{{Main|Objective Productions}}

Adler and Objective Productions first approached Channel 4 in 2008 with the format for The Cube. It was made into a non-televised pilot by the channel, presented by Justin Lee Collins. Channel 4 eventually decided not to commission the show because it would have been too expensive. In February 2009, ITV purchased the rights to the show and filming began during April 2009 at Wembley's Fountain Studios with Phillip Schofield as host.

Adler was the executive producer for nine series of The Cube from 2009 until 2015. He also produced the American pilot of The Cube.

Adler was also the creator and executive producer for the BBC primetime game show Reflex in 2014. The format had originally been piloted by Channel 4 in April 2011, who also opted not to order The Cube following a 2008 pilot.{{cite web|url=http://tbivision.com/mipcom/2013/09/hot-pick-reflex-all3media-intnls-follow-up-to-the-cube/147212/ |title=Hot pick: Reflex, All3Media Int'l's follow up to Cube |publisher=TBI Vision |date=24 September 2013 |accessdate=23 December 2013}} A non-broadcast pilot of Reflex was filmed with Jake Humphrey as host in July 2012 at MediaCityUK in Salford.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/indies/objective-tests-reactions-of-bbc1-gameshow-rejected-by-c4/5044291.article |title=Objective tests reactions of BBC1 gameshow rejected by C4 |magazine=Broadcast |date=12 July 2012}} After being commissioned by the BBC, Reflex was filmed at Wembley's Fountain Studios during April 2013.
