You will always see people excited to play in the hopes of winning cash and other prizes. Games Shows and Mobile Apps Once mobile apps started coming out it was only a matter of time before trivia game show type ones appeared. Although there are many gaming and entertainment type apps, there is still a gap in the area of trivia. Yes, there are plenty of puzzle and even trivia type games, but we’re not talking about just sitting around figuring out puzzles for nothing. Playing apps are much more interactive and it is entertaining. One thing about the television is although the people there are involved, those of us watching at home play along for fun but we don’t have a chance of actually winning anything. Imagine being part of a game show on your phone where you can actually win something. The Introduction of HQ HQ is a fairly new app but it has become very popular in a short amount of time. It’s a very simple game where people just tap on your answer to the question given. So what makes this game so special. There are multiple unique and fun qualities that make this stand out from the rest. Users can’t play this game anytime they want. There is a scheduled day and time that this game takes place. Once you sign on at that particular time you will be greeted by a real host, just like on television. The host will introduce the game and go over instructions using witty humor. The host will send out the first question to everyone playing. You have 10 seconds to answer the question. If you get it right you move on to the next round. Now, comes the best part of this stellar mobile app. If you get all 12 questions right you win real money. Yes, you heard that right, real money. All the users that answer those 12 questions correctly get a piece of the prize. For example, if the prize is $10,000 and 5 people make it to the end, each person gets $2,000. Do keep in mind this game is not easy. The questions do get significantly more difficult. Sometimes only a few people win and sometimes more. It varies every time. The key here is that everyone playing has a real chance of winning. Millions of people log in to the app to take part because not only is it just fun, but it’s real. There is no cost to downloading or playing either, it’s completely free. With the wild success of this app, there is definitely room for more of these out there because the market is begging for it.
