Having recently announced the action-packed new gameshow format, Beat the Rooms, Nippon TV announced today that the format they developed together with Red Arrow Studios entitled Block Out has been licensed to Zense Entertainment, a leading Thailand-based production company. Block Out, a comical physical game show, will start airing this July on Thailand's Channel 7 on their 17:15-18:00 slot (Monday to Friday, everyday) with more than 100 episodes currently planned.

Atsushi Sogo, President, International Business Development, Nippon TV said: 
"My formats team and I are delighted to have Zense Entertainment, a young and very promising production company, produce the Thai version of our super exciting game show, Block Out. This format was born from a segment of our popular show "Pharaoh!"; it is developed and distributed by Nippon TV, in association with Red Arrow Studios, who we co-developed our latest format "Beat the Rooms!". "Pharaoh!" is enjoying its 5th season on Hunan TV, China, and had also been adapted in other countries as well. Block Outtakes the best laughter and action essence from "Pharaoh!" and is sure to make Thai audience laugh every night of the week. We will provide our best services in making sure Zense Entertainment creates a hit show for Channel 7."

Quote from Zense Entertainment (Mr. Varavuth Jentanakul, Chairman & CEO)

It is such an honor for us to have a chance collaborating with Nippon TV, Japan's giant television company, in bringing its Block Out TV format alive. This is an exciting moment for us as this is such a fun filled quiz show format incorporating an innovative physical game structure with high tension and entertainment at its core. Zense Entertainment, with our top class creative team, will make it a big hit show here in Thailand.

In each episode of Block Out, two teams of four players are battling each other in a variety of amusing physical games, combining trivia, strategy, chance and mostly- countless epic falls. Each team plays on a separate wall which ends in a dark, endless pit. There are five rounds in this game, each round will reward the winning-team with points which will be converted into centimetres. The teams' goal is to reach the final with the most centimetres. The five rounds include "Pop-Ups," "Peek-A-Boo," "Russian Roulette," "Crossover," and "The Drop Out."
