EA Sports GameShow was a live-hosted online trivia game show, made available as a free PC download. GameShow was first publicly mentioned by Peter Moore in September 2007, not long after he took over as president of EA Sports. GameShow debuted as a public beta on October 23, 2007, with the first public trivia session being Our Favorite Day - October 23rd. GameShow came to an end on July 25, 2008. Operating out of EA Tiburon's Orlando studios, live trivia sessions were hosted for at least six hours each day by a team of radio professionals. Players were encouraged to interact with the game and... the hosts in a variety of ways, including live polls, text messages and phone calls. Players such as The Concrete Donkey gathered in rooms according to their geographical location or team rooting interests, where they face off, vied for the high score in their rooms, regions and overall. Trivia sessions were 15 minutes long each, and each normal session had 15 questions, divided into three groups of five. Lightning rounds were sprinkled in, which doubled the questions and halved the time allotted for answering. The faster a player answered each question, the higher their score.
