Question 1

Do I need to know/watch Big Brother?

Accepted Answer

No! You don’t need to watch Big Brother, but you DO need to understand this game before arriving. Please read the overview beforehand. You don’t need to memorize every power or twist, but you should understand the basic flow and be ready to jump in.

Question 2

What exactly am I signing up for?

Accepted Answer

A 3½-hour reality-style social competition, not a regular game night. You’ll compete in challenges, strategize, form alliances, make deals, face nominations, campaign, vote, encounter twists and secret powers, and try to survive to the finale.

Question 3

How does the game works?

Accepted Answer

The basic flow is: Compete → Strategize → Nominate → Campaign → Vote → Eliminate → Repeat. Competition winners can earn safety and power, but winning challenges alone won’t get you to the end. Your relationships, strategy and decisions matter too.

Question 4

How important is the social/strategy part?

Accepted Answer

VERY! It’s just as important as the competitions. You’ll get dedicated time to talk privately, build alliances, make deals, campaign, influence votes, gather information and decide who you trust. Sitting back and only playing the challenges could put you at a disadvantage.

Question 5

What if I’m not super competitive?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay! You don’t have to be aggressive or a mastermind, but you do need to genuinely participate. This is a bucket-list experience I’m heavily investing in—a venue, professional host, videographer, prizes & more. If you join, I ask that you truly PLAY.

Question 6

Are there secret powers and twists?

Accepted Answer

YES. ? Players may secretly receive powers that can save someone, change votes, affect nominations, alter a competition or interfere with another player’s game. You’ll know these possibilities exist, but you may not know who has a power—or when one will be used.

Question 7

What happens if I'm eliminated?

Accepted Answer

Your game is NOT over—it changes! You’ll join the Jury and should play even harder. Jury members earn points through challenges and opportunities, can influence the remaining game, and the Juror with the most points wins a separate prize! ?

Question 8

Are there multiple prizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ? There will be multiple cash prizes, rewards and secret opportunities throughout the night—not just the Grand Prize. Even if you don’t win the entire game, there may still be something for you to compete for or win.

Question 9

Will I be filmed?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ? A videographer will capture the night like a mini reality competition—challenges, strategy, reactions, twists and eliminations. You may also be privately pulled into the Confessional/Diary Room to share what you’re actually thinking, planning or hiding. ?

Question 10

What’s the #1 thing I should know before buying a ticket?

Accepted Answer

Please come ready to genuinely PLAY. You don’t have to be super competitive, but don’t come just to go through the motions. Understand the basic game, stay engaged, strategize, make decisions and participate. The experience only works if everyone buys into it.

Question 11

How am I allowed to play the social game?

Accepted Answer

However you want! Make alliances, cut deals, bluff, lie, betray, persuade, keep secrets or stay loyal. There’s no required strategy. Just remember: people you eliminate become Jurors to vote for the winner, so how you treat people could matter later. ?

Question 12

Do I have to take the game seriously?

Accepted Answer

You can play as casually or competitively as you want—it’s still a celebration! ? But if you want to WIN, you’ll need to pay attention, strategize, socialize and stay engaged. Going through the motions is totally your choice…just don’t expect it to get you to win the $100 Cash prize. ??
