An interactive game show experience is opening in Short Pump Town Center in August.
Why it matters: Locals can book "a show" and try their game show luck, just in Short Pump mall and not on TV.
State of play: Great Big Game Show is a nationwide chain that's kind of like an escape room, only instead of solving clues to get out of a space, attendees participate in a game show.
- Richmond is the chain's 25th location and will have one of its largest footprints, allowing up to 14 contestants across its three studios, per a news release.
- The venue will have more than 17 rotating mini-games like Trivia Temple, Drawing in the Dark, Spin Out and Split Decision.
How it works: In an hour, two teams compete in several rounds of games set up as familiar TV game shows, say our colleagues at Axios Dallas, where one opened in 2024.
- There's music, lights, buzzers and "an energetic live host."
- The concepts are great for group outings and team building.
If you go: Great Big Game Show is tentatively slated to open in Short Pump on Aug. 15.
- It'll cost $39.99 per person to play.
