Game Information
HQ Trivia takes the form of a live game show, which usually airs daily at 9PM US Eastern Time, with another show at 3PM US Eastern on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In 2018, the app broadcast games in Germany, Australia, and the U.K.

The host asks a series of increasingly difficult multiple choice questions, each with three possible answers. Players who get a question correct within the 10-second limit move on; the rest are eliminated. Any question that eliminates the majority of players is deemed a "savage question". In the usual case that multiple people correctly answer all the questions, the prize is split between all the respective winners. As of December 2017, the prize for games had ranged from $200 to $400,000. Players can purchase "extra lives" – or earn them through game-play or by inviting additional players – and may use one to return to the game after being eliminated. In addition, players can earn "erasers" to eliminate one of the wrong answers to a question.
