Korea’s Something Special has picked up the rights for the reality game show The Penthouse Game, which aired in July 2022 on Channel A and local streamer WAVVE.
The format features individuals going through financial difficulties competing for a cash prize. Players utilize gold tokens and move around a penthouse using the elevator in the middle. Three hosts play different key roles in the show.
Jin Woo Hwang, Something Special’s president and executive producer, said: “Something Special is pleased to announce acquisitions for international licensing. We are honored that producers come to Something Special to take their shows out of Korea. The Penthouse Game is already gaining traction in Korea and select markets, and both are set to be audience favorites.”
