Entertainment Experience is a film project in which two films are created: one user-generated film and one professional film. In the Netherlands the professionals version was made by Dutch director Paul Verhoeven. On 19 July 2014 the China edition of the project was launched (the local name is: 全民电影EEC). In China director John Woo and actress Zhang Ziyi will be the inspirational figures.

The script consists of eight parts. Part one was written by Kim van Kooten. The "crowd" (participators of the competition) subsequently wrote the scripts for the seven following parts. Both Verhoeven and the participating film crews made their film based on those scripts. The process of making the film was shown in a TV show on Dutch channel Veronica. The project was launched on 21 September 2011 and finished at the end of 2012.

Paul Verhoeven announced the name of the movie on 7 May 2012 on the television show De Wereld Draait Door. The international title of the movie is Tricked. (The title in Dutch was Steekspel. It was submitted by participant Trudi van der Stelt 'Trudiola'.)

On 24 September 2012, the movie premiered in Theater Tuschinski in Amsterdam. The version by Verhoeven as well as the version made by the public were shown.

On 28 March 2013, Tricked had its premiere for the public in EYE.

In March 2013, Lotgenoten (Counterparts), the version of the winning team IO Filmproducties helmed by Stephan Brenninkmeijer, was picked up by Benelux Film Distributors for nationwide release.

Progress of the project

The public film was composed out of 8 separate parts. The course of the story was determined by the audience. From the beginning of the project several production teams were formed. They filmed their version of the script. The community exclusively received parts of the final script, put together by script writer Robert Alberdingk Thijm and Paul Verhoeven, in order to film them.
