A phone-in game show is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. It is a logical extension of the concept of a [[Home Participation Sweepstakes]], except in this case, the ''whole'' show is one. These are a form of live [[Game Show]] where viewers can call in to a special number and hopefully get a chance to come on air to potentially win something by providing an answer to a question or logic puzzle. They were quite popular in Europe as a fixture of late-night television on commercial television channels, and even on dedicated ''quiz channels'' that dedicated their lineup to ''just'' this genre. If done right, they can at least be [[Rule of Fun|fun to watch]], and leave you wondering if you should even phone in and give it a shot yourself!

* [[Screwed by the Network]]: The 0898-gate scandals caused almost every single phone-in quiz game on-air in the United Kingdom to get affected in some way. Quite a few of them got either put on hiatus or cancelled.
