FAQs

Explore FAQs to enhance your experience at the Kalamazoo Game Show and enjoy every moment!

Who the heck are you?
We’re a family trying to spend more time together by turning a wild idea into reality.
We’re proudly family-run, community-driven, and fueled by wayyyy too much caffeine and laughter.

Do you serve food or alcohol?
We do not currently serve any house-made food or alcohol. We do have canned/bottled non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
Groups are always welcome to bring in their own catering with the purchase of additional "use-of-space" time, and we have a small "cafe" area to accommodate such. There are also MANY different bars and restaurants right near our studio that we can recommend, as well!

Do you offer any prizes?
Yes and no!
For our general shows, we do not offer any prizes other than bragging rights, a photo with the 1st place trophy, and your signature on our "winner wall".

For private parties booked >4 weeks ahead of time, we offer the option to add prizes for your group, for an additional cost. You are of course always welcome to bring in your own prizes, as well.

We also host various special events throughout the year where prizes can be won, which are most often sponsored by other local businesses! We adhere to all laws and legislation when putting on our prize shows and purchase is never necessary to enter a luck-based prize show drawing. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information.

How much does this cost?
Our standard 1-hour shows are $25/participant. Private shows vary depending on the number of people and length of the show. Private party rates vary and more information can be found on our request form here.

Are there any physical challenges?
Some of our games do have physical aspects. That said, we always assess and ask about any participant risk factors before we run any physical challenges. We will not run a physical challenge if ALL participants are not able to safely participate.

What is the minimum and maximum number of people that can attend a show?
For in-studio shows we have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 200!

What is the difference between a public and private show?
Public shows are open to everyone, meaning you may end up in a show with others outside of your group. Private shows are scheduled to be just your group. Private show times are blocked from our scheduling software so that nobody from the public is able to book during your slot. Private shows are also able to choose what games they play as well as the show rating (PG, PG-13, R/ X).

Is there a minimum age requirement?
Nope! We can customize our shows to be suitable for any age. If they can read, they can play! However, for public shows, we do recommend ages 12+ simply due to question difficulty. Children under 5 are welcome to attend at no cost, even if not playing. That said, there are small pieces throughout the studio, so they will need to be watched closely.

How many games can you fit in a one-hour show?
Most one-hour mash-ups contain 4-5 games!

Can you incorporate questions from my company or organization into a show for us?
We are absolutely able to make custom content, inquire for pricing. We can use handbooks, brochures, SOPs, anything you have!

What is your refund policy?

All public game show tickets and private party deposits are non-refundable. Any amount paid over the deposit amount is refundable up to 30 days prior to your scheduled appointment.
We allow all of our clients the opportunity to reschedule one time, free of charge. Additional attempts to reschedule are subject to a 50% fee or loss of total amount(s) paid.
