Virtual Trivia Transformation for Trivia for Us

When COVID-19 hit, Trivia for Us faced the same gut punch as so many small businesses:

Restaurants, bars, and community centers shut down overnight

Revenue disappeared

Loyal players suddenly had nowhere to gather

The big question was clear: How can a trivia business survive, and even thrive, when the world goes virtual?

Trivia for Us needed to:

Transition their in-person events into an engaging virtual trivia platform for small businesses

Keep players connected and excited, even from home

Explore new ways to monetize through online events and corporate gigs

As Shakira, one of the founders, put it:

I steered Trivia for Us toward Ecamm Live, a Mac-based streaming program that checked every box:

Live video with real-time captions

Screen sharing for trivia slides

Interactive chat for participant answers

Multi-platform simulcasting to YouTube, Facebook, and Zoom

Why Ecamm Live worked perfectly for a trivia business:

User-friendly UI → No steep learning curve

Branding flexibility → Built-in overlays for logos, graphics, and lower thirds

Scalability → Ran smoothly from 20-person trivia nights to 200-person corporate tournaments

✅ Seamless interaction between host and players

✅ Professional broadcast look and feel

✅ Ability to scale from local games to national corporate events

The move online brought immediate wins:

Higher engagement → Participants loved the interactive live video format

Expanded reach → No longer limited to a single city

New revenue streams → Corporate clients booked virtual trivia for team-building

As Shakira said:

This project showed that with the right guidance, a trivia business pandemic transition doesn’t just mean survival—it can mean growth.
