Local content is more valuable than ever, but it can be hard to make it entertaining and relevant. Games like Battle of the Burbs and Know Your City are excellent ideas, but it can be hard to keep them entertaining over a period of time. Other trivia games like $1,000 Minute may not be exclusively local, but a local touch makes it more endearing. That’s why smart broadcasters create local trivia questions that resonate. Want to make your trivia game stand out in a way no national show or streaming service can touch? Go local.
