YAY, SOMEONE HAS WON A PRIZE! We can't simply announce that in a dull voice, or just yell it out. In order to signify the win, let's have some blinking, flashing lights. Or if it's the Grand Prize, let's throw a strobe light in for good measure! Usually included with Confetti Drop or Big Win Sirens, if the prize is large enough. Sometimes seen in media other than game shows, like video games. Not to be confused with Fireworks of Victory as the two rarely overlap. |

The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime takes this to an extreme, but not overboard, considering the eponymous amount of the grand prize; flashing strobes and fireworks upon the flashing $1,000,000 light display both in the background, flashing keys and lights on the computer stage prop in the foreground, chasing neon lights on the money podium in front, and sweeping studio lights of multiple colors. | |

On Pyramid: Classic Era: If a player won the The Winner's Circle, lights inside the dollar amounts on the pyramid board blink, the trilons holding the categories and dollar amounts move around, and the lights around the board form a chasing pattern. Modern Era: If a player won the The Winner's Circle, lights on the walls and arches blink, with a digital Confetti Drop on the category board. |

Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego: When a contestant got 8 markers in their proper spots on the map, the studio lights would swing about wildly, with a newspaper graphic popping up on-screen with the headline "[CONTESTANT] CAPTURES CARMEN!" | |

Dicey Dungeons: Fitting the game show aesthetic, the "combat victory" screen involves a sign surrounded with blinking lights, with more lights in the lettering. | |

On Tic-Tac-Dough w/Wink Martindale, whenever a game was decided in favor of either X or O, a special victory stinger version of the theme music was played (longer in case of car wins for X; champions got cars for every five wins they achieved), and the chase lights around the oval backdrop of Xs and Os (two sets, one outside, one inside) cascaded from the middle to the top (on the top half of that backdrop), and from the middle to the bottom (on the bottom half). The chase lights on the board also cascaded from right to left (and vice versa), and down to up (and vice versa). The winning pattern on the board for the victorious player also had flowing chase lights around each of the boxes in that pattern, and the three Xs or three Os in the winning line appeared and disappeared rapidly in a cycle; there were also red chase lights in the pot display, and the pot total for the winning player cycled in and out (these chase lights were also in the Tic Tac Dough title display on the floor of the set, and flowed around that as well). | |

When a family wins the Fast Money Round on the Steve Harvey-hosted version of Family Feud, the entire studio quickly shifts and flashes rainbow colors. | |

The Price Is Right Whenever a contestant wins a game, the lights making up a number display or parts of the stage props, and even the lights on the stage doors, blink and flash. With a big dollar amount from $10,000 and higher, the amount won often flashes on the screen. If a contestant in the 1970s up to around the end of Barker's tenure won both showcases at the end of the show, the words "DOUBLE SHOWCASE WINNER" would flash on screen. In at least one instance, a glitch caused the ENTIRE screen to flash white (The white was the color for keying in the graphic). In a subversion, the short-lived "Professor Price" had moving characters and props on the game structure, so on both of its wins, when a player won, not only would lights surrounding the price of the prize blink, an owl would flap its wings, a cuckoo clock's hands would go crazy, and the Professor would continue nodding. On the original Price, the winning contestant's frozen bid in that game would flash. At the show's end, the top score would simply have an asterisk to the left with no flashing. |

America's Got Talent: This is both inverted and played straight: A full-four-count buzzer causes the background to go red, and the lights flash mockingly. HOWEVER, if the act is a particularly amazing or touching act, and a judge presses the Golden Buzzer, the entire stage turns gold with strobing lights. | |

Deal or No Deal: The US version does this any time the contestant accepts the Banker’s offer, or wins the top prize. The UK version only does this for the top prize wins. A bright flash is seen when the confetti cannon is shot, and the studio flashes multiple colored lights. |

From a more-obscure gameshow, Whew!, when a contestant won the $25,000 bonus round, all of the lights in the studio would flash and blink, including the cyclorama background which would shift from red to blue. | |

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? When a contestant successfully answers the top-prize question, in developed countries (such as the United States, Germany, Russia, or Japan, for example), the studio lights brighten up, sweep around, and strobe, along with the Confetti Drop. Sometimes averted in countries that cannot afford the flashy effects. Although, in an inversion, if the contestant gets any of the answers wrong, only the correct answer on the contestant's screen blinks. |

Wheel of Fortune: From its inception, any puzzleboard that had lights in them would form a chase pattern when the puzzle was solved. From the start of the modern era in 2007 with the flatscreen displays, the blue lights around the puzzleboard shift colors and flash white. | |
