Fleming Grad Supports Local With Online Game Show Business
/The opportunity to be a game show contestant for prizes from local businesses can be a reality through Ryan Smith’s Quiz Show Trivia.
The business is an entertainment and services firm through game show-formats provided to be either informative or leisurely.
It offers clients to participate in game shows to win prizes, a training video alternative and a sponsorship opportunity for local owners.
Games are customizable to suit all skill levels, topics, event settings and having a professional host or self-hosted online or in person. Those options are filled through the website on a trivia preferences survey.
Prizes are through five different categories such as music, technology, food, exclusive deals and gift cards.
Event settings allow clients to have the option of adding entertainment value to their show with local performers or celebrity guests such as mindreaders or magicians.
“We want local and independent artists to be supported with this show,” said Smith. “In addition to the sponsorship, we work with local artists. They provide the art and music to the game show.”

Smith, a Fleming graduate created the business last year in March. The inspiration came from several Zoom calls with friends from being stale.
“We had played a version of Jeopardy just using some proprietary software,” remarked Smith. “Whenever everyone’s catching up on their third and fourth Zoom call, they’re not much to talk about.”

Several clients from Peterborough have played games through Smith’s business and want to target the city’s local business for sponsorship opportunities as soon as possible.
“My ethos is all about supporting local, independent business and art,“ says Smith. “I’d love to get it done in my college town.”
