Hey PH!
A few months ago we created HQuack – a website that predicted HQ Trivia answers in real time. The site went viral, and HQ Prizes began to hit new lows ($0.28). After some reflection and a call from Rus Yusupov, HQ’s CEO, we agreed that taking HQuack down was the right thing to do.
Throughout this crazy experience, we began to realize that while live game shows were engaging and fun, trivia was alienating to so many people who don't know random facts about everything. So, my cofounder Jonny and I decided to build our own.
It’s called MajorityRules, and it’s not your ordinary game show. We ask users 10 subjective questions, and their goal is to try and predict what the most popular answer will be. For example, we might ask, "Name a food that people often purchase at the movie theater". Everyone who enters the most popular answer, in this case “popcorn”, will move on to the next question. If they predict the top answer to all 10 questions correctly they win or split the prize money.
Since we released MajorityRules, we’ve seen some awesome growth and engagement. We launched in closed beta ~ 2 months ago, and within a month we were lucky enough to hit the 15th spot on the Apple App Store for Trivia Apps. We are now out of beta and ready to share MajorityRules with the world. We hope you enjoy it, and will be around all day if you have any questions!

Great to see the trivia game market expanding on iOS. I think this is a brilliant take on the concept. I am excited to start playing!
This game is so fun! I didn't really like HQ so I was hesitant to give this a try, but I'm glad I did. The game play is much more enjoyable. Definitely worth a download even if you don't like HQ.
It's a fun game and I think Jake + team did a great job.
Pros:
Lower barrier to entry than HQ with an incentive to keep playing even if you get out. It moves much faster than HQ which is a huge plus.
Cons:
I'm still convinced Diet Coke is the best soda no matter what the majority seems to think!

Got super excited by the concept and even more when I could download it in the App Store. Shame it only supports the US though, I’d assume it just wouldn’t be realised in the U.K. if it wasn’t for a UK audience.
Bummer 👎🏽
@jesswallaceuk sorry Jess! International support coming this week!

Entering number to download is just annoying, plus it limits you to US only. I 100% don't feel comfortable sharing my number with a random website anyway...
