NBC has ordered a new gameshow based around household chores, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The series, titled Perfect 10, sees contestants faced with 10 tasks - including simple household challenges - that they must complete in 60 seconds.

NBC's Paul Telegdy commented: "I love that it has a mischief as to what the games are, and it looks and feels like we're creating a very different show than any traditional in-studio gameshow."

The show, from Universal Media Studios, will also incorporate at-home participation, with NBC posting demonstrations on 50 games online ahead of the launch, encouraging potential contestants and viewers to practise the tasks.
