Who Wants to Be?


Who Wants to Be? is a spontaneous. participatory game-show where the audience have all the answers, set the questions and decide the rules!

Using an 'ask the audience' system and all the drama, lights and action of the TV game-show, participants in 'Who Wants to Be'? can propose ideas, discuss them, and then make decisions about almost anything - including changing how the game works.

Previous games have enabled 100 people to decide what to do with £1000 of their own money, how to redevelop a public park, and most recently - how to create an advert for Peckham - heart of beautiful South London.
