Get rewarded for your knowledge with SuperOne

Remember in your younger days when you were struggling over a load of homework and your mum or dad would try to coax you into getting on with it? They might have tried one of several persuasion tactics.

One of the most well-worn methods is to warn a child of the dangers of NOT studying by chanting a mantra along the line of: “You don’t want to end up being a dustman/cleaner/dinner lady” etc.

The alternative would of course be to stress the positives of getting on with one’s work. In other words, “if you do every homework, complete the extension tasks and keep pleasing your teachers, then you will end up with a great job paying squillions of dollars a year.” (Or something along those lines).

In reality, the most studious children do not necessarily become the most handsomely rewarded in later life. Many become perpetual students, staying at university to do a Ph.D. then maybe becoming a professor, or writing further research papers.

It all looks great on a CV but it doesn’t exactly pay big bucks. We’ve all had friends, on the other hand, who was less than 100% committed to their books, who spent more time at parties or in drinking establishments than lecture halls or libraries, and who even — after stumbling into university by the back door — failed to exactly pulling their socks up as finals approached.

The strange thing is that if you’ve lost touch with them and fancy checking out what they’re up to via the internet the chances are you’ll find that many of them have become extremely successful, surprisingly so. Plenty will have big jobs in finance or sales, using their natural charm, good looks, gift of the gab, or whatever else they need to get ahead of the rat race.

It all seems pretty arbitrary; unfair, perhaps. But life is rarely fair. You don’t necessarily get back what you put in. This philosophy is a bit stark and there is plenty of nuance in people’s individual circumstances that can allow us to add more shades of grey to the picture presented here.

There are of course plenty of people who have worked very hard all their lives and become successful doctors, lawyers and CEOs just as much as there are plenty of high-school dropouts who never enjoy a renaissance of any kind.

And let’s not forget money is not the most important thing in life for a huge tranche of society. There is, however, one new solution that could provide an avenue to riches for people who put in hours upon hours of hard graft. For the first time ever, there is financial deliverance for the brilliant trivia wizards, the outstanding quizzers, and the people amongst us who have unending mines of knowledge where most people park their brains.

Yes, these people can now be handsomely rewarded without leaving the comfort of their own homes. No more punching the air with pride when they absolutely boss a TV quiz show or win 10 head-to-head challenges on Sporcle: eggheads can now get real tangible rewards for having incredible minds.

SuperOne, a new mobile gaming app created by Andreas Christensen, a Norwegian technology developer with decades in the industry, offers life-changing rewards for the very best quizzers on the planet, is the answer. Perhaps best of all, SuperOne has settings that enable users to play for free to get a feel of the set-up, alongside mega pay-to-play tournaments, plus duels and multiplayer options.

And then there’s the option to specialize too. Love your football but hate pop music? That’s cool — you can just concentrate on football if that’s your niche.

There’s scope to drill deeper into your interests: if you’re a Real Madrid fan you can solely enter tournaments in which all the questions are on the celebrated Spanish galacticos. All the games are based on skill, so it requires no gambling licenses.

It means almost all jurisdictions in the world will allow players to download the app and compete for these outstanding prizes accordingly. Andreas Christensen's SuperOne is unquestionably a breakthrough development in the mobile gaming space.

It’s where the ultimate nerds get to be the cool kids again. If you’re smart, sharp, do your homework, and really dig winning stuff then you’ll absolutely love it.
