How it works

Get ready to unleash your inner game show contestant and dive into 90 minutes of high-octane competition with a Chicago twist. Windy City Ultimate Game Show is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud team experience inspired by classic daytime television, rerouted straight through Chicago culture, sports, and local lore. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia, teamwork, and that legendary Midwestern competitive spirit.

From the moment your group arrives, our charismatic host sets the tone: you’re not here to “participate”—you’re here to compete, collaborate, and create memories faster than a rush-hour commute on the Kennedy. Teams will face off in a variety of game-show-style rounds designed to be inclusive and high participation, where success depends on communication, quick decision-making, and the ability to stay sharp under playful pressure.

Expect challenges that feel like your favorite TV formats, but with fresh, Chicago-specific flavor. You might answer Feud-style questions about the city’s sports, food, arts, and quirks. You’ll test your knowledge with Jeoparty, where teams choose point values and must lock in answers under the clock. Then there’s Price Hike, where you guess the price of Chicago-themed items (deep dish? iconic souvenirs? local staples?) and accuracy determines your fate: climb to victory or fall off the cliff.

Throughout the experience, teams practice the same skills that make great workplaces run smoothly: collaborating quickly, listening well, making group decisions under time pressure, and keeping morale high even when the question is brutal. The final rounds ramp up the drama with wagering, strategy, and big “all-in” moments, followed by a celebratory wrap-up, winners announced, and a group photo to commemorate your team’s place in Windy City glory.
