Great Big Game Show Pigeon Forge

Great Big Game Show flips the passive entertainment model: instead of watching a show, your family might be in it. The concept is a live hosted game show where audience members — specifically families and kids — can be called up to compete in challenges, answer trivia, and earn prizes in front of a real crowd with a real emcee running the whole production.

The genius for parents is what this does to audience behavior. Every child in the room sits at full attention because they might be next. There's no drifting attention to a sibling or begging for snacks because the constant possibility of being called on keeps kids completely locked in for the duration.

This is not how children typically behave during any entertainment format you've ever paid for.

The format rewards different skills — some challenges are physical, some are trivia-based, some are pure silliness that even a shy 7-year-old can enjoy from the relative safety of the audience. If a child gets selected and goes on stage, the energy in the room during that moment is genuinely fun for everyone watching, including parents.

This works best for kids 6-14. Very young kids (under 5) struggle with the sitting format and don't fully understand the game show context. Teens who land on stage tend to love it; teens who are convinced they're too cool may take a few minutes to warm up before they're visibly enjoying themselves.

Check the show schedule carefully before visiting — performances run at set times and the venue is not open for general browsing between shows.
