After a successful test period, MAG launches QuizDuel
Live, a game mode with live trivia shows in New QuizDuel. The
game mode is now available to all players in Germany
STOCKHOLM, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MAG Interactive
today announces the launch of the new game mode QuizDuel
Live in New QuizDuel to the German market. The game mode
consists of live quizzes with a host and is designed together with
the leader of live mobile game shows in Scandinavia, Primetime,
which was acquired by MAG in the fall of 2020.
The game mode has been tested on a limited scale since December
and is now made available to all players in New QuizDuel's largest
market, Germany. The Swiss and
Austrian markets will also gain access to the game mode in the near
future.
QuizDuel Live broadcasts several days a week and
participation is free of charge. The shows are led, in classic TV
trivia style, by a host and the players compete by answering up to
12 questions. Players can also interact with the show through
real-time chat. In the event of a wrong answer, the player is
knocked out and can then choose to continue watching the broadcast
or to use a so-called lifeline - an aid that can be used up to
question 7 to continue playing.
Players who answer all questions correctly share the prize pool
equally. Prizes vary - at present players can, among other things,
win lifelines or tickets to the Arena game mode. Other kinds
of prizes will be added in the near future. As QuizDuel Live
is monetized through sponsorship campaigns, it will also be
possible to compete for other exclusive prizes in the live
show.
"We are very excited to launch QuizDuel Live and thus
offer the German audience a new type of interactive entertainment
in New QuizDuel. Over the years, the German version of QuizDuel has
been downloaded by more than 40 million players and the integration
of live broadcasts in New QuizDuel was one of the strongest
potential synergies we saw with the acquisition of Primetime. At
record speed, we have now managed to build Primetime's user
experience in a natural way into the core of one of Germany's largest mobile games with millions
of active players. I am very happy to see how well the
collaboration between the teams has worked from the beginning.
We are seeing how people increasingly appreciate engaging and
interactive entertainment on their phones. QuizDuel
Live means that we have taken another step towards creating the
world's best trivia experience for mobile, and we are now starting
a new, exciting chapter for New QuizDuel", says Daniel Hasselberg, CEO of MAG Interactive.
