Question 1

What is Great Big Game Show?

Accepted Answer

Imagine being picked as a contestant on your favorite game show. The host calls your name. Studio lights flood your face. The audience cheers. The opposing team trash talks from across the soundstage.

That's Great Big Game Show - except instead of watching from your couch, you're on stage, competing in mini-games that test everything from speed to strategy. There's a live host, lights, and music. When you slam the buzzer and nail the answer, you'll feel like a game show legend!

Question 2

Will it be like the TV game shows I’ve seen on TV?

Accepted Answer

Sort of, but with our own twist! Many of our challenges are inspired by classic game show moments like spinning a giant wheel, slamming buzzers, and tackling 60-second lightning rounds. However, Great Big Game Show is completely original, packed with mini-games you’ve never seen before!

Question 3

Can I bring food/drinks?

Accepted Answer

Our game shows are fully immersive and hands-on, so food isn’t allowed in the studios. Non-alcoholic drinks are welcome, though! For nearby food and drink options our crew can help make recommendations to match your group’s taste.

Question 4

What if I’m not good at trivia?

Accepted Answer

We mix it up with a variety of mini-games (some are group activities, others are 1-on-1 challenges) so it’s definitely not all trivia!

Our questions are general knowledge, meaning you’ll know plenty, miss a few and have a ton of fun! With 17+ rotating games, the entertainment is built in, whether you’re a trivia pro or just here for an exciting time.

Question 5

Is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

No, we tailor every game’s difficulty to the ages of the participants! However, we do recommend our games for ages 6 and up. A paying guardian (18+) must participate with anyone 14 or younger, and anyone under 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.

Children ages 4 and under are welcome to tag along free of charge, just give us a call before booking so we can save their spot, as each game has a maximum player capacity.

Question 6

How many people can I bring?

Accepted Answer

You only need two players to launch into an epic game show! Our 3 studios host 2–12 contestants!

Planning a kid’s birthday party, date night, team-building event, bachelorette/bachelor party, family outing or another special celebration? No problem! We’ll split you into equal teams across multiple studios for twice the excitement. Call your preferred location and we’ll lock in your ultimate game show experience!

Question 7

Will my group be playing with others?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on the event you choose! Our 3 studios hold 2–12 contestants, and larger groups can be split into equal teams across multiple studios.

Open Studio: If your group doesn’t fill the room, other contestants may join for an epic showdown. If no one else books that time, we’ll split your crew into teams for a head-to-head battle.

Private Studio: Want the space all to yourselves? Block the remaining spots at 50% off during checkout, available as long as no other groups have booked into that studio yet. This means you’ll get an exclusive, one-of-a-kind experience!

Question 8

What do I win?

Accepted Answer

There’s no physical prize (yet)… but you will experience the thrill of being on a real-life game show! Celebrate in our epic Winners Circle Moment with a confetti-filled victory and all the glory. If you’re competitive, it’s time to put Great Big Game Show at the top of your itinerary.

Question 9

How long does the game last?

Accepted Answer

Your game will last approximately 60 minutes, packed with several rounds of fun, family-friendly games. The entire experience is about 75 minutes to include check-in and a pre-show briefing so you’re ready to hit the buzzer and go home a champion!

NOTE: Please arrive 15 minutes before your game time for check-in.

Question 10

Is it recorded?

Accepted Answer

As a gift for spending your time with us, we’ll capture a 30-second “Highlight Reel” of your game’s most exciting moments and send it to your party within 24–48 hours!

Question 11

Does Great Big Game Show have an event space available?

Accepted Answer

While we don’t currently have a dedicated event space for celebrations, we’d be happy to help keep the fun going! If you’re planning an event, our crew can help recommend nearby options to match your group’s needs.

Question 12

Is this a game show-themed escape room?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! This is a completely separate 60-minute attraction where you’ll star in your own live-hosted game show, similar to popular TV game shows. You’ll play a variety of games to earn points and claim victory over the opposing team, without the kinds of puzzles you’d expect in an escape room.

Question 13

Do I have to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend booking in advance to lock in your preferred time! Our game shows are fully immersive, and our hosts prep each one for a custom experience so the more notice you can give, the better we can make it a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Question 14

Can we pay separately and still be in the same game?

Accepted Answer

If your crew’s paying separately, just give us a call and we’ll split the payments across different cards. And of course, we’ll lock you all into the same game time so you can face-off together in the ultimate showdown!

Question 15

How do I book or reschedule a game?

Accepted Answer
