Mass-Participation Competitive Gameshow
High Stakes is a high-energy, mass-participation gameshow designed for large cruise audiences, with 100+ guests playing simultaneously. Using projection-mapped floors, live hosting, and instinct-led decisions, the venue becomes the game board. Through a mix of luck, knowledge, and social pressure, the field is reduced until a single winner remains, generating visible tension and momentum across the space.
