Banzai
This fully participative event takes the gambling theme and injects a bit of Japanese surrealism into the proceedings. The result is Banzai, a stylised and hilarious gambling extravaganza in which anything that moves is worthy of a wager.
What is it?
An evening or afternoon fun event consisting of pre-filmed and live betting rounds - not just any regular game show!
Hosted by his royal highness, Emperor Won-Hung-Lo and his troupe of dancing ninjas, Banzai takes a gambling theme and injects a large dose of Japanese surrealism into the proceedings. The result is a stylised gambling extravaganza filled with hilarious challenges. Place bet now!
How does it work?
The sound of a gong fills the room, announcing the start of each round as your assembled guests wager on challenges - from office chair racing and crisp blowing, to crank calling and Elvis surfing!
The teams watch the pre-challenge film, showing the contestants who are about to take part. The film is then paused on a holding screen while everyone places their bets. The completion of the challenge is then shown and the winning tickets paid out.
The same format applies to live challenges. In addition, members of the audience can be selected at random or drawn from volunteers to
complete challenges.
Betting can be managed in a number of ways; dancing ninjas can go to each table and take the bets, guests can take their bets to a Japanese betting stand, or use voting pads.
