Does anyone else play this? It’s a daily live trivia challenge (9pm est every day and 3pm as well on weekdays) with a $2,000-10,000 cash prize split among the winners. Usually, that means around $10 per person on the $2k games. It’s hard as balls, but still super fun.

Anyway, if you sign up, please use DaewooLanos as your referral code. That way I get an extra life.

Contemplating trying it....but....can’t people just look up the answers on Google or something? Not quite sure how it works...

Usually there’s not enough time to search the whole question. Sometimes there’s long enough to do a quick search on one answer choice to confirm or deny.

Just looked and it won’t work on my phone anyway - I have an older Samsung Galaxy Core LTE with Android 4.4, and it requires at least Android 5.1! :(

You get ten seconds to answer, so you really can’t look it up. A lot of the questions are intentionally worded so that they’re hard to research, too. I remember one was something like, “Which of these celebrities is least likely to be found on an airplane?” and you’d have to look up the wiki for all three and dig into it in order to find out that John Madden is afraid of flying. (I knew that off-hand, luckily)

20-something cousins were playing it while we were visiting the in-laws over the holidays.

I can’t remember how many hundreds of thousands of people were logged in during the sessions, but every game the talking beardmouth was making apologies for the back end crashing.

Holy shit, is this game popular. I hope they are working on something else to cash in on this popularity while they still can.

Yes....though the Android app is flaky (I’ve heard the iOS is as well, so probably just the fact that 800k people live-streaming is tough on the servers!). I’ll tap an answer and either nothing happens, or it just times me out anyway 25% of the time.

I got to 10 once, got #11 wrong. So many people won that they each got $4.97 or something like that.

I’m still pissed from the ‘Laser Run’ answer a few days ago. It’s a love/hate thing.

I’m MissMercedes (I guess your username is your referral code?) on there. It’s a fun way to try my hand at some Trivia questions and it’s only like 5 minutes of time. My favourite host so far was Jimmy Kimmel, the better Jimmy. :)
