We spend many hours preparing for a game show, such as loading, unloading, testing, transporting, and returning to the warehouse's expensive equipment. Except for “stock” game shows, our programmers spend hours on programming computers, checking format, spelling, and testing for every performance.
The equipment is expensive, and you can’t buy it at Walmart. You could try to put on a game show yourself. However, the quality won’t be near what we provide, and you will spend HOURS designing, developing, and modifying it. Furthermore, even renting sound, lights, and video projection will save you at least $1000.
Finding talented people who can be a part of this business and who know the technical and performance side is hard to come by. Exec Producer Jeff Helfand likes to be at most events and is only one person.
Technical and space requirements vary by market and production level. Non-video projected game shows require at least 24 feet across by 10 feet back with two 20-amp power circuits.
For front projection, video-projected game shows require at least 24 feet across by 16 feet. We now use ultra-short throw projectors to alleviate depth issues. More space is always better. Please ask for specific requirements of the show we intend to produce for you.
A local DJ might have a game show, but that’s just part of their offering. With us, it’s more than just an add-on—it’s our specialty. Executive Producer Jeff Helfand brings over 40 years of experience across multiple entertainment platforms, not just a quick experiment. We don’t just rely on basic props; we enhance the experience with moving lights, full backdrops, pipe and drape, and a full crew to ensure everything runs smoothly before guests arrive. Our database contains over 20,000 questions we constantly expand, showing our commitment to creating a top-notch game show experience personalized to every event.
Depending on your goals and the nature of the program, we try to get as many people who want to be involved as possible. Factors include the group size, the time available, and the game show's format.
Our interactive style involves the audience and creates cheering sections or expert crews. Unless you specify otherwise, we tend to use high turnover in most game shows. Some game shows use wireless buzzers in the audience to interact as well.
During Elementary and Junior High school events, we program at least one game for each grade level present during the show and, if needed, one game for teachers or parents.
