Candy Crush, the super-addictive mobile game that took over everyone's life a few years ago, as millions of people became implausibly fascinated with the puzzling arrangements of digitally exploding candies, is about to get a second life of its own. CBS has announced it's turning the mobile game into an hour-long, live-action game show:
In the series, the game that has become a worldwide phenomenon comes to life as teams of two people use their wits and physical agility to compete on enormous, interactive game boards featuring next generation technology to conquer Candy Crush and be crowned the champions. A host will be announced at a later date. [CBS press release, via The Verge]
