finally win
HQ Trivia.
But . . . what is it? You've probably seen people mention it on
Your Twitter timeline, or maybe you've even watched
the hysterical video of a woman having an emotional breakdown
Over winning $11 in the game. So allow me to introduce you to 2018's hottest internet phenomenon, HQ Trivia.

Trivia Game That all takes place within an app and, bonus, comes with a possible cash prize. The games
Take place twice per day - noon and 6 p.m. PT - and consist of 12 questions ranging from easy to hard. As hundreds of thousands of viewers tune in, they are presented with multiple-choice options
That they must decide on within mere seconds . . . and with every round, more folks choose incorrectly, disqualifying themselves.

Who hosts the game?
There are several live HQ
Trivia hosts, but most notable is quirky personality
Scott Rogowsky - sometimes referred to as "Quiz Daddy." Since HQ started in Fall 2017, Rogowsky has become a cult-favorite of
Trivia fanatics, with some
publicly lamenting his absence while he was away for his holiday break and others
creating meme videos all about Scott.
How does it operate?
The
Trivia Game comes from the app workshop of the guys who founded Vine, which explains how they know a thing or two about gaining a viral following! Money-wise, the prize pot for every
