Take the ‘Backup You Need’ challenge, the ultimate friendship quiz comprising of the first ever dunk machine over the River Thames where one of you will be hoisted 20 feet in the air…higher than a double-decker bus.

However, if you flunk and get too many questions wrong…then your beastie will dunk. How well you know each other and work together, is all that stands between you both jetting off or one of you drying off!
