Game shows having too many teams can be frustrating because the teams will have a hard time accumulating points. Game show experts, suggest that you limit the number of teams to 2-4. These formats can allow you to involve more people in the game:
Play in teams
Have multiple players gather around a single buzzer pad. Trainer Warehouse buzzers are made to sit on a table, rather than being handheld, so that several team members can easily reach the pad.
Form a line for each team. The teammate at the head of the line has a chance to answer the team's question.
Allow teammates to consult one another before answering.
User buzzers that block-out previous responders
Some buzzers allow EVERY participant to answer, each time the buzzer system is reset. Me First! Game Buzzers will let you block previous responders until everyone has had a chance to answer a question.
Employ "ask the audience" or "ask a friend" techniques.
You can use this either before the player submits their answer
Or, you can use this method to see test if the answer is correct. If the answer is wrong, but the audience agreed with the answer, award the points, and note the learning opportunity.
