Quizmania
Medium: Web
Client: Fremantle
Over the past few months we've been working with Fremantle on a show called Quizmania. Quizmania was originally a success in 2005, when a lovable bunch of presenters, production crew and stuffed animals became familiar friends to quizzers and insomniacs across the UK (just type Quizmania into Youtube and you'll see what we mean). Such was its success that local versions were produced in Australia, Poland, Columbia, France and Portugal. And now it's back but this time online which means you can now play interactive quizzes, chat straight to the studio, discuss the quiz with the audience and play with and against friends.
