The network is teaming with eOne to develop a physical reality competition based on the classic Hasbro board game in which players at first cooperate to build a working Rube Goldberg-like mouse trap before turning against each other. "The series will pit contestants against one another as they navigate larger-than-life obstacles recreated from the game," according to Deadline. "Through a series of demanding challenges requiring the utmost physical and mental endurance, each episode will culminate with its final round, with the last players standing working together to steal as much cheese as possible while risking capture by the iconic Mouse Trap. The more they steal, the more money they’ll win." Mouse Trap is the latest Hasbro game to be turned into a TV series. An animated remake of Clue is also in the works, as well as scripted versions Dungeons & Dragons and Risk.
