DFS forum down?I like seeing on Twitter that the winners are excited on their $1.68 winfall
this is probably sarcasm, but whatever.i don't know what the #### you are talking about.
Despite the numbers that play ... I'd bet if I went to the grocery and asked 100 randoms "What is HQ Trivia?", I doubt more than 4 or 5 would know. Maybe 25/100 on a college campus?this is probably sarcasm, but whatever.
Most games have 700,000 to a million playing.
This thread is my first time hearing of it, as well.I assure you it was not sarcasm...
I just read an article where they claim they don't make any money: "Rus Yusupov, one of the app’s co-founders, told Variety that he’s seen “a ton of interest from brands and agencies who want to collaborate,” but they’ve never had any sponsored content or questions."I get physically angry watching people play this.
They offer paltry prizes in the low thousands while filling multiple questions with product placements/company references as a completely engaged audience of like 500K stares at them for 30 seconds. If these guys aren't making millions it's ridiculous.
Yes I'm jealous I didn't think of it.
Ah, the good old days, when the family gathered around the only radio and listened to their favorite radio shows...It is pretty buggy, last night question 1 just never appeared for me, automatic elimination. But it's a fun diversion. We've made playing HQ a family ritual every night, where me, my wife and our two kids gather up on the couch and all play on our own phones.
we do the same (though it's only been a week). Doing it only once or twice per day with live audience makes it more interesting than other trivia apps I've done. This one will likely get stale too, but I like it for now.It is pretty buggy, last night question 1 just never appeared for me, automatic elimination. But it's a fun diversion.

We've been playing for 3 months, if it were just me by myself I might have bailed by now. But it's more fun playing with others. I could see if you play at work with a bunch of other people, it could be a huge advantage in trying to answer the harder, more obscure questions that need some really specific knowledge.we do the same (though it's only been a week).

Have they done any product placement yet? I have seen a few instances where they pause in between questions but are only pimping their own game. I'm assuming they are using that time to test how they will eventually have some product placement but I haven't seen anything yet.I get physically angry watching people play this.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think Scott Rogowsky is pretty entertaining. I will definitely agree that the lag and bugginess has been quite annoying at times though.Played for a little bit but hated the host and the bugginess. Quit for good after the NYE fiasco. Great idea, horrible execution.
I think he has some talent but needs to dial it back. It's possible I'm being overly harsh, he's doing a lot of improv I'm sure so of course not every joke is going to be a gem.Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think Scott Rogowsky is pretty entertaining.

I've probably only played 5 or 6 times and each time there was at least 3 questions that contained a reference to a company or a specific brand name. If you're J&J, how much would you be willing to pay to have 500K people spend 45 seconds discussing the year that Band-Aids (tm) first became waterproof?Have they done any product placement yet?

Ah, I see what you mean. Not overly blatant, but a pseudo-ad spot nonetheless.I've probably only played 5 or 6 times and each time there was at least 3 questions that contained a reference to a company or a specific brand name.

Got # 3 right (Beagle).....got distracted and was eliminated on #4...Played this afternoon. Technical glitch on q3 about snoopy--the answers never appeared on my screen and I was eliminated.
same here.Played for a little bit but hated the host and the bugginess. Quit for good after the NYE fiasco. Great idea, horrible execution.
Was the answer that they had never been in your kitchen?I played last night for the first time, the Shakespeare pickle question knocked me out - which was fine, because the next question was about three people I had never heard of from the Hills.
3pm and 9pm EST Monday through Friday, and then just the 9PM EST game on Saturday and Sunday (but bigger prize pool generally)I always miss when these games start.
Used to think the host was horrible until some other people filled in for him for a week or so. Now I think he's phenomenal. Pretty much unplayable if anyone else hosts.Great concept. Good questions.
Host sucks balls. Buggier than hell.
Technically there doesn't even need to be a host.Used to think the host was horrible until some other people filled in for him for a week or so. Now I think he's phenomenal. Pretty much unplayable if anyone else hosts.
