Gameshow AllStars Sheffield Review

15 July 2024

Gmaeshow AllStars Title

Gameshow Allstars is a one of a kind activity bar with various high tech mini games themed to classic TV gameshows. Opened in September 2023, the experience is located in Orchard Square, Sheffield. Easily accessible in the city centre, the venue is a 10-minute walk from Sheffield train station and bus station with the closest tram stop being Cathedral.  The experience provided by the Gameshow Allstars team is truly unique and unlike any we have experienced before. Visitors are able to explore the experience at their own pace soaking up the atmosphere, not forgetting the variety of food and drink options available including beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks as well as pizzas served by Proove Pizza. Prices for the experience start from £15 per person with a range of packages available with drink options and group discounts.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a friendly face with an introduction to the venue and a score card to write our names. After taking a seat and ordering a pizza and drinks, we were each handed a game card to activate each game we play. There was a very relaxed feel to the attraction with no rush to play the games and we were able to take it in and play at our own leisure.

Visitors are welcomed to go head to head competing in six tech challenges themed to the nation’s favourite gameshows. Combined of skill, brain power and luck, who will be crowned the ultimate game show champion

The first game we played was Plink Plonk. Working together as a team but also alone, this game required both skill and luck. As players drop the chips from the top of the machine, the higher the number, the more points you score. Who will get the highest? This game was a great place to start as it really set the scene for the scale and uniqueness of what to expect next. We thoroughly enjoyed climbing the steps to the top of the machine, something we have never experienced before really putting you in the footsteps of the TV contestants.  Next was Fastest Contestant First. Answering questions as fast as possible to collect the most points, players go head to head to putting options in the correct order. This game was all about the questions quickly but also correctly. If you got one of the answers wrong, the player would score no points for the round. With five rounds altogether, who will be the fastest contestant first?

The third game we undertook was Word Race. Players are given a nine-letter anagram with 30 seconds on the clock to race against each other, the aim of the game is to create as many words as you possibly can. The longer the word, the more points you score. There were five rounds in this game to show off your spelling skills, which player will be crowned the ultimate spelling bee? Next was Winners Wheels. The game is made up of three rounds with three chances to spin the wheel but be warned… players must answer a question correctly for the chance to spin. The higher the number the wheel lands on, the more points you score. We really enjoyed the concept of this game with a real-life wheel, rather than a technologically powered alternative that we have come across in previous attractions.

The fifth game we took part in was Higher or Lower. The aim of the game is to hit as many high cards as possible within a certain amount of time. The more cards you hit, the more points you score. Aces are higher but Jokers score no points in this game so be sure to avoid them at all costs! One of the more active games with thought, skills and accuracy required, and the most recent game to be added to the venue, Higher or Lower it is a fantastic addition. The sixth and final game we played was Buzzer Beater. In a race against the clock, players must press as many green and blue buttons as they can, avoiding the red lights in between. Another more active game out of the six, buzzer beater is a great way to end the activities, enhancing the competitiveness before totalling up the score card to crown the overall winner.

As Sheffield’s newest activity bar, Gameshow Allstars did certainly not disappoint. The technology used throughout the attraction was outstanding and all games were created and built to a very high level. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive showing great levels of customer service throughout our visit. Food and drinks were of a very high standard with a delicious pizza offering and do not forget to ask about the secret cocktail menu! We would love to thank the team for inviting us, offering three tickets to take part in playing the games along with a pizza and drink per person in return for our review and social media content.
