Frequently Asked Questions

What games can I play ?
Just about any type of game where you can create a host/contestant scenario. Trivia questions, name that song or artist, quiz questions, and of course GAME SHOW MANIA® are just the beginning. Many variations of TV game shows, challenges (physical & mental), and questions pertaining to the business or industry or the contestants have been popular in many applications.

Where do I get the games and questions to use in my show ?
GAME SHOW MANIA® disc one and our Factoid and Trivia Question & Answer Book come with the Game Show System. Additional discs and questions are available from CREATIVE IMAGINEERING. A visit to any toy store will yield lots of games that are easily adapted to the Game Show System.

How many people does it take to operate the system ?
Only one! The controllers are user friendly. The show host can easily adjust the score by the push of a button because the controller automatically "selects" the player position for scoring when one of the contestants locks out (also known as the buzz-in). With the push of another button the game is reset and ready to continue play.

How long does it take to set up the Game Show System ?
Only about 15-20 minutes! One cable, known as the Comlink, connects the controller to the player positions. The Comlink cable carries the data and microphone signals.

How do I market the Game Show System ?
We have ready to go marketing tools! Full color postcards and Flyers with blank backs are ready for your text. This is a quick, easy and cost effective way to get your marketing off to a great start!

Who uses these Game Show Systems ?
Mobile entertainers such as DJ's and Karaoke Hosts, Party Planning and Production Companies, Cruise Lines, Nightclubs and Bars, Theme Parks, Corporate Event Companies, Fund Raisers, Casinos, Cable TV, and Radio Stations, etc...

What other equipment do I need to conduct a game show ?
A sound system, which should also include a CD player if you are going to play GAME SHOW MANIA®. The output for sound from the Game Show Controller is a standard line level output that is compatible with line, CD, or auxiliary inputs on any mixer or amplifier. CREATIVE IMAGINEERING offers a Powered Podium Package that has everything you need to complete the sound portion of the game show.

How portable are the Game Show Systems?
The player positions are designed and built for the road, therefore they are very portable. The master controllers easily mount in a standard 19" wide rack. The GSS-III controller is 5,25"H x 7"D, and the GSS-4 controller is 3.5"H x 7"D.
