Game shows are now more accessible than ever! People now have the ability to play a game show from the comfort of wherever they may be . HQ Trivia was the first to utilize the concept of a game show with a mobile app that allowed anyone to play and win real money. HQ has recently been challenged by another slightly different app called Cash Show.
Whats the difference between the two?
Well, HQ Trivia was the first of the two trivia gameshow applications. HQ asks players twelve questions ranging from easy to nearly impossible. If you answer all twelve questions correctly, you split the prize with anyone else who wins. Typically a number of people win so the $2,500 prize gets divided into $10 pieces. The only way to win money on HQ Trivia is to answer all twelve questions correctly.
This is where Cash Show differs…
Cash Show, at first glance, looks like a copy of HQ Trivia; however, it is a little different. Both HQ Trivia and Cash Show consist of twelve trivia questions. HQ Trivia only rewards players a cash prize if they answer all twelve questions correctly. Cash show rewards players after every question that they answer correctly after question four. So it would seem like it would be easier to win money playing Cash Show… Right?
Is it Easier to Win Money on Cash Show or HQ Trivia?
Even though the game Cash Show rewards more money than HQ Trivia, it is hard to actually get your hands on it. The first question that rewards money is usually worth $100. So if you were the only person to get it right you’d get the easiest $100 you ever earned. However, there are usually well over 50,000 people that answer correctly which makes the payment less than one penny. If the payment is less than one penny, the reward is not given.
As the game progresses more people drop out and the value of the questions go up. This is where people start making money. By the time you get to the questions that will really make you money, the questions have gotten to the point where you must be extremely knowledgable on a given subject to know the answer; in other words, the questions are hard. Most people have started guessing.
Are The Questions on Cash Show Harder than HQ Trivia?
The questions on both HQ Trivia and Cash Show are equally challenging. Although it seems like it is harder to win money on HQ Trivia, when you do win you will usually get more than when you win Cash Show. If you are only interested in getting the most questions right overall, the questions on Cash Show are a bit easier than the questions on HQ Trivia. It is also easier to win some money on Cash Show because you have less questions so difficult you have to guess. At the same time, it is harder to win a lot of money.
