Everything about Game Show totally explainedA game show is a type of television program in which members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, play a game, which is likely to involve answering quiz questions for points or prizes. In some shows contestants compete against other players or another team whilst other shows involve contestants striving alone for a good outcome or high score. Game shows often reward players with prizes such as cash, or holidays and goods and services provided by the show's sponsors. Early television game shows descended from similar programs on broadcast radio.
Game shows around the world
Argentina
Australia
As with most countries, Australia has made many adaptations of U.S. based game shows, most of which copy the U.S. version's set, particularly with the Grundy shows.

While Belgium has three main languages, most of their game shows tend to be in Dutch. One notable exception is an adaptation of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on RTL-TVI, which is a French-language station. There is also a Dutch-language version which airs on VTM.

Canada
Canadian game and quiz shows (at least the English-language ones) have often been aimed towards children and teenagers between the ages of six and 19. A majority of these game shows often run for 30 minutes in each episode.
They are often derived of its formats from game shows that are produced in the United States, having most of them been run on Canadian networks such as CTV, Global and Citytv. One of the only actual English prime time game shows to air on Canadian television is Deal or No Deal Canada.
Although American game and quiz shows are popular in Canada, Canadian residents are not eligible to be contestants on most of them, Jeopardy! and The Price Is Right being two exceptions. Unlike in the United States, game show winnings in Canada are not subject to income tax (actually, most countries sans US are not subject to income tax).
There are very few Canadian adaptaions of American, British, and Dutch-originated quiz shows in the English language. Most, like versions of The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, and Family Feud, are in French. The only known English-language versions of these shows are versions of Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, & Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. There is also a French-language version of Deal or No Deal (and soon a version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. Most of the game shows that air in Canada and that are in English are the US game shows.
