Your Frankfort game host
A familiar face
at Frankfort events.
Scott Keeling has spent 35 years hosting live entertainment and building games by hand. Frankfort is an easy drive east on I-64 from his Louisville-area base, and he has returned for several years to an annual Frankfort community event held with the Frankfort Police Department.
Scott's start in Las Vegas entertainment taught him how to keep a crowd engaged, and he brings that same energy to community days, parties and workplace events across Franklin County.
Because he builds many of his games himself, Scott knows how each one plays and how much room it needs. That makes planning easier for a Frankfort park, a school gymnasium or a church fellowship hall.

Bringing the games to Frankfort
Frankfort is Kentucky's capital city and the Franklin County seat, with the Kentucky River winding through downtown and the State Capitol just across the river. It sits about 55 miles east of Louisville by way of I-64.

Planning around Frankfort
Community events and festivals near downtown and the riverfront often have busy walkways and tight spaces, so compact carnival stations and a few eye-catching giant games work best. Scott plans the layout around your space so families can join in without crowding the area.
For workplace picnics, school field days and church events across Franklin County, there is usually room for a fuller midway. The same collection that serves Louisville heads east on I-64 with giant games, sports challenges and interactive attractions.
Eight ways to play. Choose a collection, then tap any photo for game details, extra photos and videos. Combine giant games with carnival classics for a backyard party, or plan a full midway for a Frankfort community day or school field day.

Your Frankfort
questions, answered.
Answers for Frankfort and Franklin County organizers planning giant games, carnival games and interactive entertainment for community days, schools, churches and workplace events.
Ask Scott a QuestionDoes The Game Guy travel to Frankfort and Franklin County?
Yes. Scott brings games to Frankfort and communities across Franklin County, about 55 miles east of Louisville on I-64. He has returned for several years to an annual Frankfort community event held with the Frankfort Police Department.
Include your venue address and event date when you reach out so Scott can confirm availability and travel details.
How much does it cost to rent games for a Frankfort party or event?
Pricing depends on which games you choose, how many you need, how long your event runs and where it takes place. A backyard birthday with a few lawn games will be priced differently from a community day with a full carnival midway.
For an accurate quote, share your date, venue, guest count and the games you like. You can browse the full game collection first to make a shortlist.
Can you provide games for a community day or public event?
Yes. Community days and public events usually draw families of all ages, so a mix of quick carnival games and a few giant games keeps lines short and gives everyone something to try.
Check with the organizer or venue about space, power, permits and setup times, then share those details with Scott so he can plan the layout.
Do you provide games for workplace and office picnics?
Yes. Team challenges, hosted game shows and giant games work well for staff picnics, employee appreciation days and team-building events, indoors or out.
Tell Scott how many people are attending, how long the event runs and whether you will be on a lawn, in a meeting room or at a park shelter.
What games work best for a school field day in Franklin County?
Relay-friendly games, quick carnival stations and giant games like Connect 4 and Giant Jenga keep students moving between activities without long waits.
Let Scott know how many students are attending, how much time each group has and whether you will be on a field, blacktop or gym floor. See more school and community event ideas.
How far ahead should I book for a Frankfort event?
Reach out as soon as you know your date and venue, especially since Frankfort is a longer trip from Louisville. Summer weekends and the fall festival season are the busiest times, and specific games can be reserved for other events on the same day.
If your event is coming up soon, contact Scott anyway. He can tell you which games are still available for your date.
How do I book, and how does payment work?
Bookings are made directly with Scott by phone. Call (270) 696-4386 or use the event form on this page, and Scott will follow up to go over the details.
Scott takes payment directly by cash, debit card or check. Rental terms are covered in a written rental agreement that you review before your event.
Do rentals include delivery, setup and someone to run the games?
Delivery, setup, pickup and on-site help are discussed when you request your quote. What is included can depend on the games you choose, your venue and whether any activities need someone to run them.
Let Scott know your event schedule and whether you would like help managing the games during the event, and he can explain the options for your booking.
Can Scott build a custom game for a Frankfort business or organization?
Yes. Scott Keeling designs and builds custom games around company logos, school colors, mascots and event themes, which works well for expo booths, awareness events, business promotions and spirit nights.
Share your idea, audience and event date to get started, or visit the custom games page to learn more.
