I have seen a couple of booking games on here. I have my very first PC cooking show on the 19th and want to get as many bookings as I can but I don't know if the booking games actually work. I was also going to do a booking tree as well and have a prize on the back of the index card for booking that date with me. I don't know if thats too much or just right. My main goal right now is to get bookings so yea....if you have any suggestion what worked for you I would love to know. The show is the Bites and Bevs party. If you have any suggestions for that as well that would be helpful too!! I appreciate it!!
 
I wouldn't do both personally - don't overwelm - just make it fun and informative and the bookings will follow - plus, isn't it a family member or friend? Offer them an incentive to get someone to book if you have no bookings by the end of the show - good luck and have a great show!
 
The whole games deal is a personality thing, I think. Some people do really well with them, and love to do games - others of us are just not game people. I don't like doing games, I don't like going to parties where I have to play games...so I don't do them......

I guess what I am trying to say is - try it. If you like doing games, than go for it, and have fun with it. But don't feel like you have to play games in order to have a fun successful party and get bookings!
