HQ Trivia

Ok so I try to play this everyday because it’s pretty cool and a lot of fun but it glitches really hard a lot and to make it glitch less you have to be connected to a super strong WiFi many many times I have been far along the game and it glitches and when it goes back to normal it says I clicked an answer when I never did and it’s always the wrong one so I get kicked out and lose because the game malfunctioned. I understand they are live-streaming a game show but if this could get fixed the game would be 100x better. If you have super strong WiFi and you Like trivia game ands winning money I would recommend it but if your WiFi is bad to moderate Maybe steer away or just watch because chances are it will glitch and you will lose. I have found the creators created Vine for some people who created such a huge app they should work harder on this one many people have it lag a lot and as stated in many other reviews the hosts talk way to much and drag it on and make aborting jokes plus they try to hype up $2,000 when the reality of it is on average 150 people win and the most I have seen some one win is $32 and on the $10,000 people won $5 because so many played and won they should start the games when it hits a certain number of people so the prize is better and it doesn’t lag (400,000 people)

I can say that I’ve been playing this game since November of this year and man is it “first of all” addictive and the schedule for this game helps as well, for weekdays the games are held 6 hours apart from each other (3PM EST and 9PM EST) and on the weekends, they have the 9PM EST game which honestly for me, makes it very convenient to tune in and play. I’ve also never seen any other app like it. There are some problems once and a while, but for the most part, they’ve ironed them out really well and continue to iron them. They try their best to give everyone a fair chance at winning or splitting the cash prize. They do a great job on adding features and mostly bug fixes to make the experience even better than previously. I also like how it’s evolved so much over just the past month. The HQ developers do in fact work on the game and they push updates regularly so now the game CAN handle the ever-growing 700k+ people that are tuning in to play so don’t worry about problems with lag much and if so, the question tab will appear either way. In my opinion, the host is extremely funny and makes light of any situation. I WOULDN’T consider him to be annoying or cringing. So YES, this is a definite recommendation from me to download this game and at least try it out once.

Love the new formats, new shows, new hosts, HQ evolves and still has a feel to it like you’re part of something special. I’ve seen some reviews criticizing the chat. The chat is not the sea of negativity and objectification of hosts some want to describe it as. You can also very, very easily turn it off. The chaos of the chat is one of the things that adds to the experience and makes it feel like an exclusive community. There’s a time honored tradition of trolls spamming the wrong answers in the chat, and just as time honored as that is the tradition of people who make the mistake of taking that advice. It’s amazing, it’s fun, and it’s like nothing else out there. The chat can be negative, they can be overly critical of hosts, but it’s mostly people meme-ing, complimenting Roisman’s fashion sense as well as the fact she’s gorgeous as long as she’s not singing. Leave the singing to “question five, ah, ah, ah, ah, question five!l”. The hosts are great, people in chat just like to troll and also have undying crushes on Rogowski. That’s it. The game also lays the law down - “STAY CHILL IN THE CHAT!”. HQ is five stars and we don’t need PC police to save the innocent from the chat. It’s part of the fun and there’s a good system in place to handle abuse and harassment in the chat.

First off, I’ll say that this app is a great idea and should be a ton of fun. I love trivia and am good at it, and I don’t really have complaints about the difficulty of later questions because it makes sense that the game needs to narrow down the active players significantly, so that people can win more than a few cents each. However, the game has two big problems that I think need to be addressed if this game is to stay relevant. My first big issue with this game is that the app absolutely cannot keep up with the number of players. I have been kicked from games randomly, lagged out, and several times I have selected the correct answer, it’s shown that I selected the correct answer, and then it’s told me I’ve been eliminated. My second big problem with the game bothers me even more than the first. I regularly skip games because I do not want to deal with watching the host. The host is the absolute worst. He is so unbelievably annoying and he just rambles forever about nonsense, completely ruining games regularly and making it not fun to play. I don’t understand how this isn’t more of an issue for more people. The host single-handedly makes me not want to play the game, even though the chance of winning money keeps bringing me back. Please fire Scott! He is so, so terrible and I hate him more with every game I play; he’s making me become less and less interested in continuing to use the app.

The new update didn’t fix stability issues. It added pop-up ads into the daily challenge, which freeze. You have to totally close out of HQ, then restart it. Really inconvenient. And it’s hard to focus on a timed daily challenge when every other question is interrupted by an ad. Before that, I thought it was a new nice feature. A fun idea. Sorry Matt, you’re not funny! I think you’re a nice guy, but if you refer to us as “babies” one more time I’m going to rip out your earrings! PLEASE no more singing! Gives me migraines & you waste too much time. Get to the freaking questions & stop messing around! Repeatedly showing the same clip of a bear named Reggie isn’t funny either. You’ve done it once. Now STOP! You waste so much time. You really make me miss Scott. Lauren Gambino is the BEST! LOVE her!! She’s my fave!! I wish she’d host everyday! She’s so NOT annoying & she’s fun. HQ Words needs some work. Whoever is coming up with the clues, isn’t the best. They don’t always make sense or it’s not how people think. Could be better. I do like the host Anna ok. In General I like playing HQ, but I do think 10 sec is too short of a time limit on each question. There are also way too many glitches. I LOVE theme nights. That was a good idea. But not when it’s something crude like South Park. I would recommend to friends, but tell them to manage expectations.
