Half-Hour Game Show ‘Scrambled Up’ Heading Into Syndication

Move over Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Family Feud and 25 Words or Less. There is another new first-run syndicated game show, Scrambled Up!, vying for station clearances for fall 2025.
From Keller/Noll (Flip Side, Chopped, and America Says), and Playing Field Entertainment and Crazy Legs Productions (who produce Cutlers Court), Scrambled Up! features four contestants who solve jumbled up words and phrases that unscramble right before their eyes in a competition to win the grand prize of $10,000. As the tiles unscramble, the clues get easier.
Specifically, colorful tiles slowly rearrange themselves while players are given clues to the answer. A wrong answer means that player can no longer guess while the first player with the right answer wins the points.
Scrambled Up! is the second new game show vying for station clearances for next season. The first, The Perfect Line, is from CBS Media Ventures and features Inside Edition’s Deborah Norville hosting this trivia game of questions about world events, pop culture, sports, science and other topics. Contestants are given a category and then arrange events, items or people to create “the perfect line.”
Given the current state of the syndication marketplace, which is now a mixture of aging originals and repeats of former hits, both Scrambled Up! and The Perfect Line should have minimal difficulty lining up clearances.
“Fall 2025 is the perfect time to introduce a new game show into the marketplace and Scrambled Up! is the perfect addition,” said Dave Bulhack, Playing Field Entertainment Co-Founder in a statement. “It’s fun, easy to play, and enormously addictive.”
Production on Scrambled Up! starts this summer in Atlanta, with a minimum of 130 original half-hour episodes planned for as a Monday to Friday stripped programming options. The host has not been announced at press time.
Mirroring other strips, two episodes in a one-hour block is a likely option for Scrambled Up! And it could be positioned in any daypart.
