker (/ðə yoʊkər/) is a token that can be used in the Dutch television reality show Wie Ist De Mol. It is also a Competitor on Wiki Camp 2.

The Joker is a wooden puck around 1 decimeter in diameter. On its front is also a wood-burned logo of Wie ist De Mol. During Wiki Camp 2, it also has 2 black legs sprouting from the "bottom" of the token when the logo is right side up vertically; as well as a face on the front overtop of the logo.

Candidates could earn Jokers in a variety of ways, from finding them during Tasks, earning them through deals, and other special ways.

Us e

Upon use, it overrides one incorrect answer on The Test, and turns it into a correct one for the purposes of scoring. Multiple Jokers could be used at a time. However, if the contestant scored perfectly on the test (or if the use of a Joker brought it to perfect marks,) any further Jokers used are wasted. In Season 19, each Joker could be opened up for the chance of finding an Exception inside. Regardless of the outcome, broken open jokers became no longer usable during the test.

Coverage

Challenge 1

The Joker came in rather late to the party in Challenge 1, arriving to the wiki with only about a day left on the clock, and having no prior knowledge of how wiki editing worked. Thankfully, [Toasty|I] helped them out when they asked me for some pointers in where to start with wiki editing. There was a lot of strife to be had going around, as The Joker did not want to be mistaken for the popular DC villain. However, they persevered. Going to bed and knowing there'd be no time left in the morning, The Joker completed a rather rudimentary yet still charming and functional Wiki Page for themselves. Though there were red links abound, it was a decent introduction to the game.

Trivia

• In Season 19, candidate Niels put together a broken open Joker and swapped one of Evelein's jokers with it. Because of this, she unknowingly used it during The Test, and it was rendered null. Evelein was Executed that episode, and it is theorized that if she had used a proper Joker, she would have been safe.
• In Season 21, the first challenge ended with giving each candidate an offer: hand in the money they had earned that challenge (€250) and get a "Free Joker." However, the candidates that did hand in the money received instead "The Joker" card from a standard 54-card playing card deck. Functionally useless.
