You can now take on a live gameshow experience in Liverpool and win real prizes. 🎯🎉

Challenge Point, the city’s newest attraction, will have you face a host of live action trials inspired by all your favourite gameshows, from answering trivia questions to testing a host of physical skills as you try to win points.

The experience is super-competitive with six great games - plus a bonus game for the winners. Teams of 2-6 players take on the exciting, game-show-style challenges, aiming to score as many points as possible. Outscore the other teams in your session across all six games, and you’ll advance to a thrilling final round - The Bonus Game. 💥

If you’ve ever watched a game show, you’ll have an idea of what’s in store - think The Crystal Maze combined with The Cube, add a dash of a Mission Impossible-style laser maze, mix in the excitement of Supermarket Sweep, and you might be getting close!

You can actually go on to WIN money as well. Every three months, Challenge Point invites the six highest-scoring teams to return and compete against each other in a championship event with the top three teams winning amazing prizes like free entry to Breakout Liverpool or Challenge Point, as well as tickets to festivals, gigs, and even cash! 💸🤩
