Announcing the launch of Gameshow Ireland!

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Greetings and Salutations everyone!

A while ago, I started networking with an entertainment company from Ireland via email.  Now a year later, our networking has developed into an exciting new business venture and evolved into an international business partnership.  GSA is proud to announce the launch of Gameshow Ireland (www.gameshow.ie).  Gameshow Ireland is owned and operated by Robert Farmer from Cork, Ireland.  Robert brings over two decades of entertainment experience, loads of talent, and some of the latest game show technology to this new business venture.  Gameshow Ireland has the capability to bring TV-Style game shows to clients of all shapes and sizes.

The official launch date for Gameshow Ireland is March 26, 2009 at the Cork International Airport Hotel.  It is sure to be an event that everyone will be talking about!  We wish Robert and GSI all the best and look forward to collaborating on international game show projects together!

ESP - The Game Show

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

When we created Quest for the Best, we had no idea that it would become our most popular game show production!  QFB has been Game Show America’s signature show for the past three years.  The reason for its popularity comes from its high level of interaction.   The game involves the entire audience throughout the entire game!  To date, the largest audience that has experienced a QFB game show is 1,100 people - and EVERYONE got to play along!

As an encore to Quest for the Best, we have created a brand new all-inclusive game show called ESP.  The tagline for ESP is, “It’s more than just common sense” - and how true this is.

With ESP - The Game Show, the entire audience actually helps create the questions for the game - all while competing against each other.  The entire show can be customized to fit any theme.  For more information about ESP, please call (608) 356-2869 or send us an email (events@gsapro.com).  We’ll have more on this exciting new show in future blogs.

Until next time…game on!

Raising the Bar

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Greetings and Salutations everyone!  If you watch game shows on television, it’s obvious that the bar is being raised with regards to prizing.  Deal or No Deal has gone from one million dollar case to over a dozen million dollar cases.  Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is giving people a chance every day to win a million dollars.  Even Wheel of Fortune had their first million dollar winner.  The prize levels of other classic game shows are also being raised.  The set design on these shows is also being taken up a notch.  While Price has stayed very close in design to the Barker years, there are still some modern changes being made to the show.  Take a look at Family Feud’s new set.  The stage has got a great new look, while still keeping the Dawson feel of the family stations and face-off position.  Millionaire was one of the first shows to use moving lights that actually became a visible part of the set, and now other shows are following suit.  The Deal or No Deal set goes over the top with high tech video and lighting that helps give the show it’s high energy style.

Where am I going with all of this?  I’m so glad you asked!

Because TV game shows are raising the bar, we at GSA are also raising the bar with our game show sets and technology.  GSA has developed new technology that incorporates wireless lockout buttons, video screen podiums (think Jeopardy), and large screen graphics - that all sync together to create a totally new interactive game show experience.

Recently, GSA designed the technology and set pieces for the Million Dollar Game Show, a new LIVE game show in Las Vegas.  The podiums, large screen graphics, sound effects and lighting all sync together to create a high energy game show environment that you typically only see on TV game shows.  This same technology is also being offered to our corporate and casino clients to give them the best game show experience possible.

Game Show Set - GSA

This is a picture of the set we designed for the Vegas Game Show.  The contestant podiums contain video monitors that are extremely bright, even under direct stage lighting.  The graphics for the podiums were also designed by our in-house design team.  All of these elements are available for our corporate and casino clients, enabling us to completely customize any type of game show for any type of event.

GSA still offers basic sets and game show podiums which are extremely effective for many different types of game shows.  All of our game show software however, is designed in-house, and only available through Game Show America.

Over the past 12 years, our clients have challenged us to provide them with the most interactive game show experiences possible.  We have also been challenged to create custom game shows for our clients, making their event something that is completely unique to them.  We have welcomed the challenges and have continued to develop interactive and custom games that keep our clients coming back year after year.

If you have never contracted Game Show America for your event, maybe now time to see how GSA can help transform your next event into something extraordinary.  Let GSA help raise the bar for your next event.
