A medieval castle, a sludge filled moat and face-planting spills each week – welcome to Splatalot, Canada’s newest physical game show filled with big wipes and laughter.
The show is produced by former Fergus resident Matt Hornburg. It features Canada’s largest obstacle course, set up in nearby Dufferin County, and all 26-episodes highlight 12 thrill-seeking teen contestants, dubbed Attackers, who compete in three cringe-inducing rounds: Cross the Moat, Storm the Castle, and Steal the Crown.
The Defenders of Splatalot, an international squad of six medieval-themed gladiators, do their best to protect the castle from the Attackers – leaving one to be crowned Prince or Princess of Splatalot.
Hosted by comedian Matt Chin and Jason Agnew, who will each provide jabs of verbal variety along the way, Splatalot is produced by marblemedia in association with YTV. It’s premier was on March 14.
The show will be seen in over 11 million homes across Canada; YTV is a leading entertainment brand for kids. Visit www.ytv.com for more information.
Hornburg and Splatalot were a cover feature in Inside Wellington on Oct. 29.
