Just wanted to start some discussion around this... HQ Trivia is an app based game show which has been developed by the previous owners of Vine. The app runs 2 daily shows in North America and in the UK at 3pm and 9pm, giving away prizes of a varying size to the players.
The idea behind it is pretty simple; its a quiz with 12 questions and a live presenter who reads the questions as if on a TV quiz show. The players have 10 seconds to answer the questions and if you get all 12 right you either win the prize or split it. It's already developed quite an audience with around 70k often playing the UK version despite the prizes currently being pretty low at £550 however it is free to play.
The reason I'm bringing this up? The quiz show format is pretty difficult to get right and its only every so often that we see a format which sticks (eg. The Chase, Pointless) and I feel this sort of audience participation would work well. ITV did try this sort of thing with 'Don't Ask Me, Ask Britain' but the app was mainly a gimmick with surveys at the end of each part etc. It would be interesting to see how an app based game show would work on TV and whether it would be more interesting for the audience to be the ones playing instead of watching people have the chance to win money.
