Obviously, chairs that can go backward through the wall.

This made me smile.

As far as my own cave/shed one wall would be the HR '87 Big Numbers setup.  The second wall would be Remote Control themed, only with a modern TV setup.  Wall number three would be a set of three doors leading to other areas of the basement.  The fourth would display various board games and memorabilia.

One wall would have a turntable, a la Bill’s and Batgirl’s. There’d be a bar on one side designed after the original Shell Game counter. The TV would be in a display like the Gambit Board’s behind large playing card doors with lights. Desks like the contestants’ from Match Game ‘73 would be nice for taking meals. If there’s room, a tri-panel board like Jack Kelly’s to display art.

...I think several of us have decorated our basements in Early American Game Show...or putting up 8x10s you've collected...if you're a fan and you have the freedom and imagination, there's really no limit.

Most of the walls in my apartment bedroom are covered in GS photos; many of them are screengrabs that I made myself.

Cordially,
Tammy

My friends own a Shut the Box board game, so the High Rollers table from 87 would be a fun little conversation piece along with a replica of the Big Numbers on the wall. They also have a shuffleboard table, so maybe the board from Twisters goes in a different part of the room.

On another wall is a replica Feud board with a rotating trilon. On one side, the Ferranti-Packard board to display immature messages...rotate 120-degrees and its a big-screen to watch the game...then the third side is..........something.

And maybe one of those conversation pits from German Pyramid, minus the monitor.

I've always been partial to egg-crate displays.  I'd love to have one in my basement that could display scores and also count down the seconds.

If money was no object, a Vestaboard would certainly be a fun addition for game nights.

My idea to have a friend create some game show icons on kitchen backsplash tiles never got off the ground though I moved over to coasters after a visit to Emerald City Comic-Con.

I have an eight of clubs from the 70s/80s Card Sharks to go with Dr. Klauss's 6-7 image for the biggest three card run cribbage would ever see. I'm not much for artistic renderings right now, though I would love logos to be printed on greeting or postcards I could send out more than hanging crap on my bookshelves.

One of my options when house hunting was a converted music shop, complete with a professional basement that likely took up all of the 1400 sq ft. The house didn't fit my needs, but as I was looking, I thought it would've been a great space for a production studio.

I imagine one of the hurdles to fully embracing the game show theme is that most of them involve bright lights and standing, two things that don't mix with the idea of TV room.

Who says some of us aren't already doing that with our offices or basements?  I have pretty much rendered my basement as useless since my hospitalization 5+ years ago, but I do have a framed replica (?) credit roll from The Who, What, or Where Game pilot, given to Ronnie Greenberg after an anniversary of that show down there.  My office is my new main area, with the Money Cards deck from Card Sharks earlier this decade (still debating if/how to display them), the Beat the Clock animation cel (also debating how to display it since I have read contrasting opinions about properly preserving it), well over a dozen signed photos, and the obligatory wall of home games.

Anything that dropped down from the ceiling would be awesome.

The $ale of the Century cash jackpot sign or the sign that displayed the grand total on Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak.

/Still can't believe the latter was only used on one game show.
I am happy to see I am not the only person who appreciates that sign from Hot Streak.
