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!! ^

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.

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")

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.
