in Evanston.

Fast-paced game show format hosted by a pro emcee — perfect for company kickoffs, holiday parties, and all-hands.

Chicago team building serves three audiences — Loop and West Loop / Fulton Market corporate HQs (law, finance, agency, tech) that want polished indoor formats, North Shore corporates and university-affiliated teams (Northwestern in Evanston, north-suburban HQs) that want gala-adjacent experiences, and convention-week internal teams in town for McCormick shows. We host outdoor scavenger hunts through Millennium Park and the Riverwalk in shoulder seasons, custom murder mysteries at private Fulton Market and River North venues, and game shows for all-hands at the Chicago Athletic Association and the Aon Grand Ballroom. Working improv performers as hosts, cold-weather uniform protocol when the call requires it. All staff are 100% W-2.

Showcraft serves Evanston and the surrounding IL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Evanston is the North Shore's university-and-corporate anchor — Northwestern University drives a year-round calendar of fundraising galas, partnership events, and Welsh-Ryan Arena / Ryan Field game-day brand work, plus the downtown Evanston / Sherman Avenue corridor hosts a real retail and dining event run. We staff registration and check-in for Northwestern alumni and fundraising events, sponsor-zone activations at Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Field, brand ambassadors for downtown Evanston retail launches, and hospitality crews for Hilton Orrington and Hyatt Place offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong polish — comfortable with university-affiliated and gala clientele. All staff are 100% W-2.

FAQ · MINUTE TO WIN IT SHOW in EVANSTON

Questions Evanston buyers ask about minute to win it show.

What's the right team size for a Minute to Win It show in Evanston?+

Best fit is 30-200 in Evanston. Smaller groups can do it (we densify the participation rounds) and larger groups in Chicago scale up with contestant rotations and crew. Most Evanston bookings are 50-120 — that's the format's sweet spot.

Where do you run Minute to Win It shows in Evanston?+

Your venue, office, or any space with a small stage area and screens for Evanston bookings. Hotel ballrooms, corporate event spaces, and outdoor venues across Chicago all work. We need roughly a 15x15 performance area, AV access, and 90 minutes of show runtime.

Do you handle props, hosts, and scoring for Evanston Minute to Win It bookings?+

Yes — fully turnkey. Pro emcee, all the game props (we ship to your Evanston venue), scoring system, and a small crew running the show. You bring the team and a couple of branded prizes if you want. We handle everything else.

Can you theme a Minute to Win It show to my Evanston company?+

Yes — we'll re-skin the games, slides, and emcee patter around your company or theme (corporate kickoff, holiday party, sales team rally). For deep customization send the brief 2-3 weeks out so the host can write company-specific bits into the show for your Evanston group.
