Rick
Harrison knows trivia. Recognizable as a co-founder of the Gold & Silver
Pawn Shop and star of HISTORY’s “Pawn Stars” and “Pawnography,” Harrison also
knows business, leading him to establish a new venture in the development of
“Rick Harrison’s Trivia Challenge.”
Harrison
and long-time business partner Jim Scott created Old Man Interactive,
headquartered in Las Vegas, to develop and publish games for social and mobile
platforms. Both risk takers, serial entrepreneurs and deal-made-on-a-hand-shake
type of guys – Harrison and Scott began with the name of the company as a tip
of the hat to Rick's dad, Richard Sr.
“We
both love the name because Rick's dad is smart, patient, generous and tough as
nails,” said Scott. “The name is ironic, too, considering this is a tech company
and my dad barely operates a computer,” laughed Harrison. Both agree that the
timing and development of “Rick Harrison’s Trivia Challenge,” the debut game
for the company, was the perfect combination to launch this business
partnership.
In
“Rick Harrison’s Trivia Challenge,” a speed trivia game, players will encounter
thousands of questions in upwards of 15 categories ranging from scholarly to
pop culture, including many brain-bending questions personally included by
Harrison.
Players
begin at the front entrance of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, greeted by
Harrison who will serve as their mentor throughout the game. Players are
challenged to answer 10 trivia questions within a set time period. Level to
level throughout the game, players will encounter the likes of the Old Man,
Corey and Chumlee, offering advice and opportunities for level advancement.
Like
many app-based games, “Rick Harrison’s Trivia Challenge” is free to download
and play. What makes “Rick Harrison’s Trivia Challenge” exceptionally
different: players can also earn “gold coins” as reward for completing various
levels of the game. These virtual coins can be collected then exchanged for
swag such as T-shirts, hats and other items and one-of-a-kind experiences from
the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.
“Now
everyone can exercise his or her brain the way I do. I love the challenge of
speed trivia,” said Harrison. “You need not be technologically brilliant to
operate the game. Be ready to answer quickly to advance levels. We developed
what is a fun, interactive game for novice or expert trivia lovers. I bet
everyone who plays will still learn a thing or two.”
“Rick
Harrison's Trivia Challenge” is available now on Facebook, the Apple App Store
and Google Play Store for free. For more information, visit
