A new computer game called Belize Trivia Challenge tests your general knowledge of Belize.

But apart from testing your knowledge, it also gives you a chance to win some money. The mastermind behind the project is Tiffany Simpson - who has built the game from scratch. She stopped by our studios today to tell us more about it.

Tiffany Simpson, Creator, Bze Trivia Challenge
"The game - is a computer online game. It test the player knowledge of Belize, every time a player plays the game it post 10 questions from the database. a player has approximately 25 seconds to answer each question and each question is worth a possible 1000 points but for every second that pass and the player does not answer, he or she will lose 25 points from their actual score. There is also a hint button, but if they use that button to give them clues for what the answer should be, they lose 300 pints from their score."

"The last couple of series are a generalize questions right , they aren't group into any particular category, however we intend to group them into history categories, geography and stuff like that so that there is a system where we publish the games. The same Belize trivia Challenge is also online at our website belizeanartwork.com individuals can sign up for an account and once they have done that they can compete with their friends and other members of the site for the highest score. We have a weekly competition that runs from Monday 8am to Saturday 10pm and within that time frame the player with the highest score advance to the game show which first will be held May 27th of this year."

"I finish this game from June of last year but one of the setback sin terms of getting the game out was distribution. There is a process involve. Not many places want to take the games on consignment and those who don't want to take it on consignment prefers to purchase it but they are not sure how it would do so I was caught in that cycle there and so I just went ahead and publish the game online. The best way to get the games is to contact me personally at my cell 670-1088 you can also get in online at our online store simple go to belizeanartwork.com and under shop you click on games and follow instructions for purchasing the game. You can use your credit card or your bank information to purchase the game and also I have also sorted with Image Factory, they are also the one who carry the games for me so those are the options I have right now, hopefully I could get it out where its available countrywide."

So far there are 3 installations of the Belize Trivia Challenge series. If you would like to purchase copies you can contact Simpson at 607-1088. You can also check out the game at www.belizeanartwork.com
