Abstract
A system and method are provided wherein players become eligible to compete in a game show. Authorized communication-enabled locations are configured with a transmitter device that broadcasts an ID signal unique to the location or a receiver that receives an ID signal unique to a particular player. The players are provided with capability to receive the unique ID signals emitted by the transmitter devices, or to broadcast the ID signal unique to the player for receipt by the receiver in the locations. A game server receives a transmission that includes at least part of one of the ID unique signals, thereby identifying all of the players and their respective communication-enabled location. The game server randomly selects contestants for a game show from all of the players in the communication-enabled locations. A personalized message is provided to the players in the communication-enabled locations informing them of the game show and whether they were randomly selected to compete in the game show.
