Title: Wink Martindale's Playing Games on Facebook
Post by: Matt Ottinger on March 10, 2014, 01:54:05 PM: Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11 (and part of the game is not knowing exactly WHEN on March 11...) the esteemed Mr. Martindale will be presenting a social media version of his unsold pilot Top Secret. First one with a right answer wins a game from Endless, autographed by Wink himself. But again, part of the game is that you don't know when in the day the clues will be revealed.

Our own Randy West is doing the VO, and some recognizable names are involved with the project. More here:

Ain't it the truth.

One letter at a time is added to the plate until someone guesses correctly. Win a game from Endless and a copy of Wink's book.

There's some irony so rich and thick you could drizzle it over pancakes. :)

It's funny seeing "License 2 Steal" being used for Wink's game too. One Barry & Enright staffer I interviewed on the podcast years ago, had mentioned that was the working title for Bumper Stumpers when it was first being developed.
