We spend hours preparing for a game show, and many man hours loading, unloading testing, transporting, and returning to warehouse expensive equipment. Except for “stock” game shows, our programmers spend hours (as much as ten hour for every performance hour) programming computers, checking format, spelling, and testing.

This equipment is expensive. You can’t buy it at Walmart. And insurance for our business can be outrageous.

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. Furthermore, to even rent sound, lights, and video projection will set you back at least $1000.

Finding talented people who can be a part of this business, 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.

Unfortunately for us, one of the better made props are readily available to any “DJ” who can shell some money together. However, that’s where the difference ends. We live, eat, and breathe game shows. Executive Producer Jeff Helfand has spent the last THIRTY-FIVE years (since he was 10 years old) in every avenue of entertainment – Theatre, Broadcasting, Communications, and video. He just didn’t “fall into the business”. You can’t beat a degreed professional who is an expert at entertainment and staging.

Furthermore, we constantly add to the “Show” of game shows. “DJ’s” who have a game show system use it like karaoke – as an add on. Many of them now use relatively cheap and unattractive systems.

We always add to the “show” – moving lights, full backdrops and pipe and drape, extended crews, load in and ready before guest arrive.

Then there is the programming aspect – we currently have over 20,0000 questions in our database — and they are growing. We spend more time thinking about and designing game shows than any other company. This is what we do.

Technical and space requirements vary by market and production level.

Non video projected game shows require at least 24 feet across by ten feet back with two 20amp circuits of power.

Video projected game shows require at least 24 feet across by 16 feet for front projection. 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.

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 size of the group, the time available, the format of the game show. Our interactive style involves the audience and creates cheering sections or teams. Except if you specify otherwise, we tend to use high turn over in most of our 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 time, one game for teachers or parents.
