You may be missing the bar or restaurant experience, and no doubt you've heard the stories about the owners of these establishments.  But what about the other companies that rely on bar and restaurant patrons to stay in business?

Mike Yum founded local trivia company Quizzo! in 2008. Chances are, if you've played trivia in a bar or restaurant in Metro Detroit in the last decade, it was hosted by one of the company's "Quizmasters."

As it became increasingly apparent that MIchigan was going to close bars and restaurants, Mike and his team began working on re-inventing their entire business model, shifting it online.  Over the past weeks, the company started several online offerings, including:

1. Virtual Quizzo - with the hosts and players participating over video chat
2. Virtual Quizzo for corporate clients - the equivalent of a virtual happy hour
3. Carry-Out Quizzo - themed packages available to purchase online to host your own game.
4. Free Quizzo twice weekly on Facebook live.

As a Michigan company, it was also important for Quizzo to give back to the community that's supported them for 12 years.  This included creating revenue-earning opportunities for the company's hosts, and even some educational quiz packages to help with home schooling, written by a board-certified educator.
