If you spend much time at restaurants or bars, particularly sports bars, you’ve probably seen the Buzztime trivia games playing on TVs around the room. If you ask, your waitress will bring you out a little “Playmaker” device that interfaces with the Buzztime servers so you can enter your name, login, and play along with other people — in the restaurant with you, or even people at other Buzztime locations in other states. You can engage in trivia games, puzzles, and even card games right from your seat in the restaurant. And now, you don’t even need the Playmaker device, because you can have a mobile app on your Android phone that accomplishes exactly the same purpose.
The Mobile Playmaker app brings several advantages over the traditional Playmaker device. For starters, you’ve probably already got your phone with you — no more waiting on the waitress to bring you one. And while I’ve never encountered the problem myself, hypothetically, the restaurant you’re out could have already passed out all their Playmaker devices. But one of the biggest perks, in my book, is that if you’ve used a Playmaker, you know they’re…bulky. The interface is clunky. In a world of flashy phones and touchscreens, the Playmaker is just not a fun device to use. I won’t lie — I’ve been wanting this app for quite some time.
Buzztime is quite happy to be offering the app to Android users. Michael J. Bush, Buzztime’s President and CEO, offers the following:
“Buzztime continuously looks to bring innovation to our players and partners with new technology and exciting games…The company’s Android phone application further deepens our ability to attract the ever growing smart phone market and invite them into the Buzztime game universe. We continue to provide our players with improved experiences and our bar and restaurant clients with added value.”
