Millions of people in China are taking part in live-streaming(直播) quiz shows after they download apps like Chongdingdahui, Huajiao Zhibo and Xigua Shipin. Different from TV quiz shows, anybody with a smartphone can take part in the shows every day, interacting(互动) with other players at the same time.
The shows have hosts to present the questions and make the show more lively by telling jokes or giving some background for the questions. Players can win prizes as small as 1 yuan and as high as more than 40,000 yuan, depending on the total amount(数量) of prize money and the number of winners.
To draw new users, the apps offer "redo cards(复活卡)" to new players, as well as to those who have invited new players to join. These cards allow players who give wrong answers an extra chance to compete on the show.
Players are enjoying turning their knowledge into a chance to win cash prizes. They have also found that they are learning a lot during the process. "I found them really attractive, as I can learn and play at the same time," said Cao Lei, a 25-year-old user player from Beijing." These are all free apps and I stand to win some money. Why not try them out?" It's not just the questions—and the joy of winning—that have drawn users. The players may have a proud feeling to continue the game when watching hundreds of thousands of others have to get out of the competition.
