Really fun. Can see this being super addictive.

Played my first game and was out on question 3, like a chump, but still enjoyed. The production quality is great, you feel like you're on a TV game show.

Pros:

Fun. The fact that it's live and has a real host is really engaging.

Cons:

Battery power? Used 15% of my battery in under 10 minutes.

More! - Live means there's only couple of games a day - want more!

What I love about the whole thing, is that this idea was actually floated back in the day on NBC, a whole live game show on NBC that tied in with an app. What this really is is an exploration of an idea that was quickly abandoned by NBC as soon as it started. (I'm pretty sure it was NBC) Things I'd like to see happen with this app, first I'd like to see Chromecast support, imagine throwing this up on the TV and having your friends all come around maybe even a room code type deal so we can all just play from the same screen. Second I'd love to see it on Android, lucky for me I have an iPad so I can still play but man I feel bad for all those Android only guys. And third I'd like to see more frequent shows, maybe different hosts at different times so we can frequently get more chances to play or even just a training mode so we can just play it in our spare time. And while we're at it use my referral code, EkanaStone, and help a brother out in these trying times of trivia 🙏🏿

Played today, much fun. Was not one of the two winners, lol. It's nice that it really goes too fast to cheat by googling. I missed out because I took too long on an answer. There's no clock initially I don't think one the answer and then all of a sudden its like 3,2,1... it was a bit of a shock. Anyway, great stuff. Thumbs up.

This is so fucking smart. One of the most fun parts of Hype was Emoji game and the interactive element and this takes it to the next level. Congrats on the launch guys 😄

I am disappointed when I miss a show. That says everything right there. I look forward to the push notification.

I am extremely happy that someone finally decided to ship a product like this. It's almost like Hunger Games meets Black Mirror meets Nerve, but obviously not too that degree. I hope this will bring more people around the world together because it's entertaining af. I cannot wait to see future features and collaborations. Great job, HQ. You've reignited my love towards Product Design again.

Pros:

Almost everything. The bandwidth to sustain the livestream, the real time play, the fact I'm learning fun and random facts, the incentives.

Cons:

The live chat—not enough real estate for it and it just looks like poison for the epileptic.

What a hot mess! Was looking forward to trying this today, at one point over 148,000 participating in the 3pm contest but sadly the app totally buckled under the pressure. Just kept getting the loading icon, every once in awhile a still of the "live" host, was only able to answer one question. Not ready for prime time. IMHO they should limit signups while they work out the kinks.

It certainly is innovative but gets kinda old after awhile...They need to change it up.
