I am Silvije, and quizzes have always been my passion.
Trivia and general knowledge have always intrigued me. I grew up watching TV quizzes, just to see how well I would perform. Finally, I got my chance when I turned 19, by participating in Croatian version of “Who Wants Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” where I ended up winning 250.000 HRK. Needless to say, that was a huge success for a teenager.
After that, I was known as the “quiz guy” who had a successful TV quiz appearance. Later on I started to write questions for “Potjera”, the Croatian version of the British quiz show “The Chase”. This is where I learned how to create interesting questions and make them appealing to average viewers. After more than fifteen thousand questions I can safely say that I mastered the craft .
Along with quizzes, I have worked for an advertising agency where I was responsible for various campaigns and clients. During the agency years, I developed communication and presentation skills which inspired me for a brand new business idea – to create quizzes as a form of team building. The concept was new on the market but I knew I can make it work. I believed in the idea, especially if I put my mind and heart into it.
And, sure enough, with a bit of word of mouth and PR, I started getting gigs. Clients were satisfied with a new form of entertainment and I was happy for doing what I love and know, so it’s a win-win : )
I am pleased that I was able to turn quizzes into occupation, and passion into a business.
