Watch 2 Win
At the start of a TV program, people are invited to take part in a contest based on the program they are about to watch.
At key moments during the show, they get a text message asking them about something that's just happened. If they text and answer correctly, they'll progress. If they are unable to answer, they can text for a clue. The further they progress, the better prizes they win.
- People have to watch the program to answer the questions
- The more questions they answer, the more prizes they win
- If they get stuck they can request clues or further help
- Provides real time interaction with a viewing audience
