The game-like interactive reality show Rival Peak has turned into a hit on Facebook, with more than 22 million views of the first six episodes.

Genvid Technologies and Pipeworks Studios created Rival Peak, a new kind of interactive experience that is partly a game and partly a reality show. The audience consists of real people, but the characters they’re watching are not. And starting today, the show will also be available on the iPhone in addition to Android and the PC.
