Michigan’s First-Ever Game Show Experience Lets You Be the Star

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of standing behind a podium, buzzer in hand, answering trivia questions with lightning speed while an audience cheers me on. My grandparents watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune nightly, and I always wanted to make them proud if I could make it on to the big national stage.

But, let’s be real—getting on a game show takes serious effort and probably a few more brain cells than I currently have. Between auditions, travel, the stress of competing against thousands of other hopefuls... Who has time for that?

Thankfully, you don’t have to book a flight to L.A. or New York to live out your game show dreams—because a new business is making it possible right here in West Michigan. The Kalamazoo Game Show Experience is a brand-new, interactive venue that lets you and your friends step onto your favorite game show sets and compete, just like you’re really on TV.

They’ve got Jeopardy-style trivia, Wheel of Fortune-inspired puzzles, and even a Family Feud showdown that brings all the fun (and the inevitable debates over answers) to life.

And if you’re a movie buff like my husband, their Movie Monday trivia nights will leave you feeling like the smartest person in the room.

They’ve really gone above and beyond to make sure that their whole setup is legit. They’ve got podiums, sound effects, dazzling lights, and a host to guide you through the game, making it feel as close to the real deal as possible.

Whether you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, a unique date night, or an alternative to another one of those stressful escape rooms that leaves everyone stressed out and annoyed, this may be the perfect fit for you.

So, if you’ve ever yelled at the TV thinking you could do better, now’s your chance to prove it. West Michigan finally has its own game show stage—who’s ready to play?
