Once I realized that one of many actions on the PEAK commerce present in Minneapolis was a stay sport referred to as PEAK Feud, I knew I wished to test it out.
Styled in the identical means because the well-known sport present referred to as “Household Feud,” groups of 5 competed to search out the most well-liked solutions.
I’ve all the time been into sport reveals, and one of many first ones to drag me in was “Household Feud.” As a child, I’d watch and attempt to provide you with the solutions to questions requested by Richard Dawson. Effectively, he requested the questions when he wasn’t busy kissing all the feminine contestants, that’s.
And even after Dawson’s days have been on the present, I nonetheless loved it, whether or not the host be Ray Combs, Louie Anderson, the dude from “Seinfeld,” the dude from “Dwelling Enchancment,” or the present host, Steve Harvey.
The format of the present is simply enjoyable.

As a result of there have been so many different actions occurring at PEAK, I figured I ought to attempt to catch one of many earliest rounds. So, I caught the primary one. The 2 groups had intelligent, poultry-centric names: Winged Warriors and Don’t Yolk Round.
Kaitlyn Mack of Mic Drop Leisure was the PEAK Feud host, and he or she did a pleasant job as she requested the assorted questions.
The primary query was to call a home you’d by no means wish to be in. I don’t recall precisely what all the solutions on the board have been, however the No. 1 reply was the canine home. Made excellent sense. Additionally rating excessive was a haunted home.
The subsequent query was to call an merchandise in a bakery that the baker may name his spouse. I believed to myself of the reply Cupcake, which did make it on the board. However the No. 1 reply was Honey Bun. In case you thought Sprinkles could be a very good reply, effectively, it didn’t make the reduce.
Query 3 was what’s in your closet that you just solely put on on particular events. Many of the right solutions have been sorts of extra formal put on, resembling fits, excessive heels or tuxedos. Being guessed however getting the fallacious reply was “handcuffs.”
For the ultimate query, Mack requested when you might go to the Land of Oz, what would you ask the wizard for? The primary reply was cash. Oddly sufficient, the one reply that matched a request from a personality of the film was a mind.
For what it’s price, the Winged Warriors got here out on prime of this competitors.
About PEAK Feud
The organizers of PEAK contracted with Mic Drop Leisure to carry this sport to the poultry trade commerce present.
Mic Drop Leisure Founder Brian Lansing informed in regards to the origins of the corporate and its sport present duplicate.
When Lansing was straight out of faculty, he labored on a cruise ship as a disc jockey and entertainer, and one of many issues that he did in that job was game-show-style leisure. Then, in 2000, he began Mic Drop Leisure.
“So, we’re a crew of internet hosting DJs after which one of many issues I wish to ensure that we included was game-show leisure,” he stated.
The corporate saved lively through the COVID-19 pandemic with digital sport reveals, however now Lansing and his colleagues are hitting extra stay occasions like PEAK.
Household Feud isn’t the one sport present they replicate. Lansing stated they’ve achieved different quiz present varieties, and even do a Pictionary-style sport.
One factor he actually enjoys is seeing his video games change into icebreakers and convey individuals collectively in a enjoyable exercise.
I’d say Lansing’s mission was achieved.
Hopefully PEAK Feud will return subsequent 12 months, and perhaps, simply perhaps, I would discover myself on a crew.
