can hit that person on the head with a swim noodle.
Score is kept. At the end of a predetermined time, a
winner is found. This is a hilarious game show . The

question is shown on the screen. Player “buzzes” in. If they
get answer correct, they move up on the prize board. If they
get it wrong, they move
down.
Prize board can contain
either point amounts or real
prizes of any value.
Triv ia Board is a variation
of our Category Busters

buzzers, placed on stage
or in audience play a
game in the likeness of Jeopardy. Either a 4X4 or 5X6
game board is presented with cateogories and point
values.

Stage 2
Game Show Stations
We’ve done it again. In response to client’s request for
“Casino Nights”, we have created “Game Show Stations”.
Game Show Stations are smaller production game shows
run simultaneously at one large event. This allows people
to move around at an event and play or watch they game
they want,
Most any of our game shows listed here can be scaled
down to be a station. Typically, game show stations are
designed to fit in a 10’ X 10’ spot, use smaller LCD
monitors instead of
projectors, use smaller
sound systems, use
minimal lighting, and are
designed be run by one
of our staff members.

Stage 2 is a great stage of
constant running and
changing game shows,
contests, karaoke idol, Wii
game contests, and audience
interaction. It can run
continuously by itself or our
sound and lights can be used in conjunction with other
talent that you may book.
Seen at many events
including Taste of Lincoln

World’s Largest Office Party
& Navy Pier. Makes a great
promotional vehicle. Fast
moving and fast changing.
Five *5* Star
Production
For high end Corporate and
Promotional events, we can now increase the razzle
dazzle. Pipe and Drape is replaced by solid wall graphic
backdrops, contestant booths and counters. They use
various forms of truss with
multi color lights, extra
robotic lighting is set up, and
the general overall look is
upgraded. This takes more
time to set up, more staff to
run, and thus costs a little
more, but it is worth it.
Photo Op

Create a lasting memory for your guests by giving them a
custom photo or DVD of them playing the game show. Or
show the game show live
as it happens on side video
screens. Live video simulcasts also available. Green
