Buzztime - Business Bar Trivia by Buzztime

In May, we gave players what they wanted: the Buzztime Entertainment app that lets them compete in trivia games using their smartphone! A lot of exciting things have happened in less than 2 months since the app went live in beta mode…here’s what you need to know:

1) Players Love the App! 84% Would Recommend the App to Friends

We launched a survey to take the pulse on player reactions to the new app. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with over 4 in 5 players stating they’d recommend the app to friends.

The app was launched in beta mode, with the goal of incorporating player feedback into ongoing app updates. Players also appreciated this approach and 80% of them plan to play even more as the app is updated. Speaking of updates…

2) The First App Updates Integrate Player Feedback

When the app went live, we ensured that the most popular Buzztime games – like Countdown and Lunchtime Trivia – were accessible to players. Within a few weeks, we performed an “over-the-air update.” That meant that players didn’t need to download an app update, yet our game development team made almost all of the 15- and 30-minute trivia games playable on the app.

In mid-July, we further enhanced the player experience by adding full questions and answers to the app platform. This required players to download an update to the app which unlocked this added functionality. It’s just one more way we’re enhancing the overall players experience!

Stay tuned as we further evolve and improve the Buzztime Entertainment app based on feedback from loyal players.

3) The App is Bringing More Players Into the Game…and Into Businesses Like Yours

According to a recent 2019 Nielsen study, 7 out of 10 people said they were more likely to choose a bar or restaurant that offered Buzztime. People are downloading the app, and then using the location finder to seek out businesses like yours that carry their favorite games and trivia. It’s no wonder that many venues are seeing a lift in new customer traffic.   

4) Maximize the App’s Benefits for Your Biz
