Last year we did some really cool projects with QuizControl, we made quizzes that were played by millions of players but also by ministers and even the prime-minister of the Netherlands! We also improved our service and had the pleasure to work with a couple of really interesting new clients.

Michiel Rademakers, Ammar Tijani and Martijn Reintjes founded QuizControl Limited in the first week of januari 2010.
