HQ Trivia

[Jbo]

CP, Is anyone else on here playing this App?I had never heard of it until a couple days ago and now I am hooked. For the quick official run down

Players can participate at no cost in daily trivia games through which they can outright win or split prize money if they can correctly answer a series of questions of increasing difficulty. Players have ten seconds to answer each multiple-choice question.

Its a ton of fun and runs twice a day at 1PM and 7PM mountain. Players reach into up to a million. If you survive the 12 questions, all the winners share the pot. Got my wife hooked on it after one time.

Cash prizes vary from a couple hundred to 25000 +. On Sundays they run events like a knock out

Actually have no idea how I missed this, but thought a thread would be fun.

[AC]

I signed up, will give it a shot.

There was a thread on here about it a month or so ago and I downloaded the app then. Despite considering myself generally quite good at trivia, I haven't won a single penny. Made it to the final question once, but got it wrong. Would've only won $3 so no biggie.

Also, despite it being played globally, there are far too many American oriented questions, particularly around colleges and sports of which I know very little.

A tip that I didn't realise until a few weeks in when one of the presenters mentioned it is that you can swipe the chat comments away. The comments get particularly awful whenever there are female presenters on there.

I've been playing for weeks and have been to Q8 twice. It's darn hard toward the end.

I've wondered how people can get some of the uber-easy questions wrong.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I play it when I get a chance. There's been some huge prizes, like 25k one winner take all (except last night when the last 2 both got the question wrong and were knocked out, so they'll add that money to another game) and the Rock was on recently to promote his movie and the prize to share was 300k. I've only made it to the end once and guessed wrong. I hate when I get knocked out on question 6 or 7 or something then play along after I'm out and get the rest right. One of these days I'll fluke out and win, and I'm sure I'll win something like $1.

[Machiavelli]

^ I won once. Took some quick googling and a couple of guesses. Got 85 cents.

I typically have about 8 or 9 out of 12 right. but I'm usually out at question 5 or 6. I seem to be particularly bad that the modern pop culture and US sports. They expect the winners to have a much much deeper knowledge than I do. Really wouldn't even know where to start guessing who one the world series 12 years ago....

You can find me as kermitology on HQ, or enter that in the referral so I can get extra lives.

I won the Friday before last. Got $3.41 in my paypal account.

Meh. I got dumped by answering hedgehog today. I feel so dumb. And then the "Pips" question was question number 10?

[EldrickOnIce]

I got to 11 and answered Louisiana Purchase which was wrong. Or was that 10?

I also got 12 wrong

[Nammer403]

Played couple months ago, highest I ever got was 8
Has the lag stopped ?

[Nsd1]

It lags for me on ShawOpen wifi but LTE and private wifi are fine.

I got the Browns helmet colour question wrong because I instinctively clicked on brown first. Good to know that you can't change your answer once you choose one.

[Knut]

The lag is much better. Also doing some bigger money games

I have won twice now. Once was 83c and the next was $4.03 Mix of luck and skill

My username is Ahesl I think you can add unlimited referrals for extra lives.

Also, here is a trick to get an extra life. https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/27/he...ut-a-referral/ I think you can only do it once per week and it can not be too close to game time.

Ill add you kermitology

[MoneyGuy]

Those announcers are annoying. I know they have to entertain, but still annoying.

[Jbo]

I also lost on the hedgehog question today. I would feel worse if it didn’t also knock out 400k people

Yup. I guessed hedgehog too.

Would have gotten the next question about Whoopi Goldberg's real name wrong as well.

I got Deer correct, but lost on the Whoopi question.

Ha, that totally worked. Thanks!

[AC]

I chose the right answer on Q1 and got eliminated. Looks like a lot of people did based on the outrage in the comments.

Kind of an important feature to get right...

They're addressing the issue now, and restarting the game.

[Jbo]

Yup same for me. Glad they realized it and are restarting
