Frequently Asked Questions

These Are Our Final Answers.

General

What is The Game Show Challenge?

The Game Show Challenge is a live, interactive game show from the creators of Escape Plan Columbia. Led by a real game show host, teams battle it out for bragging rights in this 60+ minute experience. During your game show, you will play at least 2 types of unique game shows.

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?

For our standard experience, most groups are between 6 and 14 players (up to 21 at our new Atlanta location!), but we’ve got wiggle room. If you’re not sure, just ask. We’ve definitely got space to throw a party for 100+, but we’ll need to talk it over with you.

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 worries! The studio audience is key to great game shows! They’ll still have fun watching and heckling. There’s zero pressure, and plenty of chances to jump in when they’re ready.

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 no one seems to miss it. They’re too busy having fun playing our games.

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

You sure can! Every group gets a chance to roll the dice for a shot at $100,000 prize! Check out the full rules for more.

Corporate Events

Can you host large parties or corporate groups?

Absolutely! Each game has up to 30 participants and we have additional space for a small audience. We also have a 1000+ sq ft party/meeting space to host your own event. Our sister company, Escape Plan Columbia, can accommodate up to 50 additional guests in the same building. Long story short, we have hosted groups of over 200 at our facility.

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, use our 1,000+ sq ft meeting space, and turn your offsite into an all-out event. We’ve got room, tech hookups, and flexibility.

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

No problem. We’ve hosted groups of over 200 at our facility. Have part of your team play while the rest cheer them on, or start multiple games at once. We’ll help you plan the perfect flow.

Can we customize the experience for our team?

Totally. We’ve got tech hookups for presentations. We can offer personality assessments, team coaching, or a training component. We can even bundle with services from our sister company, Escape Plan Columbia.

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.
