HQ Trivia, the biggest iPhone game of 2017, has delayed the release of its Android app
iTunes
- HQ Trivia was supposed to release its Android app in time for Christmas, but it didn't.
- Android users can now "pre-register" for the app, but there's still no word on a release date.
HQ Trivia, the hottest iPhone game of 2017, previously said it would release an Android version in time for Christmas. It even changed its Twitter bio earlier this month to "Coming for Android this Christmas."
But Christmas came and went, and there's still no HQ Trivia app for Android.
Now, the company says you can "pre-register" for the HQ Trivia app for Android over on the Google Play store, but there's no word on an actual release date. HQ Trivia did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the app's release date for Android.
HQ Trivia, for those unfamiliar, is a free app for your smartphone that holds a "live trivia game show" twice a day, at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET. Hundreds of thousands of people log into the game at those times to watch a host - usually comedian Scott Rogowsky - ask 12 multiple-choice trivia questions. If you get all 12 questions right, you win or split a predetermined pot of money with other winners, which can be hundreds or thousands of dollars in cash. If you lose one question, you're out of the game, but you can still watch the remainder of the show.
The game itself is simple and fun, but the concept - watching a live trivia game show with friends, twice each day - has become a phenomenon in its own right, and earned a spot on our "best games of 2017" list.
