Australian Exclusive: Australia’s Eureka Productions (Holey Moley, The Amazing Race Australia, Name That Tune, Crikey! It’s the Irwins, Drunk History Australia) will film another larger-than-life physical game show for the USA, based on iconic 1980’s video game, Frogger.

Production will take place in Sydney in May on a huge purpose-built obstacle course, to screen on NBC-owned Peacock streaming service.

Audiences and contestants alike will be transported into a wild, whimsical Frogger world, comprising twelve outrageous obstacle courses or “crossings.” Physically-demanding challenges will see contestants dodge treacherous traffic, leap over snapping gators and hop over hungry hippos to conquer the course.

13 hour-long episodes have been ordered with contestants to include US expats based in Australia.

Produced in conjunction with rights holders Konami, Frogger is based on one of the most classic and beloved video game franchises of all time.

Frogger, based on the Konami-owned IP, is produced by Eureka Productions in partnership with Konami Cross Media NY, Inc. Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin will executive produce for Eureka Productions. The Frogger competition show is an original format created by Chris Culvenor of Eureka Productions.

      1. Regardless of what else is said here, this comment wins the thread!

        That said, I think this sounds so ridiculous, it’ll be brilliant. But once a week, please!

  3. Seriously though, would be great companion programming for 10 Wednesday nights once The Cube finishes its run @7:30..or maybe a good intro for Gogglebox on Thursday’s… infrastructure will be there, so just need a host and limit it to 8 episodes. What’s Grant doing in June ?
