JRJ Games / Custom Game Show Software

BUILD IT.
TEST IT.
PLAY IT.

Great game shows don't start on a soundstage. They start with an idea that needs to be played, challenged, refined, and proven.

I design and program custom, interactive game show software that brings formats to life long before the cameras roll, from early development and full-scale run-throughs to contestant and host training.

Real gameplay. Real timing. Real decisions. Before the real show.

From Concept to Camera

MORE THAN A DEMO. A WORKING GAME.

01 / FORMAT DEVELOPMENT

Test the Idea

Simulate rounds, scoring, rules, timing, and different game mechanics. Try new elements, compare versions, and discover what really works through actual play instead of guesswork.

02 / FULL RUN-THROUGHS

Play the Show

Bring the game to life with interactive boards, contestant buttons, buzzers and lockouts, music cues, sound effects, timers, scoring, and the controls needed to run a realistic rehearsal.

03 / TRAINING & MATERIAL

Prepare Everyone

Test questions and game material, rehearse the pace of each round, and give hosts and contestants a true feel for gameplay before stepping onto the set.

Production Experience Meets Programming

BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE GAME.

As a game show producer and programmer, I understand both sides of the process: what producers need to learn from a format, and what the software must do to make that possible. Every program is built around the unique demands of the game, not a one-size-fits-all template.
