Corporate Feud, Quest for the Best, and GSA Squares

Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

I thought it was time to feature some of our most popular game shows
in our Blog.  There are so many different types of game shows out there
- Deal or No Deal, Family Feud, The Price Is Right, Jeopardy, Wheel of
Fortune, Whammy, and so on.  The question becomes, what game shows work
best game shows for corporate events?  The answer to this question lies
in finding out what you as the company want to accomplish.

The first thing we need to know is:  Is your event strictly
educational, is it just for entertainment, or is it a combination of
both?  Next, how many people do you wish to involve in the game (just a
few people or the entire group)?  Finally, if you would like your
company content included in the game show, what type of content it is? 
Does your content contain a lot of different topics, with a number of
questions for each topic?  Does your content contain some topics that
have multiple pieces to it?  Do you have multiple presenters who are
specialists in different areas, perhaps doing a Q & A panel? These
elements will help identify the best possible game show for your event.

Corporate Feud is the best option when you have questions
that have multiple answers.  For example:  “What is one of the top
qualities of an effective manager?”  Answers would be:  Leader, Role
Model, Fair, Honest, etc.  You can have different departments play
against each other, with the winners advancing to semi-final, and
championship rounds.  Corporate Feud is a recognizable game show
format, allowing a number of people to participate in the game.  This
game show can also be all-inclusive by utilizing our wireless audience
response keypads.  The participants with the highest scores comprise
the Corporate Feud teams.

Quest for the Best is the best option when you have different topics
with a number of questions for each topic.  This game show was designed
to include your entire group. The first part of the game uses the
keypads for a series of multiple choice questions.  The group is
divided into teams (most often there are 5 or 6 teams).  At the end of
the multiple choice questions, the top scoring individuals from each
team advance to the finale.   The respective team scores from the
audience response are what each team starts with.  The questions in the
finale are verbal, single answer questions.  The finale is played
elimination style, and after a series of three rounds, the last
player/team standing wins the game.

GSA Squares (also known as Tic Tac Show) is the best option when you
have a number of presenters, or are considering a panel discussion. 
This game is different than the others in that it is scripted.  Each
“celebrity” in each square has specific questions just for that
person.  The scripting includes the question, a funny answer, and a
serious answer.  If the game has an educational focus, the celebrity
can provide additional commentary on the topic.  If the game is more
for entertainment, there can be some banter between the contestants and
the celebrities after each question.

Each of these games has been designed to include as many people as
possible, and cover your content in a fun and interactive way.  Because
so many people identify with game shows, the takeaway from these game
shows is the retention that your attendees walk away with.  My theory
with game shows is…if you get an answer correct, you’ll always remember
it - but if you get an answer wrong, no one will let you forget!

I encourage you to contact us to discuss which of these game shows
will best meet your needs for your event.  All three of these shows
have recently gotten a makeover, allowing GSA to provide you with the
best show possible.

One last thing…on our homepage, we now have a link to the GSA Newswire.  The Newswire contains the latest GSA announcements that have yet to make it into the GSA Blog.

Thanks again for reading…and until next time…keep on playing!
