FOX, Keshet DCP & Screenz Debut "BOOM!" Live Play-Along Mobile Game

A couple of days ago, FOX announced its debut of the play-along mobile version of its new game show, BOOM!, which is set to premiere tonight at 8:00pm ET with host Tom Papa. The mobile app is now available for free for iOS and Android devices and features two game modes: Play With TV and Practice modes. The app was developed in partnership with Screenz, an award-winning global digital entertainment company, and Keshet DCP. Like with NBC’s Million Second Quiz game, the second screen Play With TV mode gives viewers a chance to play along with the live broadcast and answer the same questions on the show. Viewers will also have a chance to test their trivial skills and nimble mind by playing the game at any time in Practice mode to get a good feel of how the game is played prior to the premiere.

FOX Announces Premiere Dates For "Fifth Grader" & "Boom!" For Summer Schedule

On Monday, FOX announced the premiere dates for their Summer series of programming including the revival of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? and the network's recent acquisition of Boom! from Keshet DCP. Fifth Grader returns Tuesday, May 26 at 8:00pm EDT to test adult contestants to see how much general knowledge they have retained from their yesteryears in elementary school for big money with Jeff Foxworthy returning as the show's host. The revival promises "new twists" to make he game more interesting and exciting. Boom!, hosted by Tom Papa, makes its American debut Thursday, June 25 at 8:00pm EDT and has teams of three contestants defuse slime-filled bombs by cutting the wires leading to the correct answers and avoiding the wrong wires that could quickly "blow" their chances of winning the game.
