The HQ Trivia App Is Hacking Your Brain
65HQ is taking over! Kim & Christina Ochoa break it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
"By now, you’ve probably heard of HQ, the wildly popular trivia app that lets you participate in a live game show and win real money. The app was released in August and grew into a cultural phenomenon in months. It has boasted more than 1 million players in a single game. The app recently encountered controversy after it was funded by controversial venture capitalist and former Trump adviser Peter Thiel.
Here’s how it works: There are usually 12 multiple-choice questions that give players just a few seconds to answer them correctly. After each question, the players who guessed it wrong are eliminated. At the end, those who answered every question right get a share of the cash prize, which is often around $2,500 but has been as much as $20,000 in one night. When there’s a large pool of winners, though, they net hilariously small sums of money."
