Pop Culture Game Show Series for Teens - 14 Episodes

This fun, exciting, travelling quiz show will test youth across this great nation of ours to answer questions that span the gamut of pop culture. What’s at stake? POP WHIZ bragging rights and some fantastic prizes... IS EVERYBODY READY?!

The fresh and energetic music accompanied by the retro graphics and colourful elements will set the stage for a remarkable experience and are vital to the identity of the series.

The concept for POP WHIZ was redesigned entirely from its original format, and now the focal point is our QUIZ CUBE! Our travelling studio, for one, housed in our carnival-style studio big top, allows us to engage communities across the country and bring a big shiny-floor gameshow to them. POP WHIZ is designed to execute in a mobile and safe manner which our community partners have wholeheartedly embraced.

We lean into and are excited to amplify the broad spectrum of ethnicities and cultures that make up the Canadian landscape. Embracing diversity, identity, and gender balance, POP WHIZ is a celebration of inclusiveness and multi-culturalism!

In Round 1, contestants enter the QUIZ CUBE. They are introduced to our virtual reality co-host, Jamie, the booming Quiz Cube electronic voice that asks a series of pop culture questions. The top five contestants from Round 1 move on to Round 2, requesting a new series of questions. The top two finalists then face off in the third round presented by our POP WHIZ Host – "Gunnarolla," to find out who is crowned the POP WHIZ Champion and earns the grand prize!

We want to showcase the unique and unified spirit of areas across Canada through the beauty, honoured history and colourful local characters of the communities. Celebrating what makes these communities exceptional places to live and visit is integral to the success of this series and is the backdrop of each episode.
