The Battle of the Brains

THE AIM

The game show can be used as part of a team-building exercise or as a fun way to start or end a function or conference. The tone of the questions will obviously lead the show in the desired direction. If you want it to be informative, the questions can be constructed in a certain way. If entertainment is the objective then we can use questions that will no doubt interest and amuse. A combination of information and general knowledge is usually the one that works the best. The aim is always to have as much fun as possible. The show has a very strong musical element and this is sure to energize and excite any audience. The presentation style is energetic and laughter and audience participation are the keys to its success.

THE GAMESHOW CONCEPT

The game show is based on a combination of the many game shows seen on our television screens over the last few years. It has a multiple choice element, a musical “spot the intro” element, and then direct questions. Points are awarded for each correct answer given. The questions and the point’s structure can be modified to suit the client’s requirements. At this point we introduce the forfeit system, which will be designed to suit the tone of the function.

THE QUESTIONS

The questions are drawn from the following categories: General Knowledge, Sport, Music, Movies, World Records and Proudly South African, or can be Product/Company specific if required. We will gladly incorporate company logos or info if necessary. The questions can be from one specific category or can be mixed to make it as much fun as possible.

HOW IS THE GAMESHOW PRESENTED?

The questions are displayed both on the laptop in front of the presenter and on the big screen for the audience and contestants to see.

THE CONTESTANTS

The contestants and teams can be determined either prior to the event or at the event. The quiz can also be designed as an individual challenge, if necessary.

Entertainment is most certainly the name of the game.
