    Happy I fun time here went to celebrate my cousin Birthday!!! And we won. looking for something different to do this is it. The host were very entertaining and engaging. The ticket price is about $40 per person and It's deals on Groupon as well.

    We won!!

    If you ever wanted to participate in family feud this is your chance grab your closest friends and come out for a good time of fun My party of 10 people was divided into two groups. We played a version of planko, family feud, a dance off and something but I don't remember.

    Went to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a super fun time. The studio is a part of an escape room space and so the sign doesn't say the game show studio's name, but it wasn't hard to find. The hosts and producer for our game show were so charismatic and made the entire experience that much more fun. The studio was also well decorated and the lights made it seem like you were really on a TV game show. The games themselves were pretty typical, similar to popular ones seen on TV (family feud, guess the price, etc.), but because it was my friend's birthday they did a segment dedicated to her which was really sweet of them. We played a total of 4 games in a hour and at the end the team that won got a huge trophy. The parking is a lot of street parking with a garage nearby where you can get parking validated. I would definitely recommend this experience to other friend groups looking for something fun to do or a unique way to celebrate someone.

    Our team had a blast here it was hard to find parking but worth it once inside my only critique is that it seemed too short it flew by

    This place is so much fun! If you want to play games like family feud or the price is right or wheel of fortune, this is the place for ya. Our host Jess was super funny and the produced with Damon was great. Would definitely recommend for a fun time!

    I came here with a group of Yelpers a few months ago before they rebranded from the Game Show Challenge to the Game Show Studio. We had a group of 11. Parking is located in the garage across the street and they do validate parking. The validation is a code that you enter on the parking website. You have to sign a waiver before you can play. You can do it online before you arrive or at the check in desk. They have a nice waiting area with some couches, tables, and chairs. Our host was Jessica and our producer was Moloch. They were both nice. Jessica was a lot of fun and had a lot of energy. Our producer had a couple of snafus, but it didn't ruin our experience. There's licensing restrictions with the names of the games, but you're basically playing games like Plinko, Family Feud (they called it "Survey Says"), and Wheel of Fortune. We played three games. For Wheel, it would have been helpful if they gave us a topic before we guessed. Perhaps they can't because of copyright restrictions? I found it to be a little challenging guessing the puzzle without knowing the topic. Wheel went on a little longer than I expected, but it was fun. Plinko was a lot of fun too. I don't know if the format has changed, but when we played, we had to do dance challenges. I love to dance and would have been happy to participate, but my name wasn't called. If they still have dance challenges, I would recommend wearing tennis shoes. This is a great group activity and we had a lot of fun!

    My church family and I had a blast here. We came for a training and team building event. Everyone was able to participate in the games and the hosts were a hoot! We really enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend everyone to try this out with large groups.

    The service was great. The receptionist was very helpful, explained all the rules, and ushered us into the game room. Our host, Will, was outstanding at keeping the game entertaining and fun. The only downside about this establishment is that the games are so much fun and induce many laughs among friends and family. I can't wait to do it again with another group of people. We played three games. I forget the name of the second one, but the first one was similar to Family Feud, and the last one was similar to The Price is Right. I highly recommend coming here and trying this with friends and family. You will not be disappointed.

    Girls won, but only because of some randomize points at the end. SMH

    This event was very unique and entertaining. I think the price is fair for admission. The people were helpful in explaining the events, etc.. the game show Host we had was very enthusiastic though, if I remember correctly, she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Not a big deal by any means, it's just most people going out around Houston are dressed fairly well and it'd be nice if the actual game show host dressed up like a host to match the vibe. The games were very fun, our crowd was definitely getting a kick out of the events. The big check at the end is a nice touch. My only other gripe (and this one is kind of a big deal, hence the 4 stars instead of 5), they charge plenty of money for you to bring your own beer in there. I can understand a small fee but, what they do charge is unreasonable in my opinion. That said, I still highly recommend getting a good group together and trying this out. It's a super fun hour-long event and they have escape rooms in the same building.

    This is a fun little place to try something different. We went for a friend's birthday party. Arrive early to sign waivers, pick team names, etc. The host for our show was very entertaining. Loved the games we played and of course my team won! The price for what you get is a little off in my opinion. The plinko board and spin wheel were great. But other then that seated looking at a screen. Decor definitely needs to be jazzed up a bit for the price. That didn't stop us from having a blast. Good for a special occasion, not sure I would regularly stop in.

    Came here as part as a social for one of my med school groups. Absolutely loved it. There were 6 girls and 6 guys so of course we choose to do a battle of the genders. One of my classmates even brought his daughter to help the guys out (we needed it!) We went through several rounds of fun. On arrival, an employee greets you at the entrance with simple instructions and name tags. We were then brought into this larger room with a host using a microphone and a sound tech. We played variations of Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud, and Plinko. In between the major games, there are mini challenges where we actually had the most fun. Somehow, someway, we actually ended up exactly tied with the girls until the final round. Let's just say drinks were on the girls. Check it out! Perfect for a work social or big get-to-know-everyone event.

    When I tell yall we had a funky good time at the Game Show last night! It was some priceless moments and definitely left me some videos for bribery in the near future. We all laughed so hard and everyone had a good time. The key is to go with the right set of friends, be competitive, and come ready to have a blast! I don't want to brag, but team Dominators definitely took the win and we left team Southside holding! Lol. But seriously, check this spot out! It is definitely worth it! Jessica and Moloch were the best host ever!

    Explaining the rules before going in

    My friend and I saw this place on social media and decided we needed to get our squad out here to check it out. She booked us for a Saturday night which is slightly more expensive than let's say a morning or random weekday. Before coming, we signed waivers online to speed up the process when we got there. This place is in Midtown so parking on the street is hard to find, but there is a parking garage across the street which they will validate you for a set amount of time. The Game Show Challenge is located within Escape Hunt Houston. There were no visible signs outside, so my friend and I did walk by it at first. We had a group of 11 so we did have to wait till our whole party arrived obviously. Once we were all there, they gave us a little talk about what to expect and some of the rules involved. We were then escorted to our "studio" where we saw the cool room with cool lighting, a large screen, a large spinning wheel and a Plinko board. Jess was our host and Moloch was our producer. Jess was an excellent host and kept things lively throughout the night. There were a few glitches on the production side of things, but nothing that ruined the experience overall. We decided to do boys against girls which made for a fun competition. We played games like Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud and Plinko. There was also interactive activities such as dance offs. Luckily I didn't get picked for that because I need lots of liquid courage to get the dance moves started. Our group killed it, but they should have alternatives for people that may be uncomfortable with it. At the end we got to do something I have always dreamed of...Plinko! Even on the actual game of Price is Right, this is a coveted game. We all got a chance at it and in the end, the boys were victorious! Good effort by the gals though! Overall, this was a very fun experience. I can see how this can also be a very good team building experience. I would do it again!

    If I go by myself will they put me with a group?

    You have to sign up as a group I believe. They may have special times where you can sign up but I'd call to make sure.

    This place is AWESOME! BRKThrough is such a unique and fun experience. The website does a great job…read moreof explaining everything. I've only been here once and I would definitely come back! My husband and I booked the 2 hour experience. It seems like a lot of time, but once you play, it feels like it's not enough! The rooms truly are best played with 2-4 players. There are some rooms where 2 people is nearly impossible to get a perfect score, and there are some rooms where people would just be standing around if you have more than 4 players. Your team will have a team leader who will wear a specific wristband that opens the rooms and allows you to view your score on a big screen in the hallways. If your team doesn't care about rankings and want to just play for fun, then you can go at your own pace or split up if possible, depending on the size of your team. For example, if you have a total of 6 people playing, you could be one team with 1 team captain. For scoring, it would be best to stick together. Or you can split into two teams and have two team captains. That way, your team could split up into teams of 2 and 4 or 3 and 3 depending on the game/room. If you do care about rankings, then stick with your team and try to solve as many rooms as possible and get the perfect score. The rooms are so different! It's a lot of fun. There is definitely something for every one and many rooms to solve. Within the 2 hours, my husband and I were not able to go through all the rooms. Man, after we were done, we wanted to play more! It was exhilarating because you are trying to get through as many rooms as you can and trying to get the best score. It's like we were on a game show. haha Some rooms are addicting to where you want to just play it over and over again, but if you care about your ranking, just move on! lol The rooms have a time limit, which helps you pace yourself and prevent people from hogging a room the entire time. It gives off a "minute-it to win-it" vibe. Running around and trying to find an available room is also fun in itself. It's like a labyrinth in there. There were some technical issues with some rooms. For example, there was a soccer room where one of the goals would not score at all, so that messed with our points. There was another room involving a subway where I seriously think several answers were not on the posters provided. However, it was still fun! The employees were all super nice! One of the employees even helped us play in one room because it was one of those rooms where it would have been impossible to get a good score with only 2 people. I would say this isn't exactly a "one and done" type place. If you play with different people, it will be a different experience. Certain rooms you can definitely memorize and just plug in the answers. However, there are other rooms that are sports and arcade style, so replaying it would still be fun. Furthermore, you may not finish all the rooms the first time and by the next time you come back, they may have added additional rooms/games. Also, since they track rankings, you could try to get a better score the next time you come. The price is sort of expensive, but I think it's worth it. I mean, it's not something I would do every weekend, but I can definitely see us coming back a few more times for special occasions. They do serve food inside the venue. They have a really cool little glass box outside of each room to put your drinks inside. Also, they have free lockers to put in your purse and other valuables if you wish. There are also several cool photo opportunities. This place is just amazing. You have to just come and experience it yourself! This place is perfect for birthday parties, family outings, date night, or just to try something new. I highly recommend this place!

    What an adventure!…read more This was our first time at a place like this and we were pleasantly surprised. We went for a birthday party and were assigned to a treehouse. Inside there were lots of windows that allowed for a nice breeze and great views of the climber's. The staff were friendly, patient and knowledgeable. There were 10+ children and in our group and I was impressed by how organized the process was. After checking in and signing waivers, we headed to the treehouse to see the birthday girl. After most of the party had arrived, the kids first lined up for harnesses, followed by the adults accompanying their children on the course. We then headed to down a set of stairs for the safety briefing and to learn how to maneuver the course. I was surprised how quickly the children grasped the concepts. Once everyone passed the evaluation, we headed back upstairs to line up to enter the course. It was much higher and challenging than I expected. I'm not terribly afraid of heights but to transition to and from each obstacle took a tremendous amount of core and upper body strength. It was so cute seeing the kids clip on and move freely. This was a very fun day and I look forward to returning for a night event as we enter the hotter months in Texas.

Our reservation was at 11:30 AM, yet our group didn't get on the course until nearly 2 PM. First, we waited about 45 minutes just to get the kids into their harnesses. Then, we had to wait another 30 minutes for the safety instructions to begin--only for the staff to suddenly realize that none of our kids had gloves. We were never informed that gloves were required when we checked in, and it took another 20 minutes for them to track some down. Once that was resolved, the safety briefing took an additional 20 minutes because of our large group. Then when the kids lined up to start the course, the staff member said their harnesses weren't on correctly so he had to redo them all-mind you, their staff are the ones that put the harnesses on at the beginning. By the time the kids were finally ready to start, they had completely missed lunch and were starving. While they still managed to have fun on the course, the overall experience was incredibly frustrating due to the staff's poor coordination and lack of communication. This place is in desperate need of better management.
