Swamp Family Game Night 2 (SIGNUPS ADDED TO FIRST POST)

COMMITMENT
Your team will play 7 regular season games, plus semis and finals for the top 4 teams. Plan on about an hour each time. There won't be a set time to get any of these done so I'll post the entire season schedule at some point and we can just pick off games whenever possible.
SETUP
You'll ideally want to join the Zoom on a computer and then have your phone with you as a buzzer for part of the game. One round of the game involves me giving control of the gameboard to a player, so that part really requires a non-mobile device.
WAIT, WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING?
As everyone mentioned after it was over, I should have recorded the practice game as a tutorial. If more people want to do a practice round and I get a second chance, I will definitely remember to do that. In the meantime, just watch this because I just ripped it off:
The host, Victoria Coren, popped up on lists of people who could potentially replace Alex Trebek and in finding out who she was, I started watching the show. She's also a professional poker player (who I think I might recognize from that?). Anyway, she's great and so is the show, despite more than half the questions being undecipherable to a non-Brit. So I figured I'd American it up, add in a few more sports questions, and use it as this year's Swampcrash replacement. Most of the questions will not be as hard at what you might have just watched. Everyone at the practice game did very well!

Re: Swamp Family Game Night 2
Bumping this to try again.
For some background, I'm working on a game show type thing and if I can try it out online a couple times and it works as intended, this will probably be our Swampcrash substitution for the year. Participation will be limited so you can guarantee a spot if you guinea pig this bitch with me.
Restating the ask:

Restating the ask:
Can I get 4 volunteers that can run through a tryout with me on Zoom some night?
I'll need those 4 people to pair up into 2 teams. At least one person from each team should be on their computer, and all 4 people should have their phones.

Is there a phone app we need to install? Just Zoom? Would probably help if I could install in advance.

Re: Swamp Family Game Night 2
Yeah that went fairly ok for all the moving parts I put in there. So....
Are there 11 more people here that want to play a quiz show season on Zoom? 7 games plus playoffs. About an hour each time. Will probably record and post them if that matters to you.
You’ll need a partner so pretend it’s gym class and start pointing at each other. When you’ve got a team (and a team name, claim your spot here)

Re: Swamp Family Game Night 2
Yes. It's a comedy panel show based on survey results and statistics. There's also a crossover called 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown where the cast is on Countdown (a math and crossword show that's the UK's Price is Right.)Ryan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:48 pmThat’s all over my YouTube recs.

Re: Swamp Family Game Night 2
I just watched the8 out of 10 Countdown show, didn't realize there was also a panel show. (I did know there is also a real Countdown gameshow, but I haven't watched it). We had a discussion about it several years ago. It's hosted by Jimmy Carr, who I love, and has some wacky returning characters. The gameshow is a thin thread to pull along the jokes and skits throughout the show. The contestants are mostly comedians. The Vanna White role is filled by a PhD in Mathematics who is like a sexier Rebecca Lowe, she is really funny and cool. If you watch British comedies, you will see familiar character actors who play the zany bit character in every show. It's a lot of fun, but not much of a gameshow.Rush2112 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:34 pmYes. It's a comedy panel show based on survey results and statistics.
