Party Game (game show)

Party Game (game show)

"Party Game" was a Canadian television game show in the 1970s. The show was produced by Hamilton independent station CHCH from 1970 to 1980, and aired throughout Canada in syndication.

Hosted by Bill Walker, the show featured two teams of three players in a charades competition. The Challenger Team was composed of a contestant joined with two guest star players who appeared either for a single day or for the whole week, while the Home Team consisted of series regulars Jack Duffy, Dinah Christie and Billy Van. Answers were usually complex phrases based around a pun or some other form of wordplay.

The voice-over announcer who announced each charade was credited as "Gardiner Westbound", an obvious nod to a stretch of the Gardiner Expressway in Downtown Toronto, but was actually producer Rafael Markowitz.

The show's theme music was "Bond Street" by Burt Bacharach.

"Party Game" was produced by Rafael Markowitz, the executive producer (and star) of "The Randy Dandy Show" and executive producer of "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein". "Party Game" was produced in a double suite at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto.

The set was a simple living room type with couches and a few wall pictures and pieces.

Personal Encounters

Bill Walker summered north of Toronto at Lake of Bays, Ontario and frequented the resorts known as Britannia and Bigwin Inn.
