Gatekeepers (小兵迎大将) is a Singaporean Chinese language game show which aired in 2010 on MediaCorp Channel 8. The series aired on Tuesday nights at 8:00pm. Hosted by Guo Liang along with Dennis Chew (as "Aunty Lucy"), each episode features 36 Primary 5 and 6 students from a primary school who are challenged with the task of "defending" a cash prize of S$18,000 for their school.

The show was nominated for the Best Variety Show award at the Star Awards 2011.

Rules

Each student is seated in a cubicle and "guards" S$500 against three adult personalities. Once a student gives the wrong response to a question, the lights in his cubicle will be extinguished and he or she may no longer compete in the game. The S$500 they are helping to guard, will also be lost. If the personality gets the question correct, the total sum of money from the eliminated students will go to the personalities. When a guest answers a maximum streak of 8 questions correctly, or answers a question incorrectly, he must step down. The game ends when all members of either side have been eliminated. The team with at least a member remaining wins the game and wins the money they have left (students) or accumulated (personalities).

The money won by the students goes to their school while the money won by the personalities goes to a charity of their choice.

All questions asked in the show are based on the national curriculum taught in Singaporean schools.

• Note: Due to the online feud (between Guo Liang and Elvin Ng) over comments exchanged in the dressing room during filming of the series Breakout, the third episode's trailer show which sparked the feud even further was broadcast. Hence, the episode was being rated as Parental Guidance, and ratings were lower than usual.
