Every time I come home to Chicago, I drag my family to an escape room. Finally my family was excited because they love games that you can find on the game show network as well as trivia. Your game master is in the room with you during the entire game. There are some dexterity puzzles (my dad excelled at these) but nothing too difficult. We each had a chance to shine individually as well as work in teams.

A solid room. Low tech but enjoyable. Theme was pretty good. Puzzles were on the easy side.

What a fun room!
Great puzzles reminiscent of the old game shows we all grew up with. Fun to interact with.
Felt like you were on a game show.
In room game master was great - thanks Jay!

I’ve never played a room that captured the essence of a game show quite like that.

Mostly mechanical with some tech.

2-3. I played as a solo player. Puzzles were generally on the easier side, but there were a lot of them. A couple of puzzles would have been easier with 2.

One puzzle didn’t trigger when I solved it but game master quickly stepped in to trigger.

A solid, fun room with several puzzles that can be completed at once (so good for larger groups!) Some fun physical elements. Would definitely recommend this company.
Game show game master was particularly nice.

Bonus Fun Time Game Show does a great job of capturing the vibe of an era of game shows - it's an unusual, and (as promised) fun, theme. The set is great, and puzzles fit in well with the environment. However, if the theme doesn't speak to you, you might not see the appeal. I think a major reason I'm not rating this a "love" is that I would have had a better time with fewer people. I had been told this game was better the more players you have, but I don't think it's true - like most games, the more players you have, the less any player gets to interact with. We played with 5, and I would have preferred 2-3. Having said that, if you're looking for a fun time for a group, this would probably fit the bill better than many games because of the theme and because it's decently parallelizable.

5 enthusiasts was more than enough, I would have rather played with fewer to see more of the game. 2-3 would probably be good.

The GM was in the room with us, though they didn't play that much of a role once the game was underway.

I had no problem parking on the street on a weekday morning, but could see it being harder if it were a more popular time.

I see why this room has won so many awards. The colorful set, the Game Show announcer in the room with you, and the fun variety of puzzles make for a great time. This room is fun for beginners to enthusiasts. There is something for everyone to do.

Nothing really crazy technologically, but still makes for a good time. I like the amount of puzzles and difficulty level. There were a lot of easy to medium-difficulty puzzles, which allowed for a lot of energy and general good vibes and joking around. Nothing is worse than a puzzle so complicated it sucks the life out of your friends. I loved our GM (host). Her humor was super dry, and although we didn't ask for any hints, she gave a couple of really good and subtle nudges. Was NOT a fan of one puzzle in particular fairly early on which causes me to miss out on a good handful of other puzzles my group were working on.
We split up into groups, and I and one other person attempted one puzzle that sucked a lot of time and, frankly, our attention away from other, more exciting things happening around us. After this was solved, it didn't really amount to much that was compatible with the effort we just put in. Everything else was sufficiently fun and fast-paced once we got over this hurdle.

Our GM was AMAZING, very surprising, very funny, and just a bit awkward and we loved it so much. This was a very fun room, it’s almost like a game within a game.

Everything in this room to the atmosphere, the puzzles, and the live actor, was pretty average. The thumbs up rating fits very well. I like the theme and the idea of this room, but its execution was meh at best. Some of the gameshow puzzles were cool, but once we finished it felt like we had just solved a bunch of random puzzles you’d find in a puzzle workbook. There was definitely one puzzle that took a while to do that wasn’t even fun. However there was one very fun puzzle and one or two puzzles with clever solutions. This is the first room I’ve ever done with a live actor, and after much thought, I realized I’m pretty much indifferent of it. Yeah it was kind of weird at first, and he has the cheesy lines he probably says every single time, but considering the alternative would’ve been walkie-talkies to a person in another room, I feel like it was all right.
