Discovery plugs in Atari gameshow

Discovery Science in Europe has commissioned an interactive gameshow with video game pioneer Atari that will initially air in the UK and Poland.

The Discovery Communications-owned channel has greenlit Atari: Codebreaker, which will launch this autumn before rolling out into other European territories.

Atari was launched in 1972 and became an early giant of the video game industry, creating successful games as well as arcades, games consoles and personal computers.

The show will take the form of a quiz imagined for the Atari generation and their families. It will consist of four rounds, the first two featuring questions on science topics, with the winning teams going head-to-head in a battle to find the combination to a safe containing prizes.

Shortform content taking viewers behind the scenes of the show will be available via a dedicated website. Atari Media Production and TH Films are producing.
