Game show

A game show is an entertainment programme on radio and television in which, for example, one or more candidates have to perform tasks, solve puzzles or answer questions correctly. The quiz show is a subtype of the game show. Some game shows are broadcast as Saturday evening shows.

A game show is a game with candidates according to fixed rules and a final structure. Its core is the competition that leads to the victory of a candidate or a group of candidates at the end. Whereas in the past prizes in kind were played out much more often, now there are usually higher sums of money to be won. Game technology is used for the technical realization of the games (input devices, control monitors, etc.).
