Nick game block set to go 'Splat'

Skeins will include 'Eat,' 'Attack' and 'Parents'

Nickelodeon is rolling out a live gameshow block for the summer.

Interactive block "Splat" will be stripped from 5-7 p.m. beginning Monday and feature a variety of shortform reality programming.

Hosted by Rahman Johnson, games will include "Eat This!," an eating contest in which the food is described as being "a little bug"; "Dance Attack," a high-speed dance competish; and "You Bet Your Parents," a quiz show where kids put their parents' pop culture IQ to the test.

"Summertime is an exciting time in kids' lives, and 'Splat' will give kids brand-new challenges and a big new way to play," Nickelodeon Television topper Cyma Zarghami said. "In the tradition of 'Slime Time' and 'U-Pick Live,' 'Splat' gives kids their favorite Nick shows while bringing games, interactivity and mess to the next level."

Viewers can participate in the games three ways: in the studio audience at Universal Studios Orlando, on the Web at Nick.com or at home by calling in to the studio.
