    Came here with a group of 13 to celebrate a birthday and had a lot of fun. We played 5 games. Each one was challenging but entertaining. The rooms were tiny; it felt very stuffy and got really hot in there. Our host Jay was great. He was very engaging and upbeat which made the whole experience more fun. I would say the experience is worth it if you have a large group but I don't think the price is worth it. I think it was pretty expensive for the time you spend in there.

    We had a blast! The gun was amazing! Thank you to the team...can't not wait to return. Birthday outing

    Every time I've come here I've has such a great time. One was on a date (so there was just another couple playing with us) & the other time with a big group of people! It's definitely more fun with a huge group so invite friends & family to join. Also to note: if you're planning on doing this as a birthday party expect strangers to join your time slot unless you buy a private party package.

    Located in CityCentre area its perfectly placed for a pre-dinner or post-shopping which makes it a great place to go before or after shopping or eating within walking distance. It is a good team-building, family friendly exercise where teams can experience a live games show through a series of interactive mini-games. You will have an in person host an computer host that will provide random games including trivia, strategy, and physical challenges. Things got competitive but all in fun.The live host will record a video to highlight the moments you won't forget

    The Great Big Game Show is a blast!! If you're looking for something new to try out in Houston for fun, this is your sign to check this place out! We came here as a group of 12, which I believe is the max number of people in 1 session, 6 vs 6. Arrive at least 15-20 mins before your scheduled time slot to be sure everyone fills out the waiver. You're then able to spin the giant wheel in the lobby to see if you win a prize or discount while waiting. We then randomly chose cards face down that were either red team or blue team to figure out teams. Once you enter, you fill out a name tag on your respective teams side. Shout out to red team being the best team! We all used nicknames to keep things fun. The game show host then explains each game and keeps things full of energy! I don't want to give away all the different games, but they're a combination of trivia, luck, skill, critical thinking, and time based games. Lots of variety and competition! Overall, I'd definitely come back here again! This was the perfect big friend group outing. We did the original game show this 1st visit, but I think there's another game show option that's more trivia focused that sounded fun too. The location is perfect too because you can get dinner beforehand, then get drinks or Jeni's ice cream afterwards for dessert. Enjoy!

    End of game score.

    This is an amazing place to have fun. The session, about an hour, is the perfect amount of time to test your skills and trivia knowledge. The staff is friendly and energetic. Best of all, they encourage you to take photos. Unfortunately, the winner doesn't receive a trophy for certificate.

    I recently attended a birthday celebration at the Great Big Game Show in City Centre, and we all had a blast The storefront has great signage, and as you walk through the door you can congregate in a small lobby that has a BIG wheel that you can spin. The wheel offers discounts and is just fun in general. You are greeted by a staff member who checks you in. You should have received a waiver online that you need to fill out prior to starting You are then broken up into teams. We had 11 people, so, we randomly picked numbers and one team had 5 players and the other had 6 When your session begins you are led into a game show room which is dimly lit but has a bunch of objects, screens, and lights that give you a hint of what is to come. A host excitedly came into our room, introduced himself, explained the game, and let us all introduce ourselves. Your teams each stand behind one of two team podiums (each with individual buzzers) Without spoiling anything there are games to test your creativity, general knowledge, and pure luck. These include trivia, building, accuracy, spinning a giant wheel, drawing/guessing, etc. A bunch of us are trivia nerds, and we often go to pub trivia's around Houston. Beyond that we love escape rooms, D&D, and board game nights... this sort of activity gave us all a chance to shine and enjoy ourselves The space is fairly state of the art. While small, it was very clean. The stwas beyond friendly and accommodating. I am told there are multiple versions of the game, so, you can go multiple times. Sessions lasts roughy an hour. They take your picture at the end, and you can see other clips of your efforts online later Some tips: Grab a bite to eat in city centre while you wait or afterwards. Definitely book in advance. While they are open Monday-Sunday (8am-12am), this is a hot commodity Cheers!!

    Went on a Sunday night with my family for a cousins outing and had a great time! I had been to one game show studio before and I felt like this experience was not only cheaper, but the games were more creative and unique to the studio. We were split into two teams and played a total of 6 different games within the hour. I loved how each game played to different people's strengths and so there was definitely something for everyone. The game show includes your very own host, and along with the lights, game props, and big wheel, it makes the experience all the more realistic. The studio also provides you with a 30 second edited video of different clips they took throughout the game show that is sent to you after. The location is in city center next to the escape room (their parent company) so parking is mainly in the garage. I would definitely recommend to those who are competitive and wanting to try something new. (8.5/10)

    I might not make it to the Family Feud studio but I made it to Studio B! A group of us did this for our friendsgiving outing and we had a blast! We played several games. Some that challenged our intellect and others just pure luck. Our host was energetic, friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to come back and try the games our group didn't play. They send you a highlight reel of your experience and that was the icing on the cake. Such a great time

    If you are looking for a great time, run, don't walk, to Great Big Game Show. Our host was Josh and he kept us entertained. We had a big group, registered about a month in advance and were split into 2 rooms. We had so many laughs and the games are truly challenging. Some physical games like stacking the highest tower by teams and some trivia games are offered. Most of them were team related but each individual could answer the questions. Our host was super funny and facilitated the activities very well. There are about 20 different options for games and we will be back. Our time spent there was packed with laughs. The other team won bragging rights but we certainly tried to beat them. We did not want it to end. This was one of the best Friendsgiving ideas. They had a wheel in the front to spin for a free game. Not only can you register in advance for private parties, you can also walk in and play. The price was good too, we were able to self-pay and split the bill online by paying a custom amount for yourself. You could also pay for multiple players. We had to sign a waiver before going in and you had the opportunity to take photos with a bunch of their props. Our package included a highlight reel which I will try to add here.

    The final game!

    See all

    The Escape Game company has really set the bar high for me! Some other places really have visitors…read morerely on their imagination and can feel kind of cheesy, but here, they do a fantastic job with building the rooms to make things feel more immersive and realistic. Clues are unlimited and given without penalty if needed. Most clues/puzzles are straightforward (can still be challenging but seems like people could eventually figure them out), but there have been one or two where we all agreed they were a stretch... Still fun! For newbies, the Gold Rush room is a fun introduction on the easier side that can easily be done without hints. Escape rooms are great to play and then discuss over a meal after, and they make a great team-bonding experience! If you have some extra time, you can play another game afterwards for a discount on the same day :D The only thing I can find fault with: if you have less than 8 players, then there may be other groups joining you. So if one wants to guarantee a completely private game, they'll have to book out 8 spots. Other places don't have that rule, so if that's not an option, look for the game rooms in the suburbs (namely, in Sugarland!). There's also another location at City Center that has even more rooms! I'm pretty sad that we've pretty much played all the games over the years, so I'm really hoping they swap in some new rooms... fingers crossed! The Escape Game continues to be my favorite escape room, so whether you're a newbie or a pro, do check them out!

    Looking for something fun and exciting? This is definitely the place! Came here with some friends…read moreon a Wednesday and had such a great time. There's free parking in the garage (upper level), which made things easy. When we walked in, we were greeted right away and got checked in while waiting for our time slot. The waiting area was clean and had some photo opportunity spots. Our game master, Brianna, came over and gave us a quick rundown since it was my first time, which I really appreciated. As soon as we entered the room, I noticed how clean and well-organized everything was. The props were also well taken care of, making this whole experience super immersive. Brianna was really helpful and gave us hints at the right moments whenever we got stuck. There were multiple layers to the puzzles, which made it more exciting and less predictable. It truly kept us engaged the entire time. It ended up being such a great escape room experience for me, and even my friends who have done others said this one stood out. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something fun to do with friends!
