Product Info

Q.   What type of content is in the programming?

   A.    Waiting Room Entertainment has pre-selected trivia from our Pop Culture and Health and Fitness categories from our vast pool of topics and hundreds of hours of questions. However other topic categories may be selected for all customized products.

Q.   How is the game played by my patrons?

   A.    Waiting Room Entertainment is very simple to play along (quite intentionally)... Questions are presented with 4 multiple choice answers. The wrong answers begin to disappear until only the correct answer remains. Each question is delivered and answered in total in about 35 seconds.

Q.   What else do I need to run Waiting Room Entertainment on my TV's?

   A.    Waiting Room Entertainment is DVD formatted, so you don't need anything other than a standard DVD player and TV. There is no special hardware to buy or maintain. Your DVD player will play continuous trivia over your in-house TV system, creating your own in-house trivia channel. We make hours of trivia available, so no one will get bored seeing the same old thing.

Q.   Is there any sound on Waiting Room Entertainment?

   A.    Waiting Room Entertainment is produced without sound because the multiple choice format of the questions, with its staggered omissions leading to the correct answer, requires no sound. Sound would be inappropriate and distracting in a professional waiting room setting. However sound is available for ad messages.

Branding/Custom Versions

Q.   Do you offer a branded version?

   A.    Waiting Room Entertainment can produce a branded version of our trivia entertainment for you. We can produce a program to include an ad with your logo and branded product or service. The ad, which can be supplied by you (see production requirements below) or created by our staff, will run at preselected intervals throughout the program.

Q.   What type Of Ads can I put on the WRE DVD?

   A.    . Every 10 minutes, between each round of trivia we can insert your ad. The drop-in message may consist of graphic image or digital video. Graphic Images are limited to up to 4 different drop-in screens which will repeat throughout the program. Your static screen will show between the rounds for 20 seconds before the next trivia round begins. Images must be 720 x 480 pixels in jpeg format and can be on disk or e-mailed to WRE Production Department. On a static image the outer 10% of the image may be cut off by some TVs so make sure that no critical information falls in this outer area of the 720 x 480 image. Client submitted artwork must be production ready. Video Ads must be in MPEG II file format (this must provided as a file and not a finished/mastered DVD production) and the actual file size may effect the amount of actual time the final DVD will contain. Our standard production of trivia is 49 rounds of trivia on a DVD-9 which leaves approximately 4 GIG of space available for your own digital files to be placed on to the DVD. Please note the size of your MPEG II files will effect the total amount of running time that fits on the DVD. We recommend short video drop in messages to keep the interest of the viewers.
