IT STARTED WITH A LOCKED DOOR…
For years, escape rooms have dominated the indoor entertainment scene. Since the early 2010s, they’ve been the go-to answer for birthday parties, corporate team building, double dates, and “we need something different to do tonight.”
You gather your group. The door locks. The clock starts ticking. Someone takes charge. Someone hoards clues. Someone insists the key has to be inside the fake plant. And for an hour, you’re fully immersed—collaborating, problem-solving, celebrating tiny wins.
Escape rooms are great. They’re clever, immersive, and unforgettable. But what if you love the energy of escape rooms… and want something even more dynamic?
ENTER: THE GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE
Now picture this: You walk into a room lit like a TV studio. There are podiums. Buzzers. Music. A host welcomes you like you’re about to film a prime-time special.
Instead of escaping a room… you’re stepping into a game show.
At the Salt Lake Game Show Experience, you and your group become contestants, competing in a series of custom trivia-style games inspired by real TV game shows. It’s immersive in a different way—faster, louder, more interactive, and packed with energy from start to finish.
And unlike watching from your couch, you’re the one under the lights.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE: CONSTANT ENGAGEMENT
One of the biggest differences between an escape room and a game show experience is pace.
In an escape room, you’re solving one central challenge. There are highs and lows, bursts of activity, and moments where half the group is intensely focused while the other half waits for the next clue.
At the Salt Lake Game Show Experience, the format keeps everyone engaged the entire time.
- You’ll rotate through 10–15 different game shows in one experience. There’s no time to get bored or lose focus!
- A live host guides the action and keeps the energy high. No game show experience can be complete without your very own Steve Harvey!
- Up to 10 teams can compete at once. Instead of just two large teams competing, the Salt Lake Game Show allows 10 teams to play at once!
No downtime. No standing around. No staring at a lock wondering what you missed. Every few minutes, the format shifts. New rules. New challenge. New chance to win.
BIG GROUP? SMALL GROUP? BOTH WORK.
- Large groups can reserve the entire space for private events.
- Smaller groups can book spots and compete against other teams in the room.
It’s flexible, social, and perfect whether you’re planning a corporate outing or just a spontaneous night out.
HOW LONG? HOW MUCH?
The experience lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours—just enough time to feel fully immersed without mentally exhausting everyone.
And here’s the best part:
The cost per person is generally the same as an escape room.
So if you’re already budgeting for an escape room night, you can level up to a full-blown game show experience for about the same price.
PUZZLE LOVERS AND GAME GURUS UNITE
Escape rooms reward logic, patience, and careful observation.
Game shows reward quick thinking, trivia knowledge, teamwork, and sometimes a little bold guessing.
What makes the Salt Lake Game Show Experience especially fun is that it works for all ages—from teenagers to retirees. There’s something universally exciting about hearing your team name announced, slamming a buzzer, and watching your score climb.
It taps into that childhood dream of being on TV.
And it turns out… that feeling never really goes away.
A NEW CHAPTER IN GROUP ENTERTAINMENT
Escape rooms changed the indoor entertainment landscape. They gave us immersive, interactive fun when we were tired of passive activities.
Now, the Salt Lake Game Show Experience is carving out its own space—offering the same group connection, but with brighter lights, bigger laughs, and a little friendly competition.
If you’re a fan of escape rooms—or a lifelong lover of game shows—this is your chance to be the contestant instead of the viewer.
And with Salt Lake Game Show quickly becoming one of the best group activities to do in Salt Lake City, the only question left is: Are you ready to hit the buzzer?
