NOTICE: The Sound Stage Image of Fun House that's shown is from the European Version, NOT the USA Version.

This is for those who are unfamiliar with the TV Show on Fox Network from 1988 to 1991 where players compete in Messy Games, Answer General Knowledge Questions and run through the Fun House to win Cash and Prizes.

This section is also outside the main IC for the guild.

The PSA starts with Zydori and Kayley talking about Fun House
Hello, I'm Zydori from the Mermaid Princess RP Guild. Kayley is with me by the way. As you can see behind this sheet is a new OOC Game based on a game on Fox Network that's about to be revived soon. Kayley, I wouldn't touch that sheet if I were you since its still under construction. Zydori said to Kayley.


= Introduction to Fun House
Narrator: This game rivaled the Syndication Version of Double Dare in 1988. I'm talking about Fun House.
Fun House is one of the messiest games of the late 1980s built on Double Dare's Foundation. Fun House first started in September 1988 then moved to Fox Network in Fall 1990 until its closure on April 1991.
The Residing Host of Fun House is JD Roth from New Jersey who was seen on Television shows since he was 10 years old and was a host on the Kids Magazine Wonder-Rama.
He also Hosted Masters of the Maze & ZooVenture's First 2 Seasons.
The Announcer was John Hurley for Seasons 1-2. By Season 3, Michael Chambers, who was a Rap Artist, took the role as the announcer.
The Show also had a pair of cheerleaders being the Forest Twins who cheered on the Players.
The Narrator said to the viewers and characters

= Fun House: Gameplay
Narrator: The Game is played with 2 teams, one red and one gold/yellow.
The Goal of the game was to score by competing in messy stunts.
Some of the stunts included getting items into a bin. Others would have one person to be the least likeliest to be slimed.
The Team that wins the Stunt scores $25 or if there was a tie, BOTH Teams scored.
After that, a question about the stunt or General Knowledge would be asked which is also worth $25 and in Season 3, the other team would be pied. After the Stunts came the Fun House GP Race.
The Narrator said to the characters

= Fun House: GP Race
Narrator: The Fun House GP Race determined which Team proceeded to the Fun House Maze as it came in 2 Formats.
The First was vehicle based with one teammate driving while the other rides & they switched positions for the second lap.
The Second was a relay race with one lap for each teammate. Several challenges were set up around the course that each team had to complete on his or her run such as messy stunts to preform and collect tokens along the way...
White Tokens were worth $10 and Blue Tokens were worth $25. For the tokens to be counted, they had to be inside the person's carrying bag or inside the vehicle & if a token was dropped onto the floor it was out of action and can't be picked up. A Token Bank is added later where the the runner would collect a handful of tokens on the second lap.
The Token Bank that I would setup would have 4 tokens, 2 $10 & $25 Tokens each. The First team to cross the finish wins an additional $25. After the race, the tokens gathered by the teams are added up. The Team with the Highest Score at the end wins the game and proceeds to the Fun House Maze.
If there was a Tie, then the host would ask a Tiebreaker Question.
The Narrator said to the characters

= Fun House: Endgame
Narrator: The Fun House Endgame is a 3 Floor Building Set which began with the water slide. During the Endgame, there were 7 Tags, 3 Red which had Prizes, 3 Green which had Cash Prizes that ranged from $50 to $250 and a Power Prize which had a Vacation Trip Prize.
When the Bonus started, the first player would grab any 3 Prize Tags that person can then his or her teammate would be up to get the remaining prize tags for 2 Minutes.
So the way, I plan to do is that one player would try to get as many tags as he or she can while other player will get the remaining tags that he or she missed.
There's also an 8th Prize being a Glop Clock that was added in Fun House's Final Season. When a Player finds that then that player would gain 15 Seconds of Extra Time. So instead, in the OOC Game Version, I'll have 2 Glob Clocks which contain Bonus Prizes, one Prize & one Cash Prize ranging from $50 to $300.
The Narrator said to the characters

= Fun House: Closure Part 1 - 1990 Updates
Narrator: Like Double Dare, Fun House was a smash hit but then Fun House faced its problems in 1990 which was the unexpected passing of Bob Synes who was the Executive Producer who passed at age 58. Bob Synes was Scott Stone's closest friend and as a result, Scott Stone sold Fun House to Fox Network.
But Fun House moved on as in September 1990, MC Mike took over as the announcer. New Stunts were added such as the Dumpmaster where players tossed slime into buckets in hopes that the other team gets slimed.
In the Fun House GP, they sometimes brought animals into the race.
The Endgame was given a massive boost where the Fun House was increased not just in Difficulty but in Design which looks like 2 Houses into 1 which had multiple paths that scale in Difficulty.
Another addition is the Mystery Cash Tag that ranged from $50 to $200. So that will be included in the OOC Game Version as well making a total of 11 Prizes.
The Narrator said to the characters

= Fun House: Closure Part 2 - Building Condemned
Narrator: Sadly, Fun House did not last long enough. It was a daily show to being with but was put on Fox Kids to promote the show during its weekly timing.
This caused Fun House to get axed as Weekly Game Shows were less common as it was costly for 22 Episode and Fun House was dismantled as it aired its last game in May 1991.
The Narrator said to the characters

= Fun House: Reception
Narrator: Stone Stanley Productions would not be without a show for long as Shop Til You Drop, being their longest Running Game aired on the Lifetime Channel that year which ran for 14 years.
In 1993, Legends of the Hidden Temple aired on Nickelodeon which I'll talk about later on.
