Last night’s winner-takes-all HQ Trivia game ended without someone taking home the $14,059 prize, because a Nintendo question stumped everyone.
For months, players in HQ Trivia, a trivia app that offers cash prizes, say they have been having issues getting their money.
John Mayer joined regular host Scott Rogowsky on HQ yesterday for a special Father's Day game. Things got a little wild.
Popular live trivia app HQ Trivia usually pays out a cash prize after 12 questions, but last night, for the second time, they have tried a "winner takes all" approach. After 27 minutes of trivia, with $US25,000 ($32,496) on the line, two players remained - then the game abruptly ended as one of them reportedly got kicked from the game for cheating.
Yesterday's HQ Trivia was a little tense. Not only were there over a hundred thousand players - the most I've ever seen - but the chat was filled with comments about a Daily Beast article where host Scott Rogowsky's boss threatened to fire him. Even Rogoswky couldn't avoid addressing it, making veiled references to the online shitshow that preceded that day's game.
Last night, I opened the HQ app at 9pm to catch a round of trivia. While there are cash prizes on the line, making money isn't the only reason why I, and the nearly 20,000 other players who joined me, are obsessed with this app.
