A television executive slams a suitcase full of money down on the table.
"We heard you like games. Nerd games. Game of Thrones. That sort of thing. Well, our analysts have determined that what the market is really craving right now is a game show about geek stuff, and we're not going to do this thing half-assed."
"We want you to help us design a survivor/ninja warrior/whatever it's called when people dress up in the woods and pretend they're wizards-"
"LARPing?"
"Yeah, that. A survivor, ninja-warrior, Larding hybrid. Maybe a few other things mixed in. I don't know, I'm not a fucking nerd. But, I got a big budget and big expectations, so how are YOU going to help ME design this fantasy elimination deathmatch game show?"

Two teams, with a core group of 5-10 members of "nobles", lead ever changing armies of new players against each other in capture the flag scenarios.

Grab nerdlings that their friends "volunteered" and dress them as there last played character that again their friends supply us. We give them hard, properly weighted LARP weapons and send them out to survive on an island. The goal is to be the last man standing whether through "combat" or just outlasting the competition. The twist? Out of 100 contestants 10 are from military/survival background. Knock even one of them out you win, last 5 days as last nerdling among survivalists you win, survivalist knock you out before 5 day timer they split the winnings.
Bring back Legends of the Hidden Temple, make everyone wear costumes. Done.

Awww fuck i'd watch that.
I have a feeling there was already a show like this. It sounds like something Japan would do, but set in the Edo era.

I mean, it's obvious the executive intends for this to fail in an elaborate money laundering scheme.
I'll co-operate for some hush money.

I think the BBC did something like that, for kids. It was called Raven.

This. Except all contestants are beautiful and toned or muscular women. And "wars" are fought unarmed. And all contestants don bikini armor, covering up all exposed parts with vegetable oil.

Here is your reply
We blew all the money on the talent and coke, so the props department had to make the monsters from what we had around the office.
