Finally won last night after months of trying.

Mondays are now movie trivia btw. Reached the final question on Monday, feels like that's the best shot to win.

I just won the Office themed HQ Words game with a total time of 100 seconds. The top guy was 39 seconds, for an average of under 4seconds per puzzle! How is that even possible?

Re: HQ Trivia (iOS / Android)

That's absurd, my screen isn't even responsive enough to get one word done in under 4 seconds.

I won the Super Bowl Bacon-based HQ last month, the only question I wasn't entirely sure of was the six degrees of Kevin Bacon one at the end (I guessed it right). Didn't get the free burgers though

I don't even play Words anymore because it's impossible for me. And yeah, I would type an answer in immediately and still could never get a time as low as 4 seconds.
I do have 3 regular HQ wins, though.

A good read on the terrible CEO and Scott Rogowsky's departure. I haven't played in weeks, so I finally uninstalled the app.

Re: HQ Trivia (iOS / Android)

I quit playing months ago. I wanted the games to start on time. Hosts yammering on for 5-10 minutes at the beginning and doing tons of shout outs really turned me off on the game....

Re: HQ Trivia (iOS / Android)

I still play (up to 7 wins now, 1 being sports), but am starting to get tired of the constant technical issues and how most of the games are 15 question affairs now. And Words is fucking impossible.

I actually started playing more regularly lately since I found out they added seasons, but they are incredibly dishonest with the push notifications. Question 1 starting now, and I open the app and they're at least 5 minutes away from it. It's very close to me uninstalling due to the annoyance of just wanting to play the game and not being able to.

Re: HQ Trivia (iOS / Android)

I am considering uninstalling due to me being a sore loser (I have only been up to question 10 one time) and their now constant notifications. I liked having one notification reminding me a game is coming up but now they are sending 4 or 5 before the game finally starts. Hell, I still get them even if I am in the app. And if I turn off the notifications, I will just forget to ever play.

So yeah...they are pushing me out the door.

I feel the same. I'm on the brink.

Re: HQ Trivia (iOS / Android)

I won the Smarturday game Saturday night and last night I ran out of time with one letter left on the last puzzle on Words. I'll never get the close to winning again, only reason I did last night because of the movie theme.

My notifications are off too for the same reasons stated here. I still liked the themed nights but I don't need all the damn notifications.

Scored $2.52 in the Pokemon game the other night, which was more than I had won for all the other games combined...

Finally uninstalled the app. They were hitting me with reminders even when I had all games unsubscribed.

I guess the one bright side to this for the players is the prize amount per person should grow now with people jumping ship.

It was bound to happen, but it was a cool experiment.
