Available as a free download through the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore beginning today, AMC Movie Trivia Game Show features four new movie-themed puzzles every day, along with thousands of additional movie trivia challenges available within the app. Players solve each puzzle by determining a single “solve word,” testing their knowledge of movie history, iconic characters, memorable quotes, franchises, filmmakers, and more. This unique “solve word” puzzle logic, invented by David L. Hoyt, puts a whole new spin on movie trivia.
AMC Movie Trivia Game Show also integrates with AMC Stubs, providing exclusive in-game bonuses and puzzle-solving benefits for members of AMC's loyalty program.
"Movie fans love putting their film knowledge to the test, and AMC Movie Trivia Game Show gives them a thrilling new way to do that every day," said Ellen Copaken, SVP, Business Development, AMC. "As AMC's first mobile gaming experience, this app reflects our continued focus on finding new ways to connect and engage with moviegoers beyond the auditorium while creating additional value for AMC Stubs members."
AMC Movie Trivia Game Show was created in collaboration with Hoyt Games and David L. Hoyt, whose newspaper, digital and mobile games are played by millions of people every day. Hoyt is the author of Jumble, the world's most widely played daily word puzzle, as well as the inventor and author of USA TODAY Word Roundup and USA TODAY Up & Down Words. He also created See & Solve Trivia Game Show and founded the David L. Hoyt Education Foundation, which promotes play-based and collaborative learning.
“I really love movies, so teaming up with AMC Theatres to create what I believe is the best movie trivia game of all time is a dream come true,” said David L. Hoyt. “Our unique “solve word” logic lets us do something really different—create puzzles that are fun to solve while helping players discover fascinating things about movies and Hollywood they never knew before. I absolutely love that!”

Well, hot diggity, it's back again!!!!!!
Not only will it be a spooky edition but the 2nd to last episode of season 1. So far, growth is booming and RTE America might edit down to a 90 minute show during the twixmas break, but it'll be more scarier than.........the vanilla dome ghost house. I'm not lying, One contestant looking to get the W is Emma Finn. she's a stand up comic and here's what she does.
Will Emma get the last laugh....or will the other 3 laugh at her thinking it's a joke? Only one way to find out is by watching it 10/26 on Youtube and Twitch. Costumes needed.

Fremantle today announces the international rollout of a new high-stakes entertainment format Stacks of Cash, confirming series commissions from CBS in the US and the Seven Network in Australia.
Created and produced by Eureka (Wonka: The Golden Ticket; Holey Moley; The Floor; Farmer Wants A Wife) and represented globally by Fremantle, Stacks of Cash supersizes the addictive fun of stacking games, built into a primetime spectacle of a nail-biting game show, with instant family play-along.
Contestants answer general knowledge questions to win giant shapes worth real cash, then use an enormous claw to build an increasingly teetering tower. But they never know which of the 30+ shapes is coming next - a circle, a teddy bear, a top hat - the sheer variety makes stacking increasingly challenging as the tower rises. As the money grows, so does the tower, creating can’t-look-away suspense as every new shape leaves one question hanging in the balance: will it stay or will it fall?
For US broadcaster CBS, a new series is hosted by Emmy Award-nominated actor Mike O’Malley. For Australian broadcaster Seven, a new series has been commissioned, with host details to be announced
. The format has seen early success with the European debut of the show this summer on Portuguese broadcaster TVI. Locally titled Linha D'Ouro the launch episode ranked number one in its timeslot across total viewers, commercial target and young adults, whilst multiple episodes also claimed TVI’s number one show of the day.
All three territories were filmed at the dedicated Stacks of Cash production hub based in Portugal, enabling multiple international adaptations to be produced from a single world-class location while maximising creative collaboration, production efficiencies and global scale.
Chris Culvenor, Co-CEO Eureka Studios said: "Everyone has played a stacking game on their phone. We brought it to life with giant teetering towers and combined it with a rapid-fire quiz. It's a massive primetime format that looks like nothing else on TV, and will have the whole family playing along. We're thrilled CBS and Seven have backed it, and we can't wait to see the format keep stacking up around the world."
Ben Crompton, Head of Global Entertainment, Fremantle said: “Stacks of Cash is a real edge-of-your-seat gameshow with huge set pieces and a unique visual identity: exactly the kind of big, instantly playable entertainment that can bring viewers together, shouting at the TV. By combining the brilliant creative brains at Eureka with Fremantle’s global network, we created a production model that we know buyers are looking for; delivering both scale and value. These commissions from CBS and Seven, alongside the fantastic response on TVI, shows a real vote of confidence in the format’s international potential.”
Stacks of Cash will be presented by Fremantle at MIPCOM in Cannes as part of a wide-ranging global slate, including another new format from Eureka, The Tunnel, alongside unveiling a raft of brand-new game shows, dating formats and more. Recent entertainment launches by Fremantle include the UK streaming hit Handcuffed and supersized comedy Holey Moley. Stacks of Cash is based on a format developed by Eureka Studios Group Pty Ltd and Seven Network (Operations) Limited. Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Rikkie Proost, Sonya Wilkes, David Tibballs, Ves D’Elia and Ed Egan are executive producers.

2 reality staples of the Tiffany network still standing tall!
The season openers for CBS’ “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race” soared double digits over last year in delayed viewing.
Following its milestone Season 50, the Season 51 debut of “Survivor,” which dropped on Wednesday, Sept. 23, brought in 6.9 million viewers across three days of multiplatform viewing, according to Nielsen figures. That’s up 13% over the Season 49 premiere, which brought in 6.1 million viewers in fall 2025.
Likewise, as “The Amazing Race” premiered its 39th season the following Wednesday on Sept. 30, the opener scored 4.6 million viewers across three days of viewing, rising 21% from the fall 2025 debut, which brought in 3.8 million viewers.
And elsewhere on CBS’ unscripted slate, the “Big Brother” Season 26 finale also benefitted from delayed viewing following its Oct. 1 debut. The season concluded with 5.1 million viewers tuning in for the finale across three days of multiplatform viewing, rising 7% from the season’s average viewership of 4.75 million.
During “Big Brother” Season 28, the competition series celebrated its milestone 1000th episode, becoming the first primetime series ever to reach 1,000 original episodes and even earned two Guinness World Records titles.

American audiences are buying into NBCUniversal’s expansion of The Traitors. The Traitors: New Blood has raked in more than 7 million new cross-platform viewers to the franchise within its first two weeks, according to internal data. That’s a 45% expansion of the franchise’s cross-platform reach, bringing it to more than 22 million total viewers, NBCU says.
Per the company, 65% of New Blood’s multi-platform audience was new to The Traitors franchise. Linear contributed the greatest share, expectedly since the series’ launch on broadcast was the big draw here.
The series is picking up traction on streaming, as well, likely among the audience that is already used to watching The Traitors U.S. version (which features a celebrity cast) on Peacock. Nielsen data shows that New Blood ranked as the No. 1 next-day broadcast season on streaming during the week of Sept. 21 based on minutes viewed.

Here's a new meaning to the term "Save to Win."
Japanese game show “Save Money” has been acquired by NBCUniversal Formats, a division of Universal Studio Group.
The company snapped up the worldwide format distribution rights outside of Japan.
The show was developed and produced by Chukyo TV. The game sees contestants given a large cash prize which has the potential to be slowly depleted as they answer questions about the price of items from other countries. The difference between the actual value and the contestant’s answer is deducted from their winnings, meaning the closer they get to the end of the game the more money they’re seeking to protect.
“‘Save Money’ has a brilliantly simple premise that makes it instantly engaging and easy to play along with,” said Linfield Ng, NBCUniversal Formats sales VP. “Chukyo TV has created a fun, high-stakes game with a universal hook that we believe will translate brilliantly for audiences around the world. It’s another exciting addition to our growing slate of formats from Asia, a region that continues to be an important focus for us as we bring fresh, distinctive ideas to the international market.”
The show has aired more than 20 episodes across the Nippon Television Network in Japan, with Season 1 averaging two million viewers per episode. The show has ranked no. 1 in its timeslot on Japanese terrestrial TV.

Ready your wands for a new season of the magical fan-favorite series, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, premiering Wednesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network and HBO Max, and rolling out globally with international premiere dates and times to be announced. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic first film in the series, the new season introduces a tournament twist with four teams of three, each representing one of the four Hogwarts Houses - Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Comprised of returning competitors, each team will feature cake artists, bakers, and pastry chefs, who have previously proven their talent and passion for Harry Potter, though none has ever lifted the Wizards of Baking Cup in victory. Also new this season, hosts James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) are joined by two new "Ministers of Baking," cake royalty Duff Goldman and celebrated pastry chef Sarah Mountain who will judge the teams' showpieces and determine which House will earn the trophy and a once-in-a-lifetime VIP trip to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter (also known as Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo).
"We're so excited for all Harry Potter and baking show fans across the world to see this season's amazing showpieces," said Oliver Phelps. "The all-star teams will leave our audience spellbound."
Added James Phelps, "We feel like the luckiest hosts because we get to be part of this fun tournament, with some of the world's best bakers and chefs, and celebrate the anniversary of the first film in a series that sparked a global phenomenon."
This is only the beginning of a bountiful holiday slate from Food Network.
The merriment begins on Monday, November 2nd at 8pm ET/PT with the premiere of Holiday Baking Championship. Host Jesse Palmer welcomes twelve bakers to Santa's Village, the bustling campus at the North Pole where holiday magic is serious business. Throughout the season, the bakers must prove they have the creativity, skill, and teamwork needed to support the big boss himself. Every challenge is designed to help Santa and his operation succeed, from creating festive treats to solving delicious holiday dilemmas. The competition begins with a team-building phase inspired by Santa's belief that great things happen when people work together, and the bakers are divided into the Elf Squad and the Reindeer Crew. But once the teams dissolve, the competition becomes every baker for themselves. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown and Molly Yeh decide which talented baker will earn the title of Holiday Baking Champion and win $25,000.
The ultimate holiday present returns Sunday, November 8th at 8pm ET/PT when Guy Fieri combines everyone's favorite culinary competition with the most wonderful time of the year in Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas. Thirty-two jingle-bell-rockstar chefs are teaming up as duos to make both sweet and savory dishes in a one-of-a-kind holly jolly tournament. These chefs will try to sleigh the competition all for a shot at the $100,000 prize and some seriously sweet charity cash. With festive flavors, fierce battles, and enough Christmas spirit to stuff a stocking, the holidays have never been this delicious. Competing teams include Jet Tila and Alex Guarnaschelli; Ashley Holt and Britt Rescigno; Tobias Dorzon and Kenny Gilbert; Marcel Vigneron and Hung Huynh; Kevin Lee and Shota Nakajima; Dale Talde and TJ Obias; Mei Lin and Alex Stupak; Sara Bradley and Nini Nguyen; Stephanie Izard and Damaris Phillips; Gabe Bertaccini and Zac Young; Aaron May and Adam Sobel; Grace Pak and Rocco DiSpirito; Curtis Stone and Mitzi Reyes; Brian Malarkey and Carlos Anthony; Stephanie Boswell and Aarti Sequeira; and Molly Coen and Chayil Johnson. Each week, Hunter Fieri and commentators Tiffani Faison and Justin Warner provide insight into each team's strategy.
In holiday episodes of the baking game show Sweet Deceit, premiering Monday, November 16th at 9pm ET/PT, host Josh Peck challenges teams of three competitors to search for deceptive, hyper-realistic sweets hiding in plain sight in real-world holiday-themed locations. Josh hilariously commands the on-screen hijinks as he leads contestants through four rounds as they try to identify masterfully disguised sweets created by world-class cake artists. Escalating in difficulty round by round, the teams work together to determine what is cake and prove it with their teeth by biting into their best guess, all in pursuit of a total prize up to $12,000. The cheer-filled episodes feature locations including a cozy cabin, a festive ice rink, Santa's workshop and more. Across the season, Josh is joined by a rotating group of elite cake artists specializing in edible illusions, including Jose Barajas, Jonny 'Jonny Cakes' Manganello, Andrew Fuller, Ashley Holt, April Julian and Liz Marek.
Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown returns with a twist on Tuesday, November 17th at 8pm ET/PT and this season, it's Team Bobby Flay vs. Team Brooke Williamson as the culinary icons host the ultimate holiday party with festive food, outrageous games, and fierce competition. In this girls vs. guys battle, Brooke joins forces with chefs Antonia Lofaso and Ayesha Nurdjaja, while Bobby teams up with chefs Michael Voltaggio and Michael Jenkins. Each week, eager guests arrive ready to join the teams to celebrate, but as the cocktails flow, holiday traditions are put to the test, team pride takes over, and the party quickly spirals into an all-out culinary showdown. Guests include Gabe Bertaccini, Maneet Chauhan, Adrienne Cheatham, Leah Cohen, Tiffani Faison, Viet Pham, Damaris Phillips, Marcus Samuelsson, Jet Tila, Bryan Voltaggio, Geoffrey Zakarian and Claudette Zepeda.

And here we go with a Mistplay Game Break. Figure out this video game system that's a classic.
- It was released in 1982
- Smith Engineering invented the product
- Milton-Bradley acquired it in 1983.
- It had overlays to go with the game.
The vectrex. Another victim of the video game crash of 1984.
