What do people think of HQ Trivia?
Only 1–2 shows per day, and times may be inconvenient depending on your location.
They should show some sort of preview or have a tutorial / computer mode where you can play previous games.
The app itself is pretty nice and when it works, the experience is seamless.
Unfortunately, the games are frequently delayed and experience technical difficulties. Plus often you put the right answer but it doesn't register.
Also, the trivia questions are not very satisfying. Who cares what company
owns Waypoint? That's not an interesting piece of knowledge.
Also apparently the founder doesn't know how journalism works.
Tried this for the first time today and as soon as I joined my first live trivia show - there was an "aha" moment. This feels like the intersection of live TV and mobile. And it engages users in a way I've never seen before.
Feels very futuristic.
My prediction: HQ will have over 1 million DAU by the end of 2017. It was built to be an incredibly viral product.
Furthermore, I think HQ will spawn a series of copycat products that will do something quite similar in the coming year.
I see so many ways how this can change the future of how live shows can engage audiences.
Brilliant work, keep up the good work! I am so excited about this.
I love this bite-sized, interactive format for Live Video. The hosts are engaging, the questions are actually challenging. The live chat audience is hilarious and so far, I haven't seen much trolling. genius!
I am extremely happy that someone finally decided to ship a product like this. It's almost like Hunger Games meets Black Mirror meets Nerve, but obviously not too that degree. I hope this will bring more people around the world together because it's entertaining af. I cannot wait to see future features and collaborations. Great job, HQ. You've reignited my love towards Product Design again.
Really fun. Can see this being super addictive.
Played my first game and was out on question 3, like a chump, but still enjoyed. The production quality is great, you feel like you're on a TV game show.
