How do you win thousands of pounds straight from your phone for free? For many, the answer is the popular quiz show app HQ Trivia.
The game came to the UK in early 2018 after being released in the US the year before.
The free app live-streams 15-minute quiz shows throughout the week to millions of viewers, with a pot of money available to split between winners.
People have taken home anything from £1.63 here in the UK to $50,000 (£36,000) in the US. The biggest UK winner so far received £8,000.
The game recently gave away its biggest jackpot – $300,000 (£214,000) – to 83 winners, with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as a guest presenter.
Answer 12 trivia-based questions correctly by tapping the answers on your phone and (a share of) the money is yours.
