Following the huge success of last month’s WordSurge, which reached Number One in the App Store Free Charts and App Store Trivia Charts, Live Tech Games has launched KnockOut, a brand new interactive game in partnership with ITV.

The new app will host live trivia games alongside the World Cup, and is available to download in App Stores now, with the first game on ITV (Senegal v Netherlands) taking place at 4pm today (Monday, November 21) and the first KnockOut tournament set to start at 21:00 this evening.

KnockOut brings together the proven Live Tech Games framework of live trivia tournaments with ITV’s coverage of the World Cup. With a direct screen-to-screen experience, ITV viewers can test their knowledge of football themed trivia using their mobile phones. As with other Live Tech Games offerings, KnockOut is completely free to enter and play, with champions winning cash prizes.

With World Cup live games and highlights set to be broadcast on ITV and comprehensive coverage and content across its website and social media, fans can tune into multiple platforms to engage with the action. ITV’s presenters and pundits will offer expert insight and analysis, and the launch of KnockOut offers viewers a further opportunity to engage with the action by putting their World Cup knowledge to the test with KnockOut’s trivia based around the teams and match (or two) of that very day.


Samuel Worsley, co-founder and co-CEO of Live Tech Games, said: “The FIFA World Cup is a huge TV event and we are so thrilled to continue our partnership with ITV on such a momentous occasion. The ITV team is fantastic and has incredible plans to roll out coverage across TV, socials and with the help of KnockOut, interactive mobile platforms too. We can’t wait to see football fans come together to engage in a fun and competitive game themselves.”

Following a multi-million pound investment and a collaboration deal, ITV and Live Tech Games have developed a series of exciting live, multiplayer mobile games. Most recently, the pair found success with This Morning’s audience with word trivia game WordSurge, which attracted players who spent a combined 1.6million minutes playing on the app.

The trivia in each KnockOut game is relevant to the matches and teams of the day, with tournaments set to be hosted after the last match of the day is played. Players will go head to head in the live tournament, matched up at random, and compete to answer correctly as fast as they can. To play KnockOut and become part of the matchday action, you can download the app now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
