Entertainment Experience was a Dutch TV-program and competition following the creation of a user-generated film-project in which two films were created: one film made by professionals named Tricked (Steekspel), directed by Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, and one "user-generated film" made by contesting teams of participants. The process of making the films was shown on Veronica.

Production
editThe project was launched on September 21, 2011, and finished at the end of 2012.
The film script consisted of eight parts. Part one was written by Kim van Kooten. "The crowd" (participators of the competition) wrote the scripts for the seven following parts. Each of the participating film crews made a single short film, corresponding to their part of the film, while Verhoeven filmed all the scripts for his version.[1]
Paul Verhoeven[citation needed] announced the name of his movie on 7 May 2012 on the television show De Wereld Draait Door. The international title of the movie is Tricked; the Dutch title is Steekspel. It was suggested by the participant Trudi van der Stelt, AKA 'Trudiola'.
On 24 September 2012, the movie premiered in the Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam. Both the version by Verhoeven and the version of the participating teams were shown. On 28 March 2013, Tricked had its public release in EYE.
In March 2013, Lotgenoten (Counterparts), the user-generated version of the winning participants IO Filmproducties, was picked up by Benelux Film Distributors for nationwide theatrical release and on dvd and video on demand.
In 2014, the China edition of the project was launched (the local name is: 全民电影EEC). Director John Woo and actress Zhang Ziyi were attached.
In 2019, the concept was launched in the Middle East, in close collaboration with Shams Media City. The project was spearheaded by Nahla Al Fahad.
