Presented by Burns, Quiz the Nation is shown through Sky Channel 254 and allows players to play by themselves or in a team in the same pub to compete for a top prize of £1,000 and lots of other weekly cash prizes.
Free to pubs, the game requires customers to download an app which records the speed of their response and pay a fee of £2 to play.
The operators say trials conducted in select pubs over a four-week period showed an increase in footfall of around 50 players per pub, with revenue up by an average of £500 per pub.
Quiz the Nation is currently looking to raise £195,000 which is the equivalent of 20% of equity through Crowd Cube.
Burns said: “I am thrilled to be part of Quiz the Nation. I truly believe these are exciting times for pub quizgoers. Rest assured, we are not out to replace the traditional pub quiz, far from it. In fact, we have been careful to retain much of what people love about pub quizzes but simply evolved the concept into a new format - think Krypton Factor meets Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The prizes are fantastic, the show is exciting and it is free for pub operators. In addition, the pilots have proved that Quiz the Nation will increase footfall, revenue and profits for operators, so everyone’s a winner.”
