MyGameShow app review: the perfect game show

Introduction

Are you a fan of game shows but constantly think you could create a better one? Well here's your chance with the MyGameShow app for your iPhone. This is your chance to not only create a trivia game show but then also run it. Believe it or not this one isn't even classified as a game but rather as an education-based app since it uses trivia. This can be a really fun activity to share with friends, take part in at the next get together, birthday party, or even make one for the kids. The possibilities are really endless here.

Your Version of a Trivia Game

In this app you have total freedom when it comes to the perfect trivia game show. Go ahead and create your ideal version of one by picking the categories, questions, and answers. You can set up the game before your get together and then save it so it is all set to be enjoyed when your guests arrive. What's cool is that it can be mirrored to a projector or big screen. Attention educators: this can also be a fun activity to do with your class and set up a “game show” with the lesson material.

This app is a new release and hasn't received a customer rating yet. It’s priced at $4.99, which I have to say feels a bit steep for the app, but once you start using it you tend to forget about the price and just focus on the fun you’re having.

Features and Customizations

It’s all about the features and customizations this app allows you to use. Keep in mind this game show you are creating really gets to be as unique as you want. When it's ready it will include a game show opening complete with theme music just as you would see on TV, there is a scoreboard that will keep track of the players, and it’s very easy to use. It sure beats a bunch of trivia cards that you pass around this is a much more engaging experience.

The one thing that isn't fun is setting up the game. This can be pretty tedious but it's to be expected as it’s part of the process. I also find the set-up process a bit confusing at times and the app can be slow to respond during this process. However, it’s all worth it the minute you start playing your custom-made trivia game.
