Client:
Game Show Battle Rooms (GSBR) offers a revolutionary live game show experience with lights, a charismatic host, and interactive gameplay. With locations in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Kansas City, GSBR is rapidly expanding, delivering unique game shows that bring people together for fun and competitive play.
Challenges:
GSBR was experiencing growing pains due to the limitations of their existing software, which was slow, difficult to update, and lacked the functionality needed to manage the increasing complexity of their operations. Key issues included:
- Lack of a custom software solution tailored to the unique needs of live game show management.
- Inability to easily share and update content across multiple locations.
- A need for a web-based application that enhanced the contestant experience and simplified backend management for hosts and technicians.
To support their expansion and enhance the game show experience, GSBR sought a custom web application that would be user-friendly, adaptable, and capable of integrating with their existing hardware.
Solution:
Emergent Software partnered with GSBR to design and develop a custom web application that streamlines game show management and enhances the overall experience for both contestants and hosts. The solution included:
Platform Features:
- Display View: A vibrant, interactive screen for players that features engaging graphics, animations, and customizable elements tailored to each game show.
- Scoreboard View: A second screen displaying team scores, updated in real-time to keep players engaged and competitive.
- Controller View: A backend interface for GSBR employees to control every aspect of the game show, including selecting sound effects, animations, and managing game flow. This view remains hidden from the players to maintain the show’s integrity.
Content Management and Sharing:
The web application is supported by a custom database that allows the GSBR team to create and manage content specific to each location, experience type, or participant age group. This database supports seamless content sharing and updates across all locations, ensuring every show is unique and tailored to its audience.
Results:
The custom web application significantly improved GSBR's ability to deliver engaging, dynamic game shows with minimal effort from hosts and technicians. The system's ease of use and customization options have received high praise from the GSBR team, and the new platform has elevated both in-person and virtual game show experiences. Emergent Software and GSBR continue to collaborate on platform enhancements and new features to further support GSBR’s growth.
Testimonial:
“The new web application is a game-changer for our live shows! It’s intuitive, easy to use, and has allowed us to customize each game show in ways we never could before. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Emergent Software as we grow.”
