Custom Show

The **Custom Show** is a feature in *Fall Guys*.

## History

Custom Shows were introduced at the start of Season 3 (Legacy), in an early access format. Hosting a custom show was limited to a selected bunch of content creators, and required the minimum number of players in a playlist to start a game (40 for Main Show and most alternate playlists). Only Steam players could host and join lobbies in this iteration. Hosting a show was also limited to Main Show and whichever alternate playlist was active at that time. (Squads Show, however, was unable to be selected as the playlist type in custom shows.)

Eventually, Custom Shows was released to everyone with the Season 4.5 (Legacy) update. This version of the feature was revamped, relative to the initial iteration. It featured the ability to select from a wider variety of playlists (with the option to favourite some of them), a list of players in the lobby (with the option to kick any specific player), and cross-platform lobbies. Player requirements were also dropped for all playlists, with some playlists only requiring a minimum of 4 players.

## Mechanics

* Custom Show Selector have 4 tags total. They are:
	+ **Search**: Here you can play creative levels recently you have played, and you can enter share codes to add and play more creative levels.
	+ **My Rounds**: Here you can see and play creative levels made by yourself.
	+ **Shows**: Here you can see and play classic shows and creative levels made by Fall Guys Team.
	+ **Favourite**: Press **F** key (**X** in controller) to add your favourite shows and you can see them in this tag.

* Custom Shows do NOT give any rewards for participation - no  Fame,  Kudos, or  Crowns, and they are not intended to be used to attain achievements.
	+ During Season 4 (Legacy), Custom Shows can be used to complete daily Challenges. This is no longer the case as of Season 4.5 (Legacy), but reverted at a certain point during Season 4.
* All medals in all rounds are pink-coloured. There is no results screen; every player is immediately sent back to the lobby falling screen at the conclusion of a Custom Show, if they have not left the lobby earlier.

## How to host/join a show

Go into the Show Selector menu, then change the tab to Custom Shows. From there, the player will see two options - Host or Join show.

To host a show, click on the Host button and follow the prompts specified on-screen to select a show, view players list, or (most importantly) show/hide the lobby code so other players can join your show. Once the minimum player requirement has been satisfied, the host can press the button to start the show at any time.

To join a show, click on the Join button and enter the lobby code provided by your host.

## List of playlists

## Removed playlists

This table reflects playlists that were once selectable in the Custom Show selector, but are no longer available.

## Trivia

* Fan Favourites, Fruit Basket and Hard Mode were originally available in Custom Shows until Season 6 (Legacy), but since the start of Season 1 they were removed for unknown reasons.
* Finals Marathon was temporarily added to Custom Shows at the start of Season 1, but it was removed when the minimum player requirement was raised from 2 to 30 players (and later lowered to 10). This is likely due to Finals Marathon's maximum being lower than 10.
* Stadium Stars Show and Golden Goal Challenge were initially available in Custom Shows after the release of Season 1, but they were removed some time after for unknown reasons. Stadium Stars Show was later readded at the start of Season 2.
* Party Time Tumble was removed some time after the release of Season 1, likely due to Airtime, Leading Light and Pipe Dream being temporarily removed from rotation due to bugs. It was later readded at the start of Season 2.
* 3,2,1, Space! Show is the only season-specific playlist that has never been available in Custom Shows, most likely due to it being squad-based unlike the other ones, and squad-based shows not being supported in Custom Shows.
* As of Season 3, any playlist that contains a vaulted round has been removed from Custom Shows.
	+ A playlist containing all rounds, including vaulted rounds, was added on 7 March 2023, called The Vault.
* Sweet Thieves Show was removed at the start of Season 4, but was readded as of 24 July 2023.
* The Blast Ball Bangers playlist being added in the Power Party Update marks the first time a Duos-based playlist has ever been available in Custom Show.

## Known bugs

* Before Season 3, it was possible to trick the game into selecting finals with 60 players. Select a normal playlist like Solo Show, wait until it has filled up, then quickly switch playlist (to a playlist which has a lower maximum player count than the number of players in the lobby, and which has a final set as the fallback round) and spam the button to start the show.
	+ What happens in this scenario is that the game is now trying to force a larger number of players into playlists that are not designed for this many. Because no rounds are set to be able to accept these player counts, the round selection algorithm selects the fallback round.
	+ Refer to the table in the section above for the full list of fallback rounds.
	+ This bug has now been fixed as of Season 3.
* The same trick can be used to start the Sweet Thieves Show with 60 players.
* At some point during Season 6 (Legacy), a bug was introduced when starting a second game in an already generated custom lobby shutdowns the Custom Lobby without any warning, preventing you from starting the next game and forcing the Host to create a new Custom Lobby.
	+ This bug has now been fixed on 9 February 2022 alongside server problems.
* Following the Season 6 (Legacy) mid-season update, a bug was introduced where Fall Ball Cup could be selected and played with only a single player (the host), which would always lead to a single-player Fall Mountain.
	+ This bug has now been fixed on 24 February 2022.
