Case Study: CrowdfunderUK raises £33,000 and breaks a Guinness World Record with Telescope

During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, CrowdfunderUK turned to Telescope to power an interactive, remote pub trivia experience (and set a Guinness World Record along the way)

CrowdfunderUK turned to Telescope during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to create an interactive remote pub trivia event that could raise money for the National Emergencies Trust and support an attempt to set a Guinness World Record. Telescope provided a virtual event experience using its Triple Play and Virtual Event Hub products, combining live streaming with play-along trivia for viewers at home.

Telescope built a ticketed virtual hub with code- and URL-based access control so only donors could enter the event, watch the livestream, and participate in the trivia below it. The experience helped CrowdfunderUK raise over £33,000 for the National Emergencies Trust and drew 6,248 users, successfully setting the Guinness World Record for the most visitors to a virtual pub.
