Why I started a game show – Kie Kie

Media personality cum brand influencer, Bukunmi Adeaga- Ilori, popularly known as Kie Kie, has explained why she started a game show tagged Kie Kie unscripted Experience.

According to the skit-maker, Nigerian has a lot of talent, which have yet to be tapped and she feels the game show will unlock those hidden talents.

She said, “I don’t want people to miss out on opportunities. I have a large platform with millions of followers, and I want to use it to create a space where talented individuals can be seen and appreciated.”

Kie Kie said the show would provide a platform where individuals will showcase their talents.

“The Kiekie Unscripted Experience aims to give a platform to many extremely talented people. The platform allows people to freely express themselves, and that’s where the word ‘unscripted’ from. I believe people are brimming with extraordinary talents or even an inspiring tale waiting to be heard, and the show is an opportunity to illuminate the world with these stories and talents”

And after months of anticipation, Kie Kie said the talent game show is officially set to premiere on YouTube on February 28, 2025.

“Fans who have been eagerly waiting for updates can now breathe a sigh of relief as the show is set to kick off. From music and comedy to dance and unpredictable antics, viewers can expect a wild ride of talent, interesting games, surprises, and internet-breaking moments,” she enthused.

With a mix of thrilling games, intense challenges, and raw talent, Kiekie said the participants will have the opportunity to showcase their unique skills and win fantastic prizes.

She broke down some of the key segments on the show, including music, dance, comedy, and cooking.

“The main segments here are: ‘Impress the Audience’, ‘Blast it Up’, ‘The Big Stage’, while others are: ‘Back to School’, ‘Balloon Busters’, ‘Backward Racers’, ‘Climbers’, ‘The Freezer Game’, ‘The Negotiator’,” she said.

Even as Kie Kie is at the helm of the show, the skit maker said her colleagues in the industry are set to bring a unique, unscripted flair to the stage.

“The show will also feature thrilling celebrity-led games, with appearances from fan-favourites like Broda Shaggi, Veekee James, Bisola, Hilda Baci, Mama Deola, Nas Boi, Akah Nnani, and more. We have 11 segments, but 10 segments are where you win on the show. The last segment is ‘Talk To Me’. It is the segment that is from the original concept of the way you sit down and tell your experiences. So there’s no winner in this segment and it is the only conversation-based segment we have on the show.”
