Release The Hounds has been a huge success for ITV2, rating as the number one show on the channel for adults (16-34) and young adults (16-24). Created by Gogglebox Entertainment, the show sees three unsuspecting contestants enter a huge forest at dusk, in a quest to unlock chests full of prize money. The not so fearless friends have all responded to an advert to win money – but little do they know, in order to win big, they must face some of the scariest challenges ever endured on TV.
To locate the keys to the chests, the friends must all take part in a variety of horror themed mental and physical tests that will truly aim to push them to the limit. But the ultimate challenge for them is to out-run a pack of dogs, trained to guard the cash. If they manage to escape the hounds, the money belongs to them. If they don’t...
Release The Hounds on mobile brings elements of the show to life in terrifying fashion. Players enter the sinister Crowley Estate – scene of the TV series – racing through horrifying locations such as the Nursery, Asylum and Lab, dashing past nightmare-inducing clowns and avoiding deadly scarecrows, among many other hazards.
The dead of night adds a sinister atmosphere, leaving players with only a torch light to spot hazards looming in the darkness. At key points within each level, players will need to decide whether to bolt for the exit or continue collecting coins, and once in the dog run, will they be able to escape the hounds?
