The German broadcaster “DAS VIERTE“ has launched a unique interactive film quiz called “scene it? Das Filmquiz“, supported by conVISUAL. Another game show will be broadcast by “DAS VIERTE“ on the coming Saturday at 3:20 pm.

“scene it? Das Filmquiz“ is realized by conVISUAL on behalf of “DAS VIERTE“ of NBC Universal, Germany. conVISUAL, as full service provider, is responsible for the technical realization of the interactive game.

Within half an hour, “scene it? Das Filmquiz“ gives TV viewers the chance to prove their knowledge about everything concerning Hollywood. The viewers can compete with other participants, live, through their mobile phones and will receive immediate feedback to tell them if their answer was correct, and how many points they scored. Stefan Ritsche, Executive Producer NBC Universal, said: “scene it? Das Filmquiz is the first worldwide launch of such a format.”

Four film clips in four rounds are shown in each quiz show. Afterwards, a multiple choice question is displayed for each picture or video. Participating viewers send their answer per SMS. DAS VIERTE assigns a nickname to each participant, under which the participant’s points are collected.

The participants, who scored the most points in a round, have the chance to win a certain amount of money at the end of a show. In addition to that, all right answers will take part in a draw for a mobile phone every Saturday.
