Britpop Drummer Saves Pub Quiz

Britpop Drummer Saves Pub Quiz

YORK, England, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Alan Leach from Britpop band Shed Seven, along with his tech-head brother John Leach,
has designed a much-needed update to the old pen and paper style pub quiz. Utilising
mobile technology, this pioneering application takes full advantage of the one item people
take everywhere, the mobile phone.

    Lightyears away from a pen and paper trivia night!

    The SpeedQuizzing night is all about fast pace and swift reaction times, creating an
electrically charged, buzzing atmosphere with TV quiz show intensity.

    At the beginning of a quiz, one member of each team downloads the free SpeedQuizzing
app onto their smartphone leaving it on the table to be accessed by all team members. The
smartphone is connected over WiFi to the quiz host's computer, running the SpeedQuizzing
software.

    The SpeedQuizzing app eradicates the ability to cheat, rejuvenating the original
format and taking quiz fun to a whole new social level.

    With up to 32 iPhones, iPods, iPads or Android devices connected to the system at one
time, the fun begins. Players are given a time limit in which to input their answer into
their touch screen device, which instantly beams their time-critical answers to the host
for instant success or humiliation.

    Speed bonus!

    Another level in the Smartphone Pub Quiz is the speed bonus. The first team to answer
a question will have their chosen sound clip played over the PA, which can lead to added
hilarity (QI has nothing on this!)

    Pictures beamed to screens

    The latest innovation is onscreen picture questions. In SpeedQuizzing, random pictures
are beamed by the quiz host to all of the connected handsets appearing at exactly the same
time for players to respond to real-time. The old style printed picture sheet just doesn't
cut the mustard anymore!

    Fingers on buzzers

    Quizmasters can download this app now and host the quiz this weekend, fulfilling any
TV game show ambitions with edge of your seat buzzer games and thousands of questions.

    With an assortment of rounds, players respond to questions by tapping their smartphone
screen as fast as they can. The fastest team give their answer whilst the rest are locked
out!

    Other great features:

       
        - Studio quality sounds effects and buzzer noises provided by the software
          adds to gameplay, creating a TV quiz show atmosphere.
        - Any quiz host can easily create their own sound clips rounds using their own
          mp3 files.
        - The SpeedQuizzing system manages all aspects of hosting a quiz night including
          displaying the questions, storing team names and keeping score. It can even log where
          each team are located within the room!

          a pay as you go service with no sign up fee or deposit required.
