EXCLUSIVE: There’s a new game show in play this fall. Scrambled Up will premiere September 8 in national syndication, hosted by comic and actor Michael Yo.
In Scrambled Up, four contestants solve jumbled-up words and phrases that unscramble before their eyes. As the tiles unscramble, the clues get easier. The first player to buzz in with the right answer has a shot at walking away with the $10,000 grand prize.
Airing Monday-Friday, the show from Playing Field Entertainment, Keller/Noll and Crazy Legs Productions has been cleared in 80% of the country including the top markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Production on the 160-episode order is set to start next month in Atlanta.
“Our goal is that Scrambled Up will become America’s new favorite word game,” said Cleve Keller, Co-President of Keller/Noll. “It has every single thing a classic game show needs. It’s filled with play-along, laughs, edge-of-your-seat drama and moments of pure joy.”
