Thanks for the replies, Merkin and others. You're right; it's better to just go and see for myself, though that is a bit difficult right now so I appreciate the info.
BuzztimeNation, I've seen a thread or two involving you. I'm a bit late here, but welcome to the forum. As for the $1000 games, it's cool to see you guys trying things out. I'm not a good enough player to realistically be in the running for those prizes and so I'll sit it out, but I appreciate you guys giving people a reward for being good enough to ace or nearly ace a game of Countdown. Obviously there are in-game rewards like a medal or improved average, but so many of your locations are bad about rewarding the players, even with a $20 certificate for more food on their next visit. Three years ago I was playing Wednesday night trivia in a BWW and the manager there saw me and recruited me to go to the other side of the restaurant and play the live trivia they hired a 3rd party to develop and put on for patrons. I played it for several weeks, and won certificates for food most evenings they had it. I eventually quit because the experience was worse than the experience of playing the Wednesday night premium games. They should have just cultivated a trivia scene around the Buzztime system they were already paying for. No idea why they didn't bother with that. And it wasn't my first time seeing live trivia in a BWW while the premium games were playing overhead. Anyway my point is it's nice to see players rewarded in this way when the places at which they play are often hesitant to do so.
I do have a question for you if that's all right. How open is Buzztime to a new type of use for its system?
