Game Changer is a game show on Dropout created by Sam Reich. The show has rotating contestants, typically three players, participating in a new game every episode. The players usually come into the show with no knowledge of the premise and rules of the game. Game Changer has produced four spinoff shows: Dirty Laundry, Make Some Noise, Play It By Ear, and Crowd Control.
Susana Polo, an entertainment editor at Polygon, describes Game Changer as a combination of "improv comedy, puzzle solving, fierce competition, and a prankster ethos."[1] She also describes the show as, "like Saw, but instead of people captured by a serial killer, it’s improv comics captured by video producers within the trap of their own performing instincts."[1]
