Return Entertainment

Return Entertainment

Return Entertainment is a Helsinki-based technology company making television playable. We build interactive experiences that turn passive audiences into active participants, creating new ways for broadcasters, streamers and content owners to engage, understand and monetize their viewers. Our technology is already proven in production, with experiences shipped on Samsung TV in the US and Amazon Fire TV in the UK.

ReturnTV

ReturnTV is a game layer for television that lets viewers play along with what they’re watching, using the phone already in their hand. With a QR code or link, viewers join instantly — no app or sign-up — and take part in live predictions, trivia and polls synchronized with the action on screen. AI helps create contextual content from the program itself, while every interaction can be measured and branded moments and rewards become part of the experience rather than an interruption.
