I think the real issue is how specialized each challenge would be, e.g. how heavily each would have ot be documented because of the variety of challenges present on that show. The other issue is for the more difficult ones, you'd almost have to have a degree of randomness to keep people from coming up with tricks to do them in one go, for example the one where you have to bounce a quarter from a table into a jug. Long story short, I can't see how you'd make a reasonably good audio game out of that, either.

Its no longer in production, and the Game Show Network, GSN, shows reruns of it on Sunday afternoons as I recall. In any case because the show is no longer in production and is no longer being shown on NBC that's probably why you can't find any info about it on nbc.com. You are basing your information on a show from two or three years ago. At any rate not sure how well it would be as an audio game. The idea of the show is to come up with challenges using household items and giving the contestant a chance to perform the action in 60 seconds or lose one of their three lives. Not sure how one would imitate some of those challenges in an audio game although I suppose it is possible. Just not something that would be of any interest to me personally since I wasn't really a fan of that game show myself.
