GSN Orders New Series 'CAMOUFLAGE' From Disney's Buena Vista Productions
Game Show Features Hidden Word Puzzles With Trivia Clues in an Addicting Play-Along Format

GSN, the network for games, announced today that it has ordered 40 half-hour episodes of the new series, CAMOUFLAGE, an addictive hidden word puzzle and trivia game show from Disney's Buena Vista Productions. CAMOUFLAGE is the first collaboration between Buena Vista Productions and GSN.

In making the announcement, Jamie Roberts, GSN's Senior Vice President of Programming, commented: "I couldn't be more thrilled than to be in business with Buena Vista Productions on this smart, playful, first-class game show. For viewers, CAMOUFLAGE is easy to follow and the type of show that pulls you in so that you can't help but play-along."

Taping in Hollywood, CAMOUFLAGE is a fast-paced game show of hidden word puzzles with cross-word type clues ranging from general knowledge to pop culture. Contestants are shown letter puzzles and they must find the correct words hidden among the puzzle's decoy letters. The decoy letters drop one at a time but as they do the point value of the puzzle decreases, so speed is important. A sample of game play included the puzzle word, LAPTOPICFLOORING. The clue is "kitchen explosive." Reading left to right "popcorn" is revealed.

CAMOUFLAGE is executive produced by Terrence McDonnell and Jonathan Barry. Producers are currently casting the role of the host. The series is set to begin production the last week of May.
