We recently appeared as contestants on a one-hour game show. There's zero chance any of you saw it — it never aired, because it wasn't filmed.
The big picture: North Texas has several interactive game show experiences to give couples and groups a taste of what it could be like to be a contestant on a show.
The intrigue: We had a fabulous time celebrating a friend's birthday at the Great Big Game Show in Grandscape and taking our fake game too seriously.
The roughly hour-long game show experience could also work for date night and team building.

How it works: At the Great Big Game Show, two teams compete in several rounds of games that are set up like Plinko, spin-the-wheel and "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"
A host guides contestants through the game, engaging with the group and cracking jokes like TV show hosts normally do.
