Studies show that watching game shows can enhance problem-solving skills and boost memory retention.
Game shows become fun and engaging because they help keep your mind active and healthy.
Tuning in Each Night
Angie is a dedicated fan of the brain games at Gabriel Homes. After a hard day’s work at ECHO, Angie rushes to the couch to tune into the Game Show Network.
“I started watching game shows a long time ago,” Angie says. “I learned I was great at trivia when quiz shows were on, and I became an ace at entertainment categories.”
Switch, a newer show on the network, is one of Angie’s favorites.
Contestants answer trivia questions and switch positions based on how many questions they answer correctly. The more questions one answers correctly, the more likely they will sit at the #1 spot.
Game Shows With Friends
Angie often watches shows with Residential Counselor Marlene, but her housemate Chris tends to join her later in the evening. Chris prefers watching the Washington Commanders on Sundays, but he’s open to almost anything during the week.
“I like all kinds of game shows,” Chris says. “It’s more about being able to spend time with Angie in the evenings. I may not be good at trivia, but Angie’s a pro when she sees the questions.”
If Angie were to compete in any show, she’d want to be on Cash Cab.
Riders answer a series of general questions that get harder and harder. When riders get more questions right, they win more money.
“I’d like to be on TV with any of the game show hosts,” Angie says. “My favorite ones are those who tell jokes with the audience. The funny ones get big laughs out of me.”
