'Double Dare' Returns to Nickelodeon in One Month!

Get ready for a summer full of Double Dare, as Nickelodeon sets Monday, June 25th, at 8:00 PM (ET/PT) as the premiere date for the iconic game show’s return. Digital creator and actress Liza Koshy has been tapped to host the brand-new version of Double Dare, where a new generation of fans will compete in the messiest and most physically challenging competition of their lives.

Bringing together new fans and the iconic game show’s millennial audience from the ‘90s, original series host Marc Summers returns to give color commentary on the challenges, lending his vast knowledge of the game and expertise to each episode.

Said Koshy, “This is a dream that I have been dreaming to live! From watching Double Dare to hosting it!?  I am ready for a summer of slime and nose picking.”

Said Summers, “I can’t think of many shows like Double Dare that have the ability to bond people together--those who grew up watching the original series can now pass along their love for this game show to today’s kids. It’s an honor to be a part of this reboot.”

Double Dare features two teams competing to win prizes by answering brain-bending trivia questions, completing messy physical stunts and ultimately facing the legendary obstacle course--the human hamster wheel, the classic gigantic mouth, the wringer, the iconic Double Dare nose and more.

Nickelodeon’s new Double Dare will also spill off of the screen and into the real world this summer, connecting to fans both old and new in a series of forthcoming location-based live experiences. There will be opportunities for fans to play Double Dare in on-the-ground versions at VidCon 2018 in Anaheim, Calif., and all summer long at Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America in Minneapolis.

Sutikki and Playmates Toys Team Up for 'Kuroba!'

Sutikki, the kids and family division of Bento Box Entertainment, today introduced Kuroba!, a new proprietary and patented toy-based brand that will launch at retail and on YouTube beginning this Summer 2018 in the U.S. The brand will target girls ages 6-9 and will offer its audience a compelling toy experience that blends collectability with customization and competition – a rare combination for this demographic.

Global powerhouse Playmates Toys will act as the master toy partner for Kuroba! and will roll out a range of products based around the brand beginning this summer in the U.S. Additionally, an international roll-out is planned for Spring 2019. Sutikki licensed the patented and proprietary toy innovation at the heart of the Kuroba! brand from BOTI Global Ltd, a Hong Kong based toy development company, to develop an animation and merchandising program based on this toy ideation.

In addition to leading global merchandising efforts for the brand, Sutikki is currently in production on more than 220 minutes of animated Kuroba! content and is overseeing its distribution. This includes a Summer 2018 premiere on YouTube.com/Kurobaworld and across a number of social media platforms.

The “Kuroba” are powerful spirits who have lived in peace and friendship for many years, bringing harmony to the world.  A mysterious mishap has upset this balance, causing the Kuroba to become mashed-up combinations of one another – unleashing mischief and mayhem upon the Earth.  Three young girls have been chosen to become “Kuroba Keepers” tasked with finding these spirits and restoring harmony back to the world.

“Kuroba! has the potential to be the next big toy phenomenon for young girls,” said Karl Aronian, SVP Marketing for Playmates Toys. “The brand takes a remarkable toy innovation, combines it with a familiar and proven form of game-play, and weaves in customization and collectability to make it a genuinely original offering.”

“It has been an amazing experience working with the great people of Sutikki and Playmates and seeing Kuroba! come to fruition,” said Nico Blauw, Co-Founder and CEO of BOTI. “We are very proud of what has been accomplished and equally excited to see Kuroba! finally come to market.”

Irene Weibel, co-founder of Sutikki said, “We are proud to be able to build great content from the ground up with compelling characters and a deep mythology that will connect kids to the experience of playing with Kuroba! YouTube is the perfect home for these shorts that feature friendship, comedy and epic Kuroba! battles.”

Kuroba! is the second brand to be launched under the Sutikki banner, following Moon and Me, the highly anticipated new preschool series created by Andrew Davenport (Teletubbies, In the Night Garden) that premieres later this year on BBC’s CBeebies channel and Universal Kids.
