MBN to Air Room-Taking Game Show 'Battle in the Box' in December

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] MBN is launching a reality game show called ‘Battle In The Box,’ where participants bet their rooms and compete in games.

On the 1st, MBN announced that ‘Battle In The Box,’ in which two close celebrity friends team up to play games, will be broadcast later this month.

In ‘Battle In The Box,’ two close celebrity friends form one team, and two teams each start cohabiting in an 8.5-pyeong (approximately 28 square meters) studio apartment-style space. They participate in given games, and if they win, they can push the movable wall between the two teams to take over the rival team’s space. If they lose, their room size shrinks in this ‘high-tension’ room takeover battle.

Moreover, winning games not only expands the room size but also allows teams to acquire interior decorations and electronic appliances.

The games are organized into three types: solo challenges (‘1-person challenge’), two-person cooperative games (‘2-person cooperation’), and unlimited large-scale battles where participants can mobilize their entire network to face off (‘unlimited large-scale’ competition). The contestants live in the studio apartments for a total of 40 hours and participate in unannounced games every 6 hours.

Additionally, without interacting with the opposing team, they will engage in a tug-of-war-like contest, pushing and pulling the wall by expanding or shrinking their rooms through simple but intense nostalgic games.

‘Battle In The Box’ is produced with support from the Korea Creative Content Agency, and FOX Alternative Entertainment Studio in the United States, which purchased the format, plans to produce it next year.
