A Live Game Show at a Corporate Event — How Rewanż Works

A team quiz as a live game show: player consoles, a host, a big screen and a cheering audience. How Rewanż works and how to plan it for your event.

Rewanż — live game show in a tent by the Vistula, Plac Zabaw in Warsaw

A quiz at a company party often looks the same: question sheets, pens and counting points at the end, when half the room has stopped listening. A live game show turns this around. Questions appear on a big screen, players answer on consoles, scores are visible instantly and a host sets the pace like on TV. That is how Rewanż works — a mobile game show we designed and built from scratch.

What Rewanż is

Rewanż turns any space into a TV studio. It combines the closeness of live contact with the audience with the energy of a big show. Participants don’t watch from the side — they play and compete in front of the audience themselves.

The format has three parts:

  • The app. The game is built in Unreal Engine 5 (C++) and runs on two screens: one view for the audience and a separate one for the host. Questions, categories and graphics are configured for each client.
  • Player consoles. Custom, sturdy, modular consoles styled after vintage TV studios. Players instantly feel like contestants in a real game show.
  • Host and look. The game script, the hosting and the retro-futurist visual identity make it an event, not just a game.

The first Rewanż in front of an audience

On 11 September 2026, Rewanż was played live at Plac Zabaw in Warsaw. The stage and screen stood in a tent by the Vistula. Players sat at tables with consoles while the host walked among them with a microphone. The screen showed round after round and question categories — from TV series to literature — with a countdown and live scores. The audience in deckchairs cheered every round all evening.

The key takeaway: live competition works like a show and holds the attention of those who aren’t playing too.

Why a game show works for team events

Anyone can join in. No gaming skills needed — just knowledge and quick reflexes. Teams play on consoles, so nobody has to install anything.

Teams build community. Playing in teams, people from different departments confer, argue about the answer and celebrate together.

The audience plays too. Those not at a console join the game from their own phones, so the whole room is engaged, not just a few people on stage.

The rhythm of rounds holds attention. Short questions, a countdown and scores after each round mean nobody waits passively for the end.

How to plan a game show at your event

1. Goal and participants. Onboarding a new team, an evening for clients, a conference attraction? This sets the tone of the questions and the form of competition.

2. Questions. A mix works best: general questions where everyone has a chance, plus a few about the company, the industry or shared team stories. We prepare the question set together with the organiser.

3. Branding. Categories, on-screen graphics and round names can match the company identity or the event theme.

4. Space. You need room for player tables, a clearly visible screen and seats for the audience. Rewanż is fully mobile — it has already run outdoors, in a tent.

5. The final. A grand final with prizes is the best moment of the evening. Plan it into the programme rather than tacking it on at the end.

Game show and arcade together

Rewanż pairs well with Salon gier, our retro arcade format for brands. During the day guests play at the arcade stations and fight for a place on the leaderboard, and in the evening the best meet in the game show final on stage. We write more about game stations in “Arcade Games at Events”.

The same format also works in cultural institutions — see our case study of Rewanż in museum education.
