Gameshow LIVE! - the world’s first live, interactive gameshow experience - will launch in Central London in Spring 2026. Inspired by classic TV gameshow nostalgia fused with cutting-edge tech and a dose of Vegas showbiz, 200 players in 40 teams compete for crazy prizes in a night out filled with competitive buzzer-bashing fun.

Gameshow LIVE! is a 90-minute, cocktail-fueled Gameshow experience, giving teams of 4-6 people the chance to play an immersive reinvention of the TV Gameshows you know and love, with iconic Gameshow inspired prizes up for grabs -  think fondue sets, giant teddy bears, smart TVs, robot vacuums, air fryers and an outrageous star prize that’s kept strictly under wraps.

From the moment contestants arrive, they’re transported into the glamorous world of Saturday-night television, complete with glossy stages, dazzling lights, dramatic reveals and a giant Gameshow wheel…

Seated in state-of-the-art interactive game booths - with their name in lights, a huge red buzzer and cocktails delivered to the table, teams are guided by a charismatic, quick-witted host, as they battle it out on the leaderboard through classic Gameshow challenges including Trivia, Music, Pictures, Speed and ‘come on down’ to the stage bonus rounds.

Central to the experience, Gameshow LIVE! will serve a world-class food and drink offering where guests can order signature cocktails and shareable snacks throughout the game by pressing a dedicated service buzzer in their booth.

Created by entrepreneurs Josh Ford, creative behind the Swingers crazy golf pop up, and Tristan Hoffman, the operations lead behind the launch of Swingers and The Outernet venues - Gameshow LIVE! promises to shake up the industry by blending competitive socialising and immersive theatre with premium food, drinks and hospitality, in a high-tech ‘interactive entertainment’ venue.

Josh Ford, Gameshow LIVE! founder, comments:

Gameshow LIVE! takes the magic of the TV game shows we grew up with and transforms it into a high-tech, high-energy night out. The competitive socialising sector has evolved rapidly, and now is the perfect time to introduce something genuinely new. I’m confident our combination of nostalgia, spectacle and pure competitive joy will delight guests, from those looking for an unforgettable night out to those secretly turning up purely for the chance to win a speedboat.

Tristan Hoffman, Co-founder, comments: 

Entertainment is at an exciting moment, where the desire for live experiences, the thrill of competition and the joy of human interaction converge - bringing new ideas and old favourites to life. Gameshow LIVE! is another genre-defining concept from the curious mind of Josh Ford, which reminds us all to have a bit of fun.

Gameshow LIVE! can host up to 200 guests at a time in 40 seated game booths. Whether competing with friends or taking the whole office for an unforgettable work party, it’s immersive, interactive, and irresistibly over-the-top.
