After hearing the news yesterday that HQ Trivia was flawed and sudden, owner Matt Richards paid $ 5 in his pocket for his final show to have some kind of prize for the stuck-out audience until the end.
He then drew their last audience and threatened to crash into the homes of all the trolls in conversation. “Not a lie. This sucks. This is the ultimate HQ! ”He shouted.
Before the app opened to the good, Richards and her colleagues, Anna Roisman – both unemployed and, ipso facto, intoxicated – showed us exactly what it looks like to give zero fuck. HQ Trivia goodbye game. It was glorious. (And, ironically enough, somehow apropos to its drunken husband).
The hosts swear by it all the time, ask viewers to hire them, talk about the fledgling company online, hear about the shortage of HQ Trivia, and try hard not to cry. Only 523 viewers won, despite two clarifications for answers immediately after each question. That adds up to $ 0.0096 each.
You can check out the full video below. Some of my favorite quotes include:
- Richards: "People don't want HQ to be closed off from the conversation. Me and I, my moms."
- Roisman, while making the headline: “Someone hired me! I'm talented! ”
- Roisman: “You know we laughed because we had alcohol but I cried inside. . . ”
- Richards: "It should have been a long time ago."
In case you missed it, yesterday HQ Trivia revealed it was broken, laid off its full staff of 25, and closed the shop after having the last hour's chance when the buyout was over. The once-viral trivia app that used to have millions of players die for its daily prize pools, but arriving in 2018 – just one year after it was released – that success erased the popular HQ Trivia thanks, the departure of its real chief, a an unpleasant new system of points, and a a healthy dose by inner turmoil.
But, yes, at least they can say they have one hell of a post.
