Do people still enjoy a question and answer messy quiz format ? For me and unscripted one adds a bit of realistic unscripted fun to when the pies might come and how messy it is ?
Yeah, but it works best with at least two models. That way the tension is in which one gets the mess. With one you are just covering the model mess and the quiz is kind of irrelevant or you risk not having anyone messed up and wasting your gunge - and let's be honest, no one wants messy shoots where no one gets messy.

I obviously can't post clips here as they're from a vintage kids show, but look for Flan Your Folks from a well known 70s/80s Saturday morning show in the UK, on YouTube!
Great concept where the kids get the prizes and the parents get the "fun, fun, fun!"
or The Phantom Flan Flinger Challenge, also from the same show, where one contestant gets easy questions and escapes the mess, whereas the opponent gets impossible questions and gets trashed!
I love a game/chance aspect to getting messy. I think quizzes are great fun, but there are other options, too. Such as Rock, Paper, Scissors, Pie or Water Wars or Poker, etc.
But I also agree with the others. If it's just one player, all it means is the only model either won't get messy or won't get messy as much. Who would want that?

Similarly, when the "quiz" format is rigged either with rules that ensure someone is going to get messy every five seconds or impossible questions to ensure it's not even a quiz so much as it's a pretense to get everyone messy, I'm over that as well.
Basically, I like the quiz format when TV shows and YouTube channels do them.
Yes, realistic is much better. Since it's a splosh/gunge video, we know that someone is going to get gunged, so two models works best.
If the producer only has one gunge station, the models can cycle in and out with every question. The scenario can even have the seat being the trigger so that there's suspense as the model sits down (done with a buzzer sound effect, no special wiring needed).
If you're a producer with only one model available and you want to do a game, send me a message or an email and I'll give you some different ideas...
My favourite form of this is the one where an innocent third party gets gunged every time her partner gets a question wrong. Or, even better, one where you buzz in by gunging some poor, helpless third party, and then still get to gunge your opponent when you get a question right. (Or face the consequences yourself if you get it wrong!)
Love you, too
