Game Ka Na Ba?, (lit. 'Are you Game?') formerly Pilipinas Game Ka Na Ba (stylized on short term as Game KNB?) is a Philippine game show created by ABS-CBN. The main goal of the game is to win 2 million pesos (either 1 million, progressive jackpot, or a brand new car in earlier versions) by answering trivia questions.

The show first aired on October 8, 2001, as Game Ka Na Ba? on the primetime block of ABS-CBN. It was renamed Million-Million Na! Game Ka Na Ba? the following year after a multi-million progressive jackpot was introduced. In 2003, it was renamed Next Level Na! Game Ka Na Ba?, and a physical round was introduced. The show moved to the noontime block on November 15, 2004, and was renamed Pilipinas, Game Ka Na Ba?; it was hosted by Kris Aquino from its premiere until March 3, 2007, to concentrate on Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal. She was replaced by Edu Manzano on March 5, 2007, until the end of its original run on October 23, 2009. It also aired internationally on The Filipino Channel.

The show was revived on October 12, 2020, on Jeepney TV. It is hosted by Robi Domingo.

The KNB in the stylized title of the game show stands for ka na ba ("are you" in English), making the full title Pilipinas, Game Ka Na Ba? (literally, Philippines, Are You Ready [to Play]?). The KNB is derived from SMS language, along with the Nokia-derived chiptune theme song which was in keeping with the original game show's cellular phone-centric theme at the time when text messaging started becoming popular in the Philippines.
