Frequently Asked Questions

These Are Our Final Answers.

General

What is The Game Show Challenge?

Ready to feel the buzz of the spotlight? The Game Show Challenge is a high-energy, interactive experience where your group goes head-to-head in 4–5 different game show-style games. With a live host, fun challenges, and plenty of surprises, it’s 60+ minutes of pure fun and friendly competition.

What kinds of games will we play?

The Game Show Challenge team creates our games. Many of the games are similar to popular game shows, but have a different spin to them. Games may be knowledge based, skill based, and some are sheer luck.

Is this fun for all ages?

Totally. We customize the games to match your group’s energy. Kids, teenagers, parents and grandparents – they all love a game show challenge. That said, we think kids 8 and older have the most fun. An adult is required to accompany any contestants 14 and under.

How many contestants can I bring?

We’ve hosted groups big and small — from teams of 6 to parties of 100+! While most groups fall between 6–21 players, we’re pros at making larger groups feel right at home. Just tell us your headcount, and we’ll take care of the rest — no stress, all fun.

How long does it take to play The Game Show Challenge?

Each experience lasts at least one hour. You will be at our facility for about 1 1/2 hours total including check-in.

What if someone in my group hates game shows or is too shy to play?

No biggie! Not everyone dreams of grabbing the mic — and that’s totally fine. While some games put players in the spotlight, no one has to participate. It’s your group, your vibe. Shy folks can still cheer, laugh, and throw in some good-natured heckling from the “studio audience” — and honestly, most end up jumping in once the fun starts!

Is this a private experience, or will there be other groups there?

100% private. It’s just your group, your host, and one hour of full-volume fun. No randos hiding behind door number three.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule?

We get it. The game of life happens. That’s why we recommend that you purchase cancellation protection. Without it, all bookings and experiences are non-refundable. Because of all the effort that goes into setting up and staffing your experience, cancellations (without cancellation protection), no-shows, and late arrivals won’t be reimbursed. But you can transfer your ticket to someone else if you can’t make it.

Do you serve alcohol?

We don’t — but most guests are too caught up in the fun to notice!  That said, we’re working on teaming up with local partners so you’ll soon be able to sip something tasty while you play. Game show + cold drink? Coming soon.

Wait. Did you say I could win $100,000?

Yep — every group gets a chance to roll for a $100,000 prize! At least one person each game gets to take the shot. Is it easy? Not at all. Is it awesome? 100%. We have real prizes, fake prizes, and lots of epic moments your group won’t forget. Check out the full rules for The Perfect Eight to see how the chance for “$100,000” works!

Corporate Events

Can you host large parties or corporate groups?

Absolutely! We’ve hosted games with 50+ participants at once and group events with over 100 guests. Some locations even offer dedicated party or meeting spaces to extend the fun. Whether it’s a team-building event, celebration, or full-on company party — we’ll help you make it unforgettable. Just reach out and we’ll tailor the experience to fit your group.

How much planning do I have to do?

Almost none. You pick your date and location, send us the basics, and we take it from there. Your big prize? You get all the credit for their favorite work event ever.

Can we bring food or make a day of it?

Yep! Bring in catering (or let us help set it up), and turn your offsite into an all-out event. Some locations have space for meetings or meals — and we’ve got room, tech hookups, and plenty of flexibility to make it work for your group. 

What if we have a big group — like, really big?

Bring it on! We’ve hosted groups of over 200 by getting creative with scheduling and flow. Whether it’s rotating teams through the game or planning a full event experience, we’ll work with you to make it awesome. If you’ve got a big group, we’ve got big ideas — just reach out and let’s plan it together.

Can we customize the experience for our team?

Definitely! We tailor every experience to every group. Whether you’re aiming for team-building, celebrating a big win, or just want to see your boss’s face pop up on the big screen — we’ve got you. We can even incorporate branded content, company themes, or inside jokes to make it feel uniquely yours. Just tell us your goals, and we’ll make the magic happen.

Will everyone actually enjoy this? Even the shy folks?

For sure. Some people play, some cheer from the sidelines. Everyone feels like part of the fun. Your host reads the room and tailors the energy to your team. Nobody’s forced into the spotlight.
