Very Reel Fun!

5.00Wow! First of all, let me say that every aspect of this experience was incredibly fun, starting with the waiting room. I walked up the stairs to a super fun, funky waiting room filled with so many cool, colorful furniture pieces and pictures while our group waited to start our game. Once our host, Ratrick, was ready, we were brought in by Rachel to begin. Ratrick told us all we needed to know to play the game. Getting our own comfy chairs and our buzzers made it feel like we were on a real game show. I can’t overemphasize the importance of our host, Ratrick. Although the questions were pun-filled, just the right amount of challenging, and funny, it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as enjoyable without his unique charm. If you are looking for something fun to do with a group of friends, family, or coworkers for an hour or so, I highly recommend Very Reel Game Show!
Fun for fam, friends, dates!

5.00This was such a fun time! You can really see and feel how much heart and care went into making the set and props. Especially the puppets! The characters felt so alive. I was a little worried the puppets would distract from the game, but they only added more fun and humor. I was entertained and delighted from the moment I walked in, to the moment I felt.

5.00Thank you! This was such a fun and novel thing to do with our friends! We played the holiday game show, and it was so sweet and festive. I didn't get a lot of points, but the questions were so fun and engaging, and our group had such a good time, so I barely noticed, but I would certainly come back again to try to beat them at the regular game
Worth the trip! Great group activity

5.00Wow, the folks at Tinkture Design really crushed it with experience. My friends and I went for a friend’s birthday and we were all smiles the whole time. Ratrick is a consummate gentlerat and an excellent host. If you skip this experience, you’re a fool, my dudes!
Personalized family Gameshow!

5.00Went with my three year-old daughter who thought that the entire experience was fantastic. She fell in love with the puppet guide and was really excited to answer questions, and of course, receive a prize at the end. It was really immersive, and she went through the entire event talking to the puppet as if it was a real creature.
Memorable and unique experience!

5.00The Very Reel* Game Show was so much fun! A combination of trivia and puzzles in an entertaining and comfortable setting offers small groups a unique experience that leaves you feeling happy and energized. If one game isn't enough, you can opt for a rematch which offers new questions and challenges!
