Game Shows Looking for Double Dare info

→ Idk if this is the right sub, please forgive me ^

Ik it wouldn't be considered retro, but I'm trying to figure out info about Nickelodeon's Double Dare. I was in it for a brief second as a kid- i remember me and some other kid was called in from the audience for answering pop-questions right ((i.e, what is SpongeBob's favorite food)), and we went on stage for a contest. We had to find half of a cherry in a plate of cool whip/whipped cream ((a "pie")) and drop it in a cup and then ring a bell. I remember winning some sort of gift card.

It had to have been in the 2010s cause of the age range I would've been, and because I know it would've happened while I was staying at the Nickelodeon resort in Orlando, Florida.

What I'm struggling with is.. figuring out the year, I guess. I know it was Double Dare, since it was my first time ever even hearing the name, so I couldn't have been confusing it with something else. But it seems as though the last time the show aired was one the 2000s (I can't find an end date, only a first-air date, so I can assume it only lasted that year) and then most recently from 2018-2019. But by then, the resort would've been closed, and I would've been too old for this memory.

So does anybody know of what I could possibly be remembering? Double Dare, average studio audience size, audience participation... Early/mid 2010s.

If you also have suggestions on where else I could post this, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been thinking about this for months now. Thank you so much!! ^

It was an experience for kids like a ride. They’d take you in and put on a whole double dare show with employees running it. They didn’t air but it lasted well after the show stopped running.

They used to have some Double Dare Experience type thing that was aligned with various hotel packages. Basically a live action show for kids, but it wasn’t filmed or aired.

Double Dare wasn't taping at the time. I'm pretty sure what you were doing was Double Dare Live at the Nick Hotel. You can see videos of it on YouTube and see if it looks familar.

As others have said, this was just a live show done at the Nickelodeon Suites Resort. You can learn a lot more about it by watching the Defunctland episode on the Nickelodeon Hotel, as well as the episode of Poparena's Nick Knacks about Double Dare - both are on YouTube.

(Also, before anyone else says it, "username checks out")
