The challenge
Canal 4 brought «The Search» to Uruguay, an Israeli format that had never been produced outside Israel. The whole game happens on a studio-sized grid of letters: the board, the lights and the scores had to react live, with no room for error.
The solution
We built in Unity the software that drives the grid on the LED floor —adapted to the Latin alphabet—, syncs the set lighting and keeps every pair's time and score. When someone shouts «sopa!», the whole studio responds instantly.
The result
It premiered in September 2021 in Canal 4's prime time, the format's first adaptation in Latin America. In 2022 it won the PRODU Award for Best Game Show, ahead of Argentina's «100 argentinos dicen» and «Los 8 escalones del millón».
