Chunk Games can get you on TV

19 December 2011

Glasgow-based Chunk Games have released a new addictive game - The Bank Job - which could just lead to a TV appearance on the new Channel 4 show for the most talented gamers.

The Bank Job - a spin-off series from Davina McCall's The Million Pound Drop, which airs on Channel 4 - will be launched on 2 January, and Chunk was charged with designing a game to find contestants for the live TV show.

Players can pit their wits against each other on Channel 4's website and, if they win enough online games, they could qualify for a place on the television contest, to be presented by George Lamb.

Chunk Games - which has designed games for Minute To Win It and The Krypton Factor, both on ITV - was paired up with Endemol for this project, by Channel 4, which is also working with the Scottish company on a project involving supermarket chain Sainsbury's.

Chunk Games was formed last year, a new arm of Chunk Digital, which was founded in 2001 and is currently growing. Chunk has also been working with Chillingo, the company behind the popular Angry Birds game on a new game, Sticky Sheep.
