You sent in feedback and we listened! Virtual events such as live virtual trivia, zoom trivia, and streaming trivia are more popular now than ever. Our users have been requesting virtual event features and we are happy to announce several new key features! Most of which are 100% free and available on every plan!
Email and Phone Lead Capture For Everyone
We've had overwhelming feedback that all plans should have the ability to collect participants' emails and phone numbers, rather than just a nickname. In these times, many businesses are pivoting to virtual events to market to their audiences online. Therefore, it's essential to have the ability to acquire participant contact information. The ability to request an email and/or phone number is a necessity.
Because of this, as a new virtual event trivia feature, we're adding both Email and Phone Number lead capture fields to all plans! You'll be able to add both the email and phone number lead capture field to any experience. Classroom Plan or better subscribers can export that data. Free Basic Plan members will still be able to view their lead capture data.

New Customizable Lead Capture Fields
Don't worry existing Seminar Plan members! You now have all-new completely customizable lead capture fields that allow you to collect any type of data you wish.
- Want your participants Hair Color? Done.
- Want to ask where they ate for lunch? You got it.
- Want Instagram or Twitter handles? Easy!
- Want employee ID numbers? Simple.
- Want to know how many times they get up to go pee in the middle of the night? Okay that's a little weird.
Custom fields now have customizable labels, data types, placeholders, and optional required settings. You can now capture any data point you wish from your participants and export to Excel!

Weekly Trivia Game Library
Our Trivia Database is getting an overhaul... finally! No more duplicate questions! We'll be releasing new 100%-original trivia games every week. Trivia games will be preloaded with fun GIFs and images each in all the classic categories and current/trending topics like the #Election2020, #Mandalorian, and #KUWTK. All available for FREE on all plans.
You'll be able to quickly and easily add new trivia games for your events each week. And also swap out questions you don't like and combine multiple pre-written trivia games!
Additionally, you'll be able to write and submit your own Trivia Games to our database for use by other users and track their usage and popularity! And we'll still have our staff writers adding new content as well each week.
P.S. We're hiring trivia writers. Do you eat, breath, and sleep trivia? Always wanted to let your trivia-flag fly? Join our team with an awesome part-time work-from-home gig! Send us an email at hello@crowdpurr.com

VIP Guest List
Many of our customers doing Zoom trivia have sent us feedback that they would like to use an event format that requires purchase or registration through a gateway or "paywall". Examples of this are selling tickets on EventBrite, signing up on a registration website, joining a Facebook group, etc.
Crowdpurr URLs for trivia games are public. This means that once participants pay or register, they can easily share the URL allowing other participants to join the streaming trivia that haven't paid or signed up.
Not any more! A new virtual event feature we've added called VIP Guest List allows you to upload a CSV list of email addresses or phone numbers on the Experience Dashboard. Your Trivia Game will then restrict entry to only participants who's email or phone number is on your VIP list! This will prevent users who haven't paid or registered from entering the Trivia Game.
