A new television game show is planned based on the board game Boggle. In development by Entertainment One, Keller/Noll, and Hasbro Studios, Boggle Battle will have three teams of contestants facing off over giant-sized Boggle boards. In the tabletop version, at least, the goal is to find as many words as you can—but different words from the other players—in a 4×4 grid of letter dice. The TV show’s game play will also involve special elimination rounds tied to pop-culture topics like Harry Potter, Marvel, and Game of Thrones.

No word yet on when or where the show will be broadcast.

John Adams has secured a license for a board game version of the ITV (U.K.) quiz show Tipping Point. Like the television show, the board game will incorporate a tipping point machine, a battery-operated device in to which players drop counters, hoping to stack up enough that other counters are pushed over the edge.
