Live trivia game app with real cash prizes, HQ Trivia hosts ask increasingly difficult questions, users have 10 seconds to answer correctly, games at scheduled times, split cash prize for correct answers
HQ Trivia is a live trivia game app developed by Intermedia Labs that launched in 2017. The app offers users the chance to win real cash prizes by answering increasingly difficult trivia questions.
Here's how it works: At scheduled times during the day, usually 3 times per day, the HQ Trivia host starts a new game. Users who have opened the app and joined the game see the host on their screen. The host then asks a multiple choice trivia question with 3 possible answers. Users have 10 seconds to make their choice. As the game progresses, the questions get harder and any user who answers incorrectly is eliminated.
The game continues through 12-15 questions until just 1 or 2 users are left standing with all correct answers. Those final users then split that game's cash prize amount, usually between $100 to $20,000 total. Prizes often increase for special event games.
HQ Trivia was a breakout hit when it debuted, as the trivia game show format combined with winning real cash prizes attracted millions of players. The app has gone through ups and downs in maintaining its user base, but still hosts over 500,000 players per game. Part of its continued appeal is the entertaining hosts that lead the rapid-fire trivia action.
