The details
How The Greatest Showdown works
Everyone answers a quick poll on their phone, the answers split each table into two sides, and the sides battle through fast tabletop mini games. Every new question reshuffles who is on your side, so the room keeps mixing until one player is crowned the Ultimate Champion.
The Greatest Showdown is a fast-paced team building competition for offsites, conferences and large company gatherings. It runs in two parts that repeat all session long. First, everyone answers a fun question on their phone, like “Would you rather win an Olympic gold or an Oscar?” Then the answers decide the sides, and those sides face off in a short tabletop challenge.
Because every new question reshuffles who is on your side, people keep teaming up with colleagues they rarely work with. Quiet players get pulled into the action, the scoreboard keeps moving, and the energy stays high from the first round to the final standings.
To ensure a great experience, aspects of this program may be modified for your group size, group makeup, time available, and other variables.
Program Agenda
Your host opens with a quick kickoff and gets everyone connected on their phones. Teams of 6 to 8 sit at their own table with a game box, and each round follows the same simple rhythm:
- A poll question appears on the big screen and everyone votes on their phone
- The answers split each table into two sides for that round
- The two sides play a quick head-to-head challenge from the game box
- Winners earn points on the live leaderboard
Sample challenges from the game box include:
- Dice Battle: race to add up four dice and shout the total first
- Pancake Flip: flip a target off a track and catch it again, with one more flip each round
- The Tallest Tower: take turns adding cubes and hope you are not the one who topples it
- Bounce Off: bounce a ball twice on the table before it rolls off the edge
- Wise Words: be the first side to shout a word with the right first letter and length
The box holds about 20 different mini games, so no two rounds feel the same. When the final scores are in, one participant is crowned the Ultimate Champion.
