CBBC Commissions Arts-Based Game Show – Relic

Due to air early next year, Relic sounds like a cross between The Crystal Maze and The Da Vinci Code! Set in the British Museum, a team of children must “complete complex challenges and confront visions from the past in their quest for answers.”  The show will weave in topics from The Arts and History, giving this runaround a more educational slant.  Thirteen 30-minute shows are to be produced.

I used to really enjoy shows like Knightmare and The Crystal Maze, and I hope that these immersive game shows for kids will make a comeback, where the audience is challenged as well as the contestants.
