The challenge

In March 2020, Gervan Kelly was looking for a super affordable way to keep his isolated community together and engaged during COVID-19 lockdown. After that, the challenge became how to engage remote colleagues and improve collaboration at work.

The result

Gervan started by holding weekly quizzes on AhaSlides, helping his community get over the worst of lockdown. This act of kindness eventually blossomed into a full business, The QuizMasta, with which Gervan runs team building trivia experiences on AhaSlides up to 8 times a week.

"My players love AhaSlides, too. I'm getting feedback from when I host - they think it's incredible!"

The challenges

Gervan found that both his local communities, and his remote colleagues, were meeting the same problem due to the pandemic.

  • During COVID, his communities had no sense of togetherness. Everyone was isolated, so meaningful interactions just weren't happening.
  • Remote workers in his firm and others were also lacking connection. Working from home made teamwork less fluid and morale lower.
  • Starting off as a charitable endeavour, he had no funding and needed the most affordable solution possible.

The results

Gervan took to quizzes like a duck to water.

What started out as a charitable endeavour very quickly led him to hosting up to 8 quizzes a week, some for large companies who found out about him purely through word-of-mouth.

And his audience has been growing since.

Staff at Gervan’s law firm like his quizzes so much that they request individual team quizzes for each holiday.

“Every week we’re having epic finales,” Gervan says, “the difference between 1st and 2nd is often only 1 or 2 points, which is incredible for engagement! My players absolutely love it”.
