HQ: the “game show” app
March 21, 2018
It was a late dinner when my sister said that she had to pull out her phone in order to enter in HQ’s daily games. Every day at two different times the game show begins. Twelve questions are then asked and whoever gets all twelve of them right can win up to $5,000.
So, after seeing my sister so infatuated with this game, I decided to look into it. I downloaded this game and I began playing at 2 pm and at 8pm, because they only host two live games per day. I found that the first three questions are beginner level and very simple. But after the first three the other nine are very challenging.
Most of the time I would make it to question five and my high score even being up to the seventh question. The excitement of trying to win $5,000 for just answering questions is such a thrill.
When I got the notification at 2pm that the game was starting, I took a look around and noticed that many of my student peers got the notification as well. We would then work together to try and get as many questions right as we could before all of us were eliminated.
Overall, I have enjoyed this game for the three weeks that I have had it installed. The host personality Scott is just a great host. He not only keeps the audience engaged with quirky commentary, but his goofy puns tend to make me laugh while I try and guess the next question.
So, I do recommend this app simply because it brings people together to work for a common goal. My family has made a bit of an event out of this where we all play together at dinner to see how far we can get.
