Games you already know
Pick from our lineup of formats. They play like the trivia shows people grew up watching — same rhythm, same buzz-in, your people in the chairs.
Your People.
On a Real Game Show.
A full game show loaded into your room, anywhere in Utah — lit podiums, real buzzers, a big-screen scoreboard, and a host in a red sequin jacket. You just pick the room.

Let's be honest about the assignment
Somebody handed you the party.
Which means if it's boring, that's on you — in front of everybody, for the rest of the year.
- A catered lunch where people eat fast and leave faster.
- A facilitator with a flip chart and a debrief worksheet.
- Driving everyone across the valley to a room that fits half of them.
- A trivia app on the TV, run by whoever volunteered, dead by question six.
- An open bar and hope.
None of those are the problem. The problem is they all ask your people to decide to have a good time — at a work thing, on a weeknight, next to their boss. Most won't.
So you need something that doesn't ask.
What you can put in your room
Pick the show.
Pick the show.
We bring the rest.
Real game show formats, real buzzers, and a host on the mic. Tell us the room and the group, and we'll tell you which version fits.
Built for your group size
Different versions for different rooms. Most shows run two buttons at the head table, and we can scale all the way up to thirty when you want more of the room in it.
A version made for retreats
Some of our formats are built specifically for retreats and team building, not just entertainment. Say which one you're planning and we'll point you at the right one.
Being an expert doesn't guarantee it
Trivia runs across categories, and we can throw in left turns if you want us to. The person everyone expects to run the table doesn't always run the table.
The one they remember
It can be about you
Questions and answers written about your own company — the founding story, the office legend, whoever drives that car. Ask us and we'll put your people on the board.
Photo booth, if you want one
We carry a photo booth too. Add it to the night and everybody walks out with something in their hand instead of just a good memory.
Your corporate game show host
The guy in the red jacket.
Jonathan Marriott has hosted corporate game shows and events across Utah since 2002. That year he and a handful of local DJs founded the Utah chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association. It still runs today.
Two decades of weddings, galas, conventions and company parties across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, California and Missouri — and a garage full of podiums, buzzers and lighting that now goes out under its own name.
- On the mic since 2002
- Founding member, ADJA Utah Chapter
- Fully insured
- One event per day. Yours is the only one on the calendar.
The three things everybody asks
You have concerns. Good.
"Our team is really quiet. This won't work on them."
Maybe. But quiet is usually about not wanting to look like the person trying too hard — and a buzzer solves that, because everybody's doing it at once.
The other half is the host. A live person who's been on a microphone since 2002 can adjust to a room. An app reading questions off a screen can't.
"Isn't this just corporate trivia? Sounds cheesy."
Corporate trivia is a laptop, a projector, and someone from marketing reading questions off a page.
This is lit podiums, real buzzers, a scoreboard the back row can read, stage lighting, and a guy in a red sequin jacket. The production is the whole difference between a quiz and a show.
"Okay — so what does this cost?"
Depends on your headcount, your room, and how long you want it running. Send those and we'll get you a real number.
What we'll say up front: this is a production, not a host with a laptop, and it's priced like one.
Two ways to play
Bring us the room. We'll bring the rest.
Some rooms already have a screen and a sound system. Some rooms are a gym with a folding table. Both work — you just pick the one that matches what you've already got.
The Buzz-In
You've got the screen and the sound. We bring the game.
- The team podiums and the real buzzers
- The game itself, scored live on your screen
- Your host on the mic all night
- We plug into the AV that's already in your room
For offices, conference rooms and venues that already have a projector or a big screen.
Ask About This One
The whole rig
The Full Board
You've got a room. That's the only thing you need.
- Everything in The Buzz-In, plus:
- The big-screen scoreboard
- Full sound and wireless microphones
- Stage lighting and uplighting
- The lit marquee sign and the red carpet
Built for gyms, ballrooms, warehouses and anywhere else with four walls and nothing in them.
Ask About This One
Both include the same host — his gear, his insurance, and the only booking on his calendar that night.
Not sure which one your room needs? Tell us where it is and we'll tell you. That's an easy answer.
The games
Pick your poison.
Tell us about the crowd and we'll tell you which ones land.
Poll Position
We asked a hundred people a question. Your team has to guess what they said — which is not the same as being right. This is the loud one.
The Big Board
Categories, escalating values, buzz in to answer. The classic. Also the round where one person's competence becomes an entire personality.
Everybody plays
Table Top Trivia
Every table gets its own buzzer — up to thirty of them — and the look of it gets built to your event. Nobody sits and watches other people have fun.
Wherever you already are
It goes where you are, anywhere in Utah.
Ballroom, warehouse, church gym, conference room, somebody's living room, a trade show booth. We've built it in all of these.
From past events

Real rooms, real crowds, real buzzers. Pick any one to see it bigger, then arrow through the rest.

Good for
Any room that needs to loosen up.
Company parties
Holiday, summer, anniversary, or the one somebody scheduled because it's been too long.
Team building
Without the flip chart, the worksheet, or anybody having to say what they learned.
Conferences & seminars
The evening block, the breakout, or the slot right after lunch that nobody wants to program.
School & youth activities
Assemblies, activity nights, and the kind of fundraiser people actually stay for.
Fundraisers & banquets
A leaderboard gives the room a reason to stay in their seats between the speeches.
Family parties & reunions
Grandma versus the teenagers, on a real buzzer, with a scoreboard settling it.
How this goes
Six steps, start to finish.
From your first email to the night itself, so none of this is a surprise later.
Check your date
Reach out with the day you're looking at. We only take one event per day, so the first thing we'll tell you is whether we're open.
We come see the room
An on-site consultation whenever it's possible. We walk the space, talk through the details, and get a read on the people who'll actually be in it — which tells us more about what to run than any measurement you could send.
You pick your package
The full rig, or just the host with the necessities if your room already has the production. That's a short conversation once we've both seen the space.
Sign and lock the date
A contract and a non-refundable retainer. That's the point the day comes off the calendar and belongs to you.
We write it together
You don't need finished questions — just the kind of thing that would land in your room. The running joke, the department rivalry, whatever everybody already knows about the boss. Give us the ideas and we'll shape them into rounds built for your group.
We build the rest
Everything gets constructed around what you told us, then one final call the week of. After that you relax and let us do the rest.

Game Show USA is a mobile game show and trivia production based in Riverton, Utah. We are not a venue you drive to. The podiums, the buzzers, the scoreboard and the host all come to whatever room you have already booked — a conference room, a hotel ballroom, a church gym, a warehouse, or the office you work in every day.
Most of our work is corporate trivia and team building for Utah companies: holiday parties, company parties, sales kickoffs, conference evening blocks, retreats and awards nights. We also run school and youth activities, fundraisers, banquets, family reunions and birthday parties.
Your host is Jonathan Marriott, on the mic since 2002 and a founding member of the Utah chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association. He takes one event per day, so the night you book is the only one on his calendar. Outside Utah, Game Show USA has worked events in Colorado, Wyoming, California and Missouri.
Before you ask
Questions we get.
What actually is a corporate game show?
It's a live trivia game show run in your room by a host, with real buzzers and a scoreboard on a screen. Teams play, points go up, somebody wins. It is not a trivia app on the TV and it is not a facilitator with a flip chart.
How many people can play?
Most shows run two buttons at the head table, with the rest of the room playing along and watching. When you want more of the room hands-on, we can scale up to thirty buttons. We build different versions of the games for different group sizes, so tell us your headcount and we'll tell you which one fits.
Do you travel outside Salt Lake City?
Yes. We're based in Riverton and work across Utah — the Salt Lake valley, Utah County, Davis and Weber counties, Park City and beyond. Game Show USA has also worked events in Colorado, Wyoming, California and Missouri.
Can the questions be about our company?
Yes, and it's the part people remember. You don't need to write finished questions — just tell us the kind of thing that would land with your people, and we'll shape it into rounds. The founding story, the running joke, the department rivalry.
Is this team building, or just a party?
Both, depending on which build you pick. Some of our formats are put together specifically for retreats and team building rather than straight entertainment. Say which one you're planning and we'll point you at the right one.
What do you need from our room?
That's exactly what the on-site consultation is for. Whenever it's possible we come and stand in the space before the event, because seeing the room answers this better than a checklist would. If an on-site visit isn't practical, we'll work it through with you on a call.
Do you have a photo booth?
We do, and it can be added to your event. It's a good pairing with a game show night — people leave with something in their hand instead of just a good memory.
How do we actually book?
Send us your date and we'll tell you if we're open — we only take one event per day. After the consultation and once you've chosen a package, booking is a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. That's the point the date comes off the calendar and belongs to you.
