Created by two of the founders behind the video service Vine – Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll — "HQ Trivia" was a new type of trivia game that launched in 2017. Played from smartphones or other mobile devices, the app allowed millions of users to compete against each other in live broadcasts to win real cash prizes.
Although "HQ Trivia" was incredibly popular, the app was well known for its technical issues. This may well have had something to do with the fact that the game was played by so many people, becoming a victim of its own success. After all, there's a significant challenge in broadcasting a live feed to millions of players that also has interactive elements that need to be tracked to determine who has answered questions correctly within the time limit.
During the early rounds, when most players were still connected and all trying to answer questions simultaneously, the feed would often buffer and lag, causing participants to miss vital information or the banter from the host. Other technical issues were also common, forcing players to be booted from the game or leave as the screen froze. Games were also regularly canceled or postponed due to rarely explained problems.
Even worse was that many people could not withdraw their winnings. For most of its life, "HQ Trivia" didn't allow players to make a withdrawal unless they had more than $20 in their account. Meanwhile, others voiced concerns about delays in payments and the fact that the app often wouldn't process any withdrawals.

Created by two of the founders behind the video service Vine – Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll — "HQ Trivia" was a new type of trivia game that launched in 2017. Played from smartphones or other mobile devices, the app allowed millions of users to compete against each other in live broadcasts to win real cash prizes.
The format proved to be a huge success and it soon became one of the most popular apps in the world. Competitors soon appeared, including high-profile games such as Facebook's "Confetti," as other companies rushed to get a slice of the pie. Then, almost as quickly as it had risen, "HQ Trivia" faced high-profile issues and controversies that scared away investors, isolated players, and pushed away some of its own employees. Just a few years after it had first become available, "HQ Trivia" was no more.
We've taken some time to run through the reasons why the app failed and the most important factors that contributed to its demise — here are the exciting highs and disastrous lows of "HQ Trivia."
At its peak the game had more than 2 million players

"HQ Trivia" arrived on Apple's App Store in August 2017 before coming to Android a few months later. The mobile trivia game quickly grew in popularity, amassing hundreds of thousands of downloads. Games often had more than 100,000 players, with host Scott Rogowsky becoming a familiar face to U.S. households. Available worldwide, "HQ Trivia" also had local quiz games, with the likes of Sharon Carpenter hosting the U.K. edition.
The app's popularity led to it to other platforms, including a release on Apple TV that brought the experience to big screens and mobile devices. In turn, the expansion of "HQ Trivia" spurred further growth, with the game reaching a record number of concurrent players in 2018 at more than two million.
Throughout the lifetime of the app, it also paid out some $6 million of prize winnings. In early 2018, it was not unusual for games to have around 500,000 players on average, with hundreds or thousands able to win a share of the prize money by getting all of the answers correct.
Trivia HQ faced numerous technical issues

Famous guest hosts were a regular occurrence

The nature of "HQ Trivia" meant that the game required a host for each show, who would read out questions and also provide commentary between rounds. The main host in the trivia app was Scott Rogowsky, who was often in charge of the biggest events. However, there was also a rotating cast of presenters who appeared at other times, with eventual U.K. host Sharon Carpenter being one of the most prominent, along with actor Sarah Pribis and Casey Jost, a comedy writer and brother of "Saturday Night Live" star Colin Jost.
For certain events, viewers would also be treated to special guest hosts. Usually appearing to promote an upcoming movie or television series, these hosts have included some big names. Kevin Hart took charge of a $100,000 show as part of a Winner-Takes-All round to promote "The Night School." Dwayne Johnson was the host of a $300,000 game as part of his press tour for "Rampage." Other prominent figures to also host "HQ Trivia" include former NFL star and Hall of Fame member Curtis Martin, actor and director Danny DeVito, as well as television star Neil Patrick Harris.
