The day I won HQ Trivia

I’ve been playing HQ Trivia since late January 2018 and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It’s a seamless mix of game show and pub quiz that you can experience wherever you are. It allows the clever (or just plain lucky) an extreme feeling of self-righteousness when you get questions right that so many others get wrong.

If you read my latest post about HQ Trivia you will know that I got the quiz bug bad and vowed to not stop playing until I won. The premise if you haven’t heard is simple, answer 12 questions and win a share of the jackpot.

 

There are 2 shows each day in the UK at 3pm and 9pm; but if you log in at 3pm and 9pm EST (8pm and 2am) you can play along with the North American shows too. This adds up to four chances a day to win real money. There’s no minimum withdrawal limit so as soon as you have won you can withdraw your cash.

 

Today is the day

Every draw I open the app thinking that today will be the day and I can consistently get to questions 9 and 10 before they start throwing the real curve ball questions.

 

The 6th February 2018 was different though and I could feel it. The first three questions were easy and I breezed through. Then disaster struck; the app crashed and the host had to call time on the show halting the quiz. 45 minutes later it restarted with the same three questions, any of those who somehow managed to get the first three questions wrong got a reprieve and we played again. There were a few questions I didn’t know the answers to but by a process of elimination managed to get right.

 

I had no extra lives (if you’d like to help sign up with the promo code “sayzey”) and knew that a wrong answer would dump me out of the quiz. I made it to question 12, the money question, and I knew the answer! It was about Robert Lopez the writer of the Frozen song Let it go and which broadway show he won his Tony award for to complete his EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). I knew the answer was Avenue Q.

 

I was elated and did a little dance around the front room to the despair of my partner who was knocked out earlier in the quiz. The trouble was over 9,000 other people also got the question right meaning that I shared the jackpot of $2,500 with 9046 other winners. I won just $0.28 which converts to about 20p.

 

I still won! And I can cash it out!

Want Early Access to Quiz App that can earn you real money?

If you have read any of my previous posts you will know that I am all about making extra cash. With this new app you can win cash and have fun, especially if you are playing with a bunch of friends.

 

What’s it called?

 

Its called HQ Trivia and its a live quiz played by millions (despite its unreleased status in the UK!) with real money to win.

 

A friend introduced me to the game and it would seem to me that is the only way to download the app at the moment.  I tried to download it on my fiancees phone and could only find dubious fake apps, so make sure you download the right one.  I’ll tell you how to get it after I’ve explained what it is.

 

Fake Apps – Don’t download these.

What exactly is it?

The premise is simple, there are several quizzes each day with varying cash pots. The prizes are in dollars and range from a few hundred dollars to $15k and everyone has a shot at winning.

 

You only need to answer 12 multiple choice questions correctly. They start off easy and get progressively harder as the game goes on.  I have painfully been knocked out twice on question 11 and was down to the last 20 players from a few hundred thousand on one round. Its easy to get addicted!

 

I got to the last 20!

 

If you manage to answer all the questions you share the prize pot with anyone else who happened to win.  You could be lucky and be the only one to take away a grand or more, or have to share $350 with 500 other people!

 

It’s fully interactive and you can see how many other people are playing in real time.  The presenters are usually fun and will make reference to current events so you know it’s live and not a scam.

 

Once you’ve won you can cash out your winnings instantly there’s no minimum amount to keep you locked in and playing.

 

How do I download?

 

You could head over to the app store or play store and search for it but when I did that I found a bunch of fake apps.  I had to use the link sent to me by my friend which when opened brought me to the correct app. https://get.hqtrivia.com

 

 

The correct app is made by “Intermedia Labs” and has 1 million+ downloads and looks like the image above in the Play Store.

 

Create your account

 

Once downloaded and you are creating your account you will be asked for a referal code. I would be extremely grateful if you would use the code “sayzey” without the quotes, that’s my username and if you do I will be gifted with an extra life.  I’m afraid you don’t get anything extra for using it but you would be helping me out so if you do it that would be great.

 

Once signed up and logged in its a waiting game until the next quiz begins.  I would reccommend giving yourself at least half an hour before a quiz begins to install it and make sure its all working.

 

The app does send out push notifications to alert you to a quiz beginning. Some of them are catered to the USA so there is one at 2am and these are where the big money is to be won.

 

It’s a fun game and I will not quit playing until I have won something!  You can be sure I will want to brag about it if I do win and I will write about it again!

 

The link again is https://get.hqtrivia.com and you will be lead to the correct app from there.

 

I look forward to hearing if you win! #GoodLuck
