    Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner
    Kendra H.

    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.

    *Insert your name here* Come on down! You're the next contestant at the Game Show Studio! Are you and your family/friends fans of gameshows, and wondered what it would feel like to be an actual contestant yourself? Then this is the place to live out that wish. A great place to have fun, bond, and compete. I came with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a blast! Our session included at least 4 games from the "Wheel of Fortune", to "Family Feud", to Plinko from "Price Is Right" style games. The studio was a little small, but comfortable for 2 groups of 8-10. The games flowed from one to another, no breaks, but our session moved quickly. I'd say we were in the room for atleast an hour. It was well worth the time spent. Shout out to our host Elise and our Producer, Sebastian for keeping the momentumgoing and the energy high. There is a parking garage immediately next door, and it is recommended to start your payment process through text, and Game Show Studio will validate your parking. It is also recommended to get there 15 mins before your scheduled start time, but they do allow a grace period. It's a super fun activity and hey, you get bragging points if your group wins! Definitely worth checking out!

    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!

    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!

    It was so much fun! We enjoyed the games in every room, and we really liked that each room had its…read moreown unique theme. We just wish we had a little more time to solve the puzzles--or maybe a few extra hints!

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.
