or better known as simply "HQ." Any of y'all doing it?

It's been out for a while. One of my bartenders hipped me to it back in January this year, but it didn't catch with me personally until she roped a bunch of heads into doing a group jam game with it, forcing me to sign up. Now I can't stop playing.
Essentially, it's a twice-daily (usually at 3pm and 9pm EST but it may vary) livecast trivia app game with twelve questions for a typical $5,000 pot although it varies. Saturdays and Sundays only have one game and I think Sundays has a significantly larger pot of unset value with fifteen questions. You play against everyone else who's logged in at the time. The most I've seen logged on to play was almost two million, this past Sunday.
The questions go from simple to hard. The ones at the beginning are ridiculously simple to the point of being silly. People still strike out at them, but someone told me they're probably bots. Not sure how that works, but maybe some people are really that stupid. Anyway, around maybe the fifth question is where it flips up to being hard. You are given ten seconds to choose between three answers, which makes internet lookups for info impossible. Questions that eliminate more than half the remaining players at any question are deemed "savage." What makes it frustrating is that you'll strike out at one question, but you'll keep watching and you'll probably know some or all of the remaining questions.
You are given options for an extra life of continued play in one session if you bring in friends to sign up and play. That's only one time for each person, so if you want more extra lives, make more friends! Sometimes the host will flip it up and gift you an extra life for the next day only if you survive through an indeterminate number of questions. One game I did, the extra life limit was at five and I crapped out at four. 
Those that make through all questions split the pot, which goes into your member account and is available for cashing in through PayPal. You can sit on it and let it accrue according to how many times you can win. The less people that survive, the bigger your payout. The most I've seen people win so far is about $350 from that two million member match. The least I've seen people win is about fifteen cents. It's that cray. Apparently there are also rare battle royale matches where questions just keep going on until only one person or nobody survives. Sometimes there are also surprise sneak attack matches at midnight. You just gotta keep your phone at bay for the notifications.
It seems to be a real thing now, with companies starting to ban its play during office hours because productivity comes to a screeching halt at 3pm from people being all up into the game. Not surprising, as it's really fun and addictive to see just how smart you really are and how you match up with other people in that regard. If you do decide to get in on it, do yourself a favor and swipe to turn off the chat. It's an unnecessary social media function of the app that'll distract you from playing. And ten seconds to choose an answer goes faster than you think.
