Make sure that you are aware of the eligibility criteria. Most shows would require contestants to be over 18 and the residents of that particular nation. Also, you must not be a politician or an employee of that show. However, there are exceptions to these rules, depending on the nature of the show. Moreover, some are likely to choose contestants from the audience so it is important that you plan accordingly and get tickets before-hand. This could be a tiring process as the audience spends hours on the studio set. Make sure that you have time to spare and stay on the set for long hours.

It is better to take the normal route and leave the rest on luck. Visit the game show’s website to learn about auditioning and other necessary requirements. Most often you have to travel to another city, but filling the application form will still be the preferred starting point. If you get selected, and other logistics permit, then you may just be inclined to travel.
In some cases, you will need to visit the TV network’s official website to obtain the details. After filling out the application, game shows may hold an open casting call. -
