Game shows have been a staple of television for as long as the medium has existed. Like many TV series, some game shows aired only briefly, while others stayed alive for decades, with plenty of stalwarts still airing today. While there are some new game shows that debut on television occasionally, a large majority of them are reboots or revivals of classics.
It’s no wonder TV networks return to the best game shows again and again to breathe new life into them. With an endless supply of new contestants and even new hosts, a tried and true game show format can stay relevant indefinitely. When it comes to the opinions of IMDb users, game show fans have made clear which titles of the genre stand out from the rest.
10 Family Feud – 7.1
Family Feud is one of the most well-known game shows of all time and beats out many other popular, long-running, still active game shows similar to it when it comes to IMDb rankings. The game, which pits families (and sometimes even celebrities) against each other, is highly engaging and easy to play along with at home, so it is no surprise that audiences have enjoyed it consistently for years now.
Debuting in 1976, Family Feud has gone through a variety of hosts in its 45-year life on the air. The show started off with the ever-memorable Richard Dawson who was the face of the show for quite a while, but today sees comedian Steve Harvey in the role.
9 Figure It Out – 7.2
During its ’90s heyday, Nickelodeon was a popular hub of game shows in addition to its cartoons and children’s sitcoms. While classic Nickelodeon game shows were clearly targeted toward children, a majority of them were still entertaining for all audiences, and Figure It Out is clearly no exception based on its high IMDb score.
Figure It Out was a game show that involved a designated contestant who was interviewed by panelists using yes or no questions in order to determine the contestant’s secret skill. First debuting in 1997, Figure It Out is reminiscent of even older games shows like What’s My Line? and I’ve Got A Secret but catered to younger audiences. One of the most memorable aspects of Figure It Out was Nickelodeon’s signature slime that panelists were always likely to endure throughout the show.
8 Double Dare – 7.4
Yet another Nickelodeon game show, Double Dare finds itself among the highest rated game shows of all time on IMDb. The show was a challenge of both brains and brawn in which two teams of child contestants competed head to head in trivia and stunt battles.
Double Dare was Nickelodeon’s first ever game show, premiering in 1986. It was revived shortly in 2000, but the most recent Double Dare series reboot from Nickelodeon came along in 2018 with Liza Koshy as the host. Although Double Dare is no longer on the air, it remains the foundation of all other great Nickelodeon game shows to come after.
7 Supermarket Sweep – 7.5
The epitome of ’90s game shows can be found in Supermarket Sweep, a competition that tests contestants’ trivia knowledge as well as their shopping skills. The show is energetic, engaging, and tons of fun to watch, which perhaps is what makes it so popular among IMDb audiences.
Supermarket Sweep originally aired very shortly in the 1960s before a 1990 revival made a more significant impact on audiences. The series was revived again in 2020, this time with iconic comedian Leslie Jones as the host. This version is still currently airing on ABC. Additionally, many episodes of the ’90s Supermarket Sweep are available to stream on Netflix.
6 Press Your Luck – 7.5
The eccentric Press Your Luck is one of the most high-energy game shows of all time. Like many other game shows, Press Your Luck was partly a trivia game, but the main event was the light-up board full of various prizes that contestants could win at the push of a button. Notoriously, the board also featured “whammies,” little red animated critters who would redact winning earnings from players.
“No whammies, no whammies!” is the signature phrase associated with Press Your Luck, chanted by contestants as they’d go up for a chance to win big during the show. Its main run was from 1983 to 1986, but most recently it saw a 2019 ABC revival hosted by renowned actress Elizabeth Banks that is still on the air today.
5 The Price Is Right – 7.5
The longest-running game show in television history, The Price Is Right, is also unsurprisingly one of the highest rated of all time. The Price Is Right started off with a short stint in the mid-1950s, then again in the mid-1960s, but it really took off when it premiered yet again with adored host Bob Barker in 1972. It has been on the air ever since then, with Drew Carey hosting the show currently.
The show’s premise is simple: Contestants guess prices of everyday items, play minigames, and compete for valuable prizes ranging from cash to cars to all-expenses-paid vacations. One of the best aspects of the show is the quirky, enthusiastic contestants and their hilarious reactions to winning or losing.
4 To Tell The Truth – 7.6
A panel of celebrities must guess which two of three contestants are lying about their identities in the classic game show To Tell The Truth. The celebrities are tasked with asking a series of questions to determine which contestant is the real person described to them. Much of To Tell The Truth’s success is due to how fun it can be to guess along at home.
To Tell The Truth is one of the many classic game shows that has received quite a lot of installments since it first debuted. The original show that aired from 1956 to 1968 is a favorite among IMDb users, but the concept itself is clearly adored by audiences as it continues to find success in its remakes. The most recent revival debuted in 2016 with actor Anthony Anderson hosting.
3 Legends Of The Hidden Temple – 8.1
According to IMDb, the best Nickelodeon game show of all time is by far Legends of the Hidden Temple. This children’s game show is highly memorable for its incredible set, and most notably the talking stone head named Olmec. Contestants had to negotiate a variety of challenges, most of which involved physical obstacles and puzzles, in order to find treasure within the temple.
The original Legends Of The Hidden Temple was on the air from 1993 to 1995. It is beloved for being so engaging and complex, yet still accessible to an all-ages audience. The show it set for a highly anticipated reboot in October of 2021 on The CW.
2 Jeopardy! – 8.2
The long-running trivia game show Jeopardy! is so popular that it can be enjoyed by even the most casual of television watchers. Nearly everyone with a TV is likely familiar with the Jeopardy! format in which contestants are given answers to trivia facts and must respond in the form of a question.
Famed host Alex Trebek was a staple of the show since its 1984 revival, but Jeopardy! has gone through a plethora of guest hosts recently following Trebek’s death in November of 2020. There is much controversy about permanently replacing the beloved host, but regardless of who takes over the show, Jeopardy! is still likely to be forever regarded as one of the best game shows ever made, at least according to IMDb.
1 Match Game – 8.3
Thanks to its panel of hilarious celebrities and zany questions for contestants, IMDb users rank the original Match Game as the best game show in television history. Match Game contestants are given prompts for which they must fill in the blank and hope they’d have the same answer as the star-studded celebrity panelists, which often included names like Richard Dawson and Betty White.
Though a game show, Match Game was mostly known for being so comedic. The hilarious combination of celebrities almost always resulted in witty banter and funny responses that kept the show engaging. The actual game was almost beside the point. The original Match Game ran from 1962 to 1969, but the revival in 1973 and onward was what stuck with audiences the most. It has also received many remakes over the years, the most recent hosted by Alec Baldwin.
