Bloomberg has launched a weekly news quiz called Pointed that tests players’ knowledge of the news and also their confidence in their answers. 

“We’re bringing a new verb to Bloomberg,” says Chadwick Matlin, editorial director for Bloomberg's Games. “You can already watch, read and listen—now you can play.” 

Pointed is accessible on Bloomberg.com, on mobile and on the Bloomberg Terminal. It is free to play. It runs weekly from Thursdays at 6 p.m. EST to Mondays at 11:59 p.m. EST. 

“Pointed is a uniquely Bloomberg experience,” says Joel Weber, head of Bloomberg Explains and Games. “We’re excited to pursue games as a new content category and engage users in unexpected ways.”  

In separate development, Bloomberg has announced the launch of a new Bloomberg Original series: Quantum Marketing with Raja Rajamannar, author and the chief marketing & communications officer at Mastercard. 

There will be six weekly episodes, each delving into the future of marketing in the face of rapidly changing technology. They will be available on all of Bloomberg’s linear, streaming and digital platforms
