CBS, Ludia Team for "The Amazing Race" Video Game

A North American deal between CBS Consumer Products and Ludia will see a range of "The Amazing Race" video games for all platforms coinciding with the series' 14^th season.

"The heart-pounding adventure, around-the-world competition and postcard-worthy settings of 'The Amazing Race' are perfectly suited for video game adaptation," says Alex Thabet, Ludia's founder and chief executive officer. "We are thrilled to add such a high-energy, suspenseful franchise to our slate, and we will infuse those key elements into a highly social, team-based multiplayer game that unites duos in cooperative game play to compete against rivals."

Montreal-based Ludia also has developed games for "American Idol," "Hell's Kitchen," "Press Your Luck," "The Price is Right" and Where's Waldo.

"The Amazing Race" airs on Sundays on CBS.
