Our idea for the live show "The Name Of The Game" is a live game show where generations of forms of gaming are brought together for a half hour of funny, puzzling and exciting entertainment. The Crystal Maze is similar to The Name of The Game in many ways, it does have the previously listed qualities included in it but many more as well.
The Episode of The Crystal Maze I watched was Series 6 Episode 6: "Celebrity Crystal Maze", this episode was first broadcast in July of 2019.
The Crystal Maze is a game show where a team of usually 5, compete in different themed lands to complete challenges solving puzzles, riddles and timed trials. Once completing these tests the contestants are given "time crystals" that secure them time in a dome where they must catch gold tickets that guarantee they will go home with the money they've raised through the game. However if they catch more silver tickets than gold, they lose the money. The show is presented by comedian Richard Ayoade who adds sarcastic but endearing humor to the overall show. Our show The Name of The Game consists of three rounds where three contestants compete to win the title of gamemaster. Our host would be similar in ways to Ayoade, having a slightly sarcastic and judging host would provoke the players to put more effort into their playing performance. Whilst our first round and third round are primarily just based in the same area of the set, the second round traverses the centre stage game board as the contestants answer questions to get to the finish point. Like the crystal maze, the points won give the contestants the opportunity to gain advantages in completing the game, for example, if a contestant comes first in the previous round they get to go first when participating in the next round. The shows also have very similar light hearted easy going tones and similarly styled graphics in the inclusion of muted dark blues and very peri like colours.
