NBC plans 'The Million Second Quiz' twelve day, 24 / 7 game show

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/the-million-second-quiz-nbc.jpg Second screen experiences connected to TV shows haven’t exactly set the world on fire, but NBC will give it another try with a new game show this fall. The Million Second Quiz is being promoted as a non-stop, twelve day trivia game with an “unprecedented level of interactivity” for viewers. In a move that harkens back to our memories of* 1 vs 100* on Xbox Live a few years ago, viewers at home can play along and possibly win a spot on the show. While the competition will go on around the clock, the show airs during prime time. It will broadcast live from an “hourglass-shaped structure” located in Manhattan where the four reigning champs will reside as long as they can stay on top throughout the two week competition. Once the million seconds are up, the four champions will face off for a cash prize of up to $10 million. We’ll need more details before we can decide if this is more Ultimate Ninja Warrior or *Oh Sit! / Splash / Bet On Your Baby *(these are all real game shows, we promise), but it’s one to keep an eye out for when the all new shows debut.
