Michael Carrington, Controller, CBeebies, has unveiled the latest innovation from the UK’s favourite pre-school channel CBeebies. Kerwhizz is a new breakthrough multi-platform entertainment format aimed at 4 to 6 year olds.
Michael Carrington says: “Children love quizzes but there hasn’t ever been a television quiz for viewers of this age.
“Kerwhizz is tremendous fun, looks absolutely amazing and children and their grow-ups will be able to enjoy the game and the podcasts any time they like.”
In Kerwhizz three teams of CGI characters compete to answer questions that will give them add-ons or “pod-mods” for their high-tech racing machines which can help them to win a race against their opponents.
Visually stunning and packed with gags, Kerwhizz has been designed with the assistance of teachers, and a specialist adviser, to test the teams and the viewer.
The children watching are drawn into the action at every step of the game, answering questions, making predictions about the race and advising contestants when to use their “pod mods”.
The races can take place in any of 26 different worlds which reflect a range of environments from the astrological to the historical.
Firing the questions and commentating on the race is the live action Kerwhizzitor. A live action crowd add to the excitement, taking part in the quiz and cheering on their favourite contestants.
The online game will reflect the show, with specially-created races for the users to play with and a new set of questions.
There will also be a radio show which will be podcasted on the site, joining the growing number of increasingly popular CBeebies podcasts available at bbc.co.uk/cbeebies.
