Fallout Shelter: How to Merge Rooms

By merging rooms into double or triple rooms in Fallout Shelter, you can increase the number of inhabitants assigned to each space.

Updated June 14, 2026 by Usama Ali: The Game Show Gauntlet is one of Fallout Shelter's most unique weekly missions. It tests players on their knowledge of Fallout lore rather than their combat skills alone. Since the questions and answers vary depending on the randomly assigned duration of the mission, knowing the answers to the trivia each week can really help you. We've updated this guide with new information on how to unlock the Game Show Gauntlet and an FAQ section explaining why different players get different question pools and what happens when you answer a question incorrectly.

How to unlock the Game Show Gauntlet in Fallout Shelter

The Game Show Gauntlet (also known in-game as the “Lose Your Head” quiz) is a recurring weekly quest in Fallout Shelterbut it doesn't appear right away when you start playing. You need to unlock it first.

To unlock the Game Show Gauntlet questline, you must build the supervisory office. This is the main structure that enables all quest-based exploration in the Wasteland. Once built, this room allows you to send teams of Dwellers on structured quests and track them through the quest system.

The Game Show Gauntlet will then start appearing regularly as a weekly quest in your active quest tab. From there, you'll be able to send out troops and participate in the trivia challenge as it rotates in.

The supervisory authority itself has requirements. It becomes available when your vault reaches at least 18 inhabitants. After meeting this requirement, you can craft it for 1,000 Caps, and it takes up a two-tile space in your Vault layout. There can only be one overseer's office in each vault at a time.
