How many crew and QuizMaster staff people are required to run our show? Most shows require a minimum QuizMaster staff of three people: an emcee/ director; an operations/stage manager; and an assistant/ops technician. Larger shows may require more staff to properly operate the equipment and handle installation/dismantle. The addition of an on-stage hostess to the crew can bring an extra measure of sophistication and fun to your show. In any case, our people will handle virtually all aspects of setting up, presenting, and closing the show – so even your in-house meeting managers can be free to enjoy your event! Top What can we expect regarding our game show set and props? With each of our game shows, QuizMaster will provide a colorful, well designed, high impact set that is appropriate for the format of the show, size of your group, type of game show venue and budget. In addition to our QuizPro™ electronics, special backwalls, contestant consoles, props, customized graphics, flashing marquee signs, chase lights and other special effects are part of every show. Each game also has its own custom, network-quality props that help create its unique look and feel. Check out the photos taken at some of our shows by going to the “Game Show Formats” tab on the main menu. Top What audiovisual equipment is needed to produce a QuizMaster game show? Depending on the show size, venue and structure, AV for your show can be quite simple -- or may involve extremely sophisticated equipment and setups. Generally, the only AV equipment we will request will be some microphones, speakers, a mixer, a CD or audio tape player and house lighting controls. The larger and more sophisticated the show, the more AV equipment and planning is needed. Top level shows may involve full theatrical lighting, rear projection and/or widescreen video and I-mag, concert-quality sound systems, lasers, hazers, gobos and other special effects. Top What kinds of game show electronics will QuizMaster bring to my show? QuizMaster’s QuizPro™ electronic competition controllers all include scoring, timing, contestant response and instantaneous lockout systems and our “Bonus Wall” and specialty lighting activators have been specifically designed for live game shows. With QuizPro™ there will never be any argument about how much time is left, whether a question was answered in time or who was the first to buzz in. Every show will have the flair and exciting “bells and whistles” of a network game show -- and that means a well-managed event with plenty of “Fun and Gains”™. Top
