Endemol Shine masters puzzle show

MIPTV: Global production and distribution giant Endemol Shine Group (ESG) has added a gameshow developed by its Chinese arm and China’s Vision Media to its sales slate.

ESG has taken global distribution rights to Puzzle Masters, an original format created by Vision and Endemol Shine China.

The original show launched in January on Jiangsu Satellite TV in China in Friday primetime and is a competition for young puzzle wizards who want to be mentored by the most experienced puzzle solvers in the world.

Endemol Shine China, which was founded in 2015, and Vision Media have previously collaborated on a Chinese version of The Brain, the format that sees contestants compete against each other in mental and physical challenges.
