Ahead of its grand opening at Las Vegas’ AREA15 on Friday, December 19, Great Big Game Show is giving the community a playful preview—with a purpose.

To celebrate the upcoming launch, the immersive game show experience welcomed three very special “hosts” for a “FUR”st look. Adoptable dogs from Las Vegas based The Animal Foundation dressed as game show icons ready to steal the spotlight during this fun event.

A Fur-tastic Partnership Between The Animal Foundation, The Escape Game, And Great Big Game Show

A fun event highlighted a feel-good partnership between The Escape Game, Great Big Game Show, and The Animal Foundation, with a portion of proceeds from December AREA15 ticket sales being donated to support local animal welfare efforts. The goal is to help some amazing pups find their forever homes—mirroring the brand’s own journey as it finds its newest home in Las Vegas.

Blending entertainment, community impact, and a touch of humor, the initiative underscores how AREA15’s newest attraction is kicking off its Vegas debut by giving back and spreading some much-needed holiday cheer with the help of some loveable furry friends.

Introducing: DROOL Carey, Bob ‘BARK-er,’ And ‘PET’ Sajak

Three lucky pups were chosen to have some Great Big Game Show fun. And they knocked it out of the park!

Rebel, AKA DROOL Carey, a shaggy heartthrob you didn’t realize was missing from your life. Rebel may have a rugged, rebel-worthy look, but beneath all the scruff, he’s a total sweetheart. He’s gentle with treats, soft in spirit, and happiest soaking up the simple things, such as walks, cuddles, and snacks! (See photo below)

And then there’s Rasta, AKA Bob “BARK”er, a 9-year-old pup who has perfected the art of relaxation. A true gentleman, he also has a silly side his new owner will just adore. He loves the leash, knows how to sit and shake, and gets into the car like a seasoned traveler. (Rasta is seen in top pic under sub-heading)

Let’s not forget about Patrick, AKA “PET” Sajak. He’s kind, calm, and intelligent with a heart full of love. He’s well behaved and highly trainable, making him your perfect bestie! He responds to commands – sit, come here, and give paw – and is full of happiness. (See above photo)

AREA15 Debuted The Escape Game Last Week

On December 12, AREA15 debuted one of its newest attractions – The Escape Game. This is the attraction’s 55th location nationwide.

“Las Vegas has always been the entertainment capital of the world, and AREA15 represents its future, as a place where creativity, technology, and storytelling collide, Jonathan Murrell, co-founder and CMO of The Escape Game said, according to a press release sent to The 702. “Bringing The Escape Game and Great Big Game Show here allows us to push the boundaries of live, shared experiences and offer locals, visitors, and groups a new way to connect, compete, and create epic memories.”

The Escape Game spans 5,642 square feet of adrenaline rushing fun with six multi-room, story-driven adventures that combine puzzles, movie-quality detail, and lots of laughs. They offer fan favorites such as Prison Break, Cosmic, Crisis, and Ruins: Forbidden Treasure, and will add two new experiences to the Las Vegas location – Special Ops: Mysterious Market and Legend of the Yeti.

Each 60-minute game immerses players in a detailed world where every clue counts and every thought and decision can take you one step closer to solving the mystery and escaping the room.
