Ben 10: Ultimate Challenge is a game show for children themed after the Ben 10 series, developed by Turner Broadcasting System Europe in association with Twenty Twenty for various regional Cartoon Network channels. The show is running in twenty-five countries, and in seventeen countries in different languages and hosts starting from November 2011. Contestants include children between 7 and 12 years old.
