HQ Trivia’s new social feature, called ‘Friends on HQ,’ is now available in Canada and the U.S.
The update is being gradually pushed out so if it hasn’t hit your device yet it should soon. The feature first launched in the U.K. a few weeks ago but now seems to be rolling out to additional regions.
Today we launched “Friends on HQ”, a new way to see which of your friends are playing HQ with you, if they’re still in the game, & their overall stats ?
You can add friends via their HQ username or your contact book ?

Sliding to the left, in-app when a live game is available, reveals anyone you’ve added to your friend list, along with other players currently in the game. You’re also able to view how many games they’ve played, their wins and the furthest they’ve made it in a single match.
HQ Trivia is a live trivia game that asks players 12 skill testing questions for the chance to win a cash prize. Winnings are then automatically deposited into your connected PayPal account.
There is a common thread among these tweets that will tell you about a special surprise we have tomorrow… who can figure it out first?

HQ Trivia reportedly has plans to launch other social features in the future, including sharing photos of your disappointed face in-app when you get that third really easy question wrong.
There are also rumours that Robert De Niro may co-host the next episode of HQ trivia –April 18th at 3pm EST — following Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s guest appearance in the app last week.
