The gaming vertical of British-Indian businessman Raj Kundra’s Viaan Industries has recently launched a brand new gaming app for Android and iOS users. Named ‘Housie Quiz’, it is an online housie and quiz game app, and involves real money.
Viaan Games’s Housie Quiz app allows the players to purchase up to two tickets of Rs 25 each. The players can then opt to play through various randomly generated games held throughout the day, or play through the live feed format at 8 pm every day.
However, the House Quiz game comes with a unique twist. After every number, the players are asked a quiz question. If a player gets the answer to the question right, they get the number too, if it’s there in the player’s tickets. If the answer is incorrect, the player’s ticket number turns red, meaning that the player can still play for lines and corners but not for the full house.
Talking about what drove him to explore the online gaming segment, Raj Kundra said, “In the last five to six years, India has seen a substantial amount of growth in the real money gaming (RMG) industry. Online gaming has a massive market opportunity that extends beyond interactive entertainment. I have always thrived on online gaming and under it, board games have been one of my absolute favourites.”
Kundra added, “That’s when I thought of creating a game where everyone could play together as a family and which, at the same time, was nostalgic and enjoyable. Housie, also known as Tambola, is a game of skill and quite popular in Indian households. Adding the quiz element to it is aimed at making the game more relatable and fun for all. With Housie Quiz, I am proud to announce India’s first real money game of skill.”
Raj Kundra’s Viaan Games claims that the winners can win instant cash prizes amounting up to Rs 9,999. The prize money is transferred directly to players’ Paytm account after winning the game.
Apart from launching Housie Quiz app, Viaan Games has also announced its partnership with a national broadcaster to air the Snowball Sunday games live on national television. Starting April 20, the cash prizes for Snowball Sunday games will go in lakhs of rupees, sources state.
