From 2017 to 2019, New York comedian Scott "Quiz Daddy" Rogowsky hosted HQ Trivia, a popular app-based game show where participants answered increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions. Each day, hundreds of thousands of fans took part in hopes of splitting a jackpot of sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars—but soon after, the fad collapsed. Now, eight years since Rogowsky first auditioned for HQ Trivia, the brokerage Robinhood is bringing Rogowsky back to host its own game show.
After markets close on Wednesday, users of Robinhood’s app will receive a notification inviting them to play a game called "Robinhood Trivia Live." Like HQ Trivia, players will answer increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions, and those who correctly answer all 12 will split a prize pool of $1 million in Bitcoin. The game show will repeat on Thursday for members of Robinhood Gold, the company’s paid subscription service. Winners will again split $1 million in Bitcoin, but all participants will receive an undisclosed gift of Dogecoin.
