Gigantic Game Show Give Away

The Gigantic Game Show Give Away ™ is a fast moving audience participation using mostly risk reward games designed to create incremental sales at retail, highlight sponsors, create excitement, and give away valuable prizes.

The Gigantic Game Show Give Away is designed in part, in the style of TV game shows that ask players to make a deal, guess prices, or play larger than life and scenic mini-games.Everyone who participates in our game show gets a prize and those who “win” the challenges receive a larger prize. We can even set it up so everyone in the audience wins something. (Everyone Wins !)

Actual props used in each game show may vary by event and are usually tailored to the technical capabilities and space at hand.

Furthermore, to create additional excitement, after the player or players win, they can advance to a winners’ circle for a chance at an even bigger prize such as stepping into our money machine or playing a grand prize game.

  • 01

    First people who would like to play can register (generating a mailing list for you), and receive a number or wristband.

  • 02

    Using our special audience picker software, our computer picks a name or a number of a contestant or multiple contestants depending on need. This number is shown on our video screens or outdoor video wall type displays. (Contestants can also be picked by hand).

  • 03

    Next, the player will be interviewed and we will play one of about eight oversize games on our game show props.

  • 04

    We have some unique games like Cash Drop, Rat Trap, Crazy Pies, Beat The Joker, Star Power, Jackpot and some that players have heard of like a game designed in the style of Plinko (We call it Prize Drop). Many of them are risk reward types but some take a little skill. And that makes them easy to win.

  • 05

    Many games invite some audience members to play or win if the stage player wins or sometimes if the stage player loses the mini game.

  • 06

    After each mini game, the big winner will get a prize and all other participants will get a consolation prize.

  • 07

    This process will continue for the designated time (typically 45-90 minutes) .

  • 08

    Before the show ends, all “winners” will have a chance at a bigger prize with one last game.

All games are copyright Game Show Gurus. Some games were created by Paul Adams Productions.

Casinos – Use our show as a large floor promotion or put us in  an entertainment hall and charge for tickets. You can also give it away free to your top players in a smaller hall.

Promotions & Event Marketing — use our game show as a sponsorship vehicle at any event, festival, or fair. Let us run shows every so often and watch people wait for the chance to possibly win prizes. Festivals might even give you free space if you bring a show in. Stage trailer is available for a turnkey operation. We are even available for event marketing tours and can duplicate ourselves.

Theatres – Aattract people to your venue on a dark night. Add sponsors.  Offer an insured prize and watch your house sell out.

Malls – Give people bonus points and entries for spending money in your mall. End the promotion with a grand game show to win more prizes. It will be a smash and your tenants will love it.

Colleges – For college events, this is a game show like no other. It is what we call a “concert level game show” because we find that college students like to win stuff. We have come through with a large scale game show with high end production. Add an insured prize and it will sell out tickets. It costs a bit more than those cheesy shows touring colleges but it will be the highlight of the year.  It may even pay for itself.

Cruise Ships – Forget the traditional hypnotist or comedian as well as low production shows. Bring our game show that will wow your guests. Charge for chances to play just like selling bingo cards.

Festivals – Gigantic Game Show Give Away makes a great “grandstand” or large expo hall show.  You can even  sell tickets when people have the chance to win prizes and all they have to do is “guess”. Not for profit groups could sell raffle tickets to participate. Consult your local gaming laws.

Company Events – For large scale corporate events or sales meeting, bring in Gigantic Game Show Give Away for the wow factor. We can even brand to your message. Great way to give away prizes to participants. Add a “pricing game” modifier and we can bring our version of one of the most popular right price shows but price your products and services.

Trade Show Stage – Keep attendees on the show floor because throughout the day, they will have a chance to play mini games and win prizes. Entries can be gained from your lead retrieval system (the more booths that swipe your badge the more entries that you get), badge swipe kiosk, or random names. At the end of the day during the reception, we will run the show with big prizes and all attendees will wait for the end. Exhibitors will rebook on the spot.

Fundraisers – For an extra special black tie event instead of just auctioning off some items, have a complete game show production with chances to win prizes. Of course you are charging for tickets and getting sponsors. Your will raise more money than with a simple affair. Great for religious groups, charities, schools, and more. Another idea: Guests can win play money and add our auctioneer for a chance to win real prizes.

Anything Else – have a use for this game show? We will present it your way.

_________________________________________________________________

Branding – all of our games and set can be branded with the sponsors’ logos and names.

Insured Prize – increase attendance to your event by offering the possibility of a large prize. This prize may only be awarded if certain conditions are met and can be insured by one of our partners.  For example, the final contest may be something like an envelope game. The player picks three envelopes with values in them. If they all add up to $1000, he might get $20,000 or the entire audience might win something like $100.  This creates excitement, anticipation, and keeps the audience until the end.

Benefits for Sponsors (especially lottery and gaming)

Game Shows create excitement for customers, interest new customers, and increase the visibility of your product or brand. Imagine the excitement of your customers and potential customers when the name of the game show is “giving away prizes”.

Maximize Sponsor Visibility

Gigantic Game Show Give Away is usually at a large event that draws a lot of people whose demographics are in line with (Lottery/Casino) player profiles.  It delivers a message of fun and entertainment to adult demographics with an educational background. Game show stages provide on site signage visibility

Enhance Sponsor Image

Game shows project the image that your brand  (lottery/casino) is fun and socially acceptable part of the community and lines ups well with other sponsors.  Game Show stage sponsorship can  translate into sales revenue, especially if you have on site kiosks (such as a Lottery booth)) as well as incremental sales at your retail outlets or location.

Provide Promotional Extension

Game shows are a great way to interact with your customers/players and has an opportunity to motivate all attendees.  We can add additional brand ambassadors to help with promotion.

Create Purchase Drivers

Since game shows have a high energy and exciting atmosphere, they can be “purchase drivers” (the factors that propel people to make a purchase). This is especially true at Business to Consumer events where emotions are always involved.

Tickets

A casino, lottery, or not for profit could sell tickets or wristbands to see the show  and/or tickets to be called up to participate. Sponsors must follow all local gaming laws to see if Game Show Give Away is considered “gambling” if there is a pay to play.  It is probably not an issue for a Lottery sponsor as they already have clearance.  If a sponsor sells tickets, they will more than make up for the production cost and possibly even profit.

Branding

Outdoor staging will have many places to put banners — on the back wall, overhead, and on each side panel as well as on the backside of our stage trailer. Inside events have even more options for branding.
