Background
EA Sports GameShow was a free Windows download that offered live trivia sessions hosted by a team of radio professionals. Players gathered in rooms based on geography or team interests, competing for high scores in their room, region, and overall. Each 15-minute session typically had 15 questions in three groups of five, with occasional Lightning rounds that doubled questions and halved answer time. Faster answers earned higher scores, and players received tokens for correct answers and top scores, which could be spent on power-ups, avatar parts, or raffle prizes.
