This is going to be huge.

Pros:

Fun. Quick.

Cons:

Not enough games. Doesn't warn you early enough

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

Very impressive. The live video is what makes the experience. Any plans to white label the app to let companies run their own game shows with customers? Would be an amazing way to engage an audience.

Really bummed out that this is iPhone-only

Would be great if there were more games each day and you could win different types of prizes. Like win an xbox, or Tesla, or $100,000.

Also, there are so many people commenting that it doesn't really make sense. Might be better to just show an explosion of multiple profile photos of the people that got a question right after the answer is given away.

When I played this game btw, I had about 4 other friends trying to help in order to win. Great word of mouth marketing established through that. Wonder if there is a way to gamify it with multiple friends within the app that way those "friends" wouldn't have to be in the same room as me, they could be helping me from their mobile app and incentivize them somehow.

The hosts are great so far! They are positive energy, say the right things, and engage the audience. I like when they mention twitter followers. I think you are on to something there from a marketing perspective but could def get more creative by shouting out influential players in the game and that have large followings or previously won games in the past. Lots you can do there.

Very impressed with the concept and execution. Well done.

Pros:

The competition with community and live stream and of course the cash prize

Cons:

Prize money is to small.

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.

So. Much. Fun. Download. Now.

Pros:

Synchronous gameplay and only last for 10 minutes, real money on the line

Cons:

Needs more instances of gameplay spread out through the day - might not be optimal for those who can't make it at 12 PM PST

This is pretty clever — gameshow meets Periscope!

Middle of the afternoon (east coast) isn't really a convenient time to try this out… Should have more times. EDIT: Got to sit in on one. Really cool app, great execution. Maybe they'll add more times throughout the day but now I see it's quite a bit of a production to put on. Unfortunately, the games are often delayed and the app frequently hits technical problems. Oh and apparently they do it twice a day. Invite code: "shim" Curious how they plan on making money though. I suppose they might incorporate ads, but more likely is the introduction of premium content, like pay to get extra lives, exclusive games (maybe with higher prizes) etc. Also given the financial incentive, and the amount of time between when the question is shown and the time limit (plus only 3 options)… it won't be long before people get really good at cheating at this game. Then again, some questions are harder to Google than others.

Only 1–2 shows per day, and times may be inconvenient depending on your location.

They should show some sort of preview or have a tutorial / computer mode where you can play previous games.

The app itself is pretty nice and when it works, the experience is seamless.

Unfortunately, the games are frequently delayed and experience technical difficulties. Plus often you put the right answer but it doesn't register.

Also, the trivia questions are not very satisfying. Who cares what company

owns Waypoint? That's not an interesting piece of knowledge.

Also apparently the founder doesn't know how journalism works.

Pros:

Fun, fresh, simple, free, and who doesn't like trivia games (and winning money maybe but probably not)

Cons:

* Not clear what it is until you reach a live show

* Some tech difficulties

* If you win, amount will probably be ~$3 unless really lucky

"CEO of HQ, the Hottest App Going: If You Run This Profile, We’ll Fire Our Host" The Daily Beast https://www.thedailybeast.com/ce... ooooh boy…

everything about this app is amazing — the concept, the implementation, the thrill of playing... i literally can't get enough of it

We basically pause work as a company to play this game.

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 love this bite-sized, interactive format for Live Video. The hosts are engaging, the questions are actually challenging. The live chat audience is hilarious and so far, I haven't seen much trolling. genius!

Pros:

Fun, bite-sized, live and interactive quiz show.

Cons:

Appointment mechanics -have to show up at the exact time every day in order to participate. If you are even late by a second, you'll miss it

This is the future. I think that companies like Snapchat have been going in the wrong direction with content: Going digital is good, but being interactive and competitive is much more important. I grew up watching a lot of game shows and wishing I could participate, so I look forward to giving this a try.

Finally joined a game for $500....The app completely messed up...The card displaying the question was invisible. I only got to answer 1 question and then I lost. Needless to say, it was incredibly aggravating....Fix the bugs!

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.

Loved the intro video and excited to play! But to sign up when there are no live games was a little anticlimactic.... is there something fun I could be doing to get a taste of whats to come? ATM in not sure if its worth waking up at 6am Australian time.

@suzywillow and I were watching Wonder Woman until I received a push notification announcing tonight's show. The appointment mechanic is refreshing, bringing a sense of togetherness and thrill as thousands of people play together. Unfortunately I only made it four questions in. 😞 About a year ago @rus launched Hype which exhibited some of the same colorful, fun branding and live video focus. While creative, I found most of the content and creators uninteresting (a common problem with most live video streaming apps). It appears the team learned a bit from Hype and narrowed their focus on a specific format (trivia game show). That said, I'm curious to hear the backstory from @rus. 😊
