How do you get to be on a quiz show?
Did you know that some of the regular teams at BrisQuiz trivia nights in Brisbane have competed in game shows? It’s true – chat to some of the unassuming faces around you at your weekly local pub quiz, and listen to the stories! We know a number of our players have experienced the thrill of sitting in the ominous black Mastermind chair or jumping on the buzzer in Sale of the Century.
These days, TV game shows are on the decline, and it’s not always easy to work out how to apply, audition and ultimately be selected for the few that still exist… For those of us living in Brisbane, far from the Melbourne recording studios (and perhaps not quite confident enough to go up against the Chasers!) it all seems too hard and sits on the “one day I’d love to…” list of dreams.
But with the power of the internet, that’s all changing!
Time Chasers: The online quiz show for the masses
Enter Time Chasers – the brainchild of ‘Blondieboiii Steve’ from Perth and his Queensland-based business partner and co-host ‘Strawberry Jams’. They’re bringing accessible, quiz show entertainment and cash prizes to the masses with this new web-based gameshow.
BrisQuiz’s own Caleb Greyman spotted their ad online several months ago and quickly applied to be on the show. A little later he recorded his first episode as part of the “intro” series of Time Chasers. This first series showcases some of the minigames that will ultimately form part of the full show once the project is up and running. Caleb wanted to tell everyone who would listen about his great experience, but he had to promise not to reveal any results or spoilers from the episode…
…until today! Caleb’s episode is now live on YouTube, so BrisQuiz fans just like YOU can finally see what things are like when the tables are turned and your cocky host becomes the victim player. Can he really hold his own when he’s not hiding behind the microphone and holding the answer sheet? Find out below. (although you might get a sense of how it turns out based on the video’s title!)
Want to try your luck at Australia’s newest quiz show?
Applications to become a Time Chasers contestant are open to anyone – Head to https://timechasers.tv for more information. It’s true – you can win real cash at the same time as having a whole lot of fun.
Also consider following the show on YouTube, Twitch and other social media platforms for the latest news, games and opportunities. Time Chasers could take off as a quizzing phenomenon – but only if people like you show your support! Spread the word, and look out for a visit from Steve and James at BrisQuiz events early next year! (There might even be a collaboration with a live recording of Time Chasers quiz show.)
