On-Location Guide
Celebrate America with a high-energy virtual experience that feels more like a game night than a history lesson. The Americana Retro Game Show combines the excitement of classic television game shows with the unforgettable stories, personalities, and turning points that shaped the United States from the 1740s to 1776.
Perfect for July 4th celebrations, company gatherings, ERG events, leadership retreats, summer intern team building, this interactive experience invites your team to laugh, compete, collaborate, and explore the road to independence alongside one of America’s most fascinating figures: Benjamin Franklin.
The Americana Retro Game Show is intentionally non-partisan, inclusive, and welcoming to everyone. We aren’t discussing modern politics, current events, elections, or policy debates.
Instead, we’re doing what we do best: bringing history to life through storytelling, humor, and interactive games.
Your team will play their way through history by competing in:
- Jeopardy-style trivia challenges
- Name That Tune musical guessing games
- Price is Right-inspired contests based on colonial life and revolutionary America
- Explore historic sites in Philadelphia via video with UTT’s owner
While the experience is a natural fit for Independence Day celebrations, it’s designed to work year-round, including during Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
Because at its core, this isn’t a program about politics.
It’s a program about people, stories, innovation, music, culture, and the unexpected moments that shaped a nation.
And that’s a game everyone can play.
