According to the official synopsis of the unscripted show, "Karma, currently in production, takes sixteen contestants, ranging in age from 12 to 15, completely off the grid to solve puzzles and overcome physical challenges, with the laws of karma setting the rules."

"This adventure competition series hosted by YouTube sensation Michelle Khare will test the mental and physical stamina of its young contestants as they unravel how their social actions impact their success in the game."

This show is a rare opportunity to entertain while teaching and I’m loving every minute of it!”
