I've tried two different ones so far.

My first two months, I played "Got it Love it" with chocolate. I got this from a director's meeting. When you demo or talk about a product, whoever has it shouts "got it" and if they can tell why they love it, they get a pc of choc. I also added "want it need it" for the PC "virgins" to have a chance to play. It worked pretty well but was costing me in chocolate!!

My last 2 shows this month, I tried the PC poker I found on here. I think it helped me get a booking at the first show. I decided to add a few caveats, including getting the biggest chips for coming up and trying a product. This gal wanted to try it all! And she booked a Mommy & Me show for spring. I got a lot of questions about hosting & recruiting at that show as they were all hyper competive relatives :D But my show this weekend was small & quiet, they didn't ask as much.

NOW...I think I'd like to give it at least a few more shows, maybe another month, to see how it works out. Frankly, it is cheaper with the chips!

But I wanted to see what y'all use, what works, what doesn't. I know the main goal is to get ppl to talk/ask about products, hosting & booking. I think the Poker game does a better job of it. I just wonder if I should add in the chocolate as the "chips" to make it more exciting again!
 
I don't really have any set games that I play. I have been doing the murder mystery show this month, and I've really been using that.

I like your idea of using the chocolate as the chips for the poker game!
 
I do "got it, LOVE it" but I hand out tickets, a lot cheaper, and everyone loves it. I draw tickets at the end for things out of my goodie bowl.

Thanks, I like got it love it too, and tickets are cheaper. But how do you get them asking about hosting/recruiting? I like that the poker game encourages that. Because many times, someone is thinking the question and the incentive gives the guts to ask!
 
i do the "Queen of the Shoppers" almost every show. they love it and it really gets everyone involved.
another fun one is the "self portrait game", it isn't as "product oriented" but its fun for them.
can't locate the Queen one i use but here is a shorter version.

I played the Tool/Spouse game the other day and it went over well. This is where you ask them to name a tool that needs replacing and then 2 reasons why. They also write down thier husbands name. IE, my scraper, old and dirty, Tom. Then you replace the tools name with the Husbands name and say

Misty wants to replace Tom because he is old and dirty. The one with the funniest reasons gets a quickcut paring knife.

Do a search in files and it is in there.

TV show gameI played a new game @ one of my shows this week. It is called the TV show game (kind of like the left/right game...I found it on here but tweeked it to my story and TV shows that I added) Anyway, it was the first time that I used it and people seemed to enjoy it. What I did was read the story and then I had a punching balloon that I passed around. The guest who could name the most of the TV shows that I had in my story (in 20 seconds)while punching the balloon won. It was really funny watching them trying to think and coordinate at the same time. However, I thought next time I would incorporate my game into the recipe...kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Have guests naming the shows while mixing, chopping, etc

Very cute game idea!
 
i like the tool/spouse game Misty that's cute i'm going to have to try it.. as for games i did the L/R game but instead of using the poem i did it every time i said the word host they would have to pass a mini spatula b/c it was my first live demo i wanted to emphasize booking we played during the whole show till we ate.. i think it helped b/c people were listing to me to say "host" then i did a door drawing, host gift that got to pick out of my basket and gave twixit's to the people that it was their first show and hehe i had her read the twixit ode that i found on here... and believe it or not it the poem was a HIT! I sold Twixit's to EVERYONE in attendence... ~tiffanyp
