The Game Caterers is a new concept entertainment delivery service in which producer Na Yeong-seok (Na PD) visits official broadcasting events and entertainment programs of various guests, regardless of entertainment or drama, and plans to bring laughter to guests through multiple games played in New Journey to the West or Channel 15 Nights.
A total of 19 teams in the span of both seasons appeared on the show. In season 1, 51 people were on seven business trips, from the first business trip Hospital Playlist Goes Camping to BH Entertainment. In season 2, The Game Caterers draws attention by trying to expand the format as a unique feature of picnics that inevitably require long recordings. When asked about the secret to recruiting guests for each episode, PD Ham Moo-seong of the show said, "I try to make the atmosphere at the scene comfortable by packing the staff in the smallest possible size. It seems that this part is well known to artists and officials." Six out of 19 teams are entertainment agencies such as Antenna, BH Entertainment, Artist Company, YG Entertainment, Hybe Label, and Starship Entertainment.
All guests require to play the game with prizes to be won. With more than four players, the sequence will go down and back (each person gets two rounds except the last person).
