Howie Mandel and Hunter March (Sugar Rush) are teaming up to cohost an all-new Netflix game show, Best Guess Live, which everyone can join in on their mobile devices for a chance to win up to $15,000.
HQ Trivia was developed in 2017 by Vine co-founders Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll, which was a daily game show you could await on your phone.
Here’s everything we know about the new HQ Trivia game.
How do you play Best Guess Live?
Best Guess Live is a weekday mobile game show where you have to outsmart the rest of America if you want a shot at the big jackpot. It is a game you can play anywhere. There are two rounds in each game, and each round has five increasingly descriptive clues as to what’s tucked away inside the crystal ball.
All you need is a Netflix account, a smartphone, and your brain. Here’s how it works.
- The crystal ball shows off a secret item
- You’ll get five clues that build on the previous to help you submit your best guess
- After each clue, you’ll have 20 seconds to type your answer into your phone
- You only have one chance to win each round, so be careful of the typos and make sure your spelling is correct because the answer has to be exactly right
- However, the puzzles are not case sensitive, so capital letters do not matter
- If you get it wrong, you’re out, but only for that round
- Everyone who answers what’s in the crystal ball correctly — on the earliest clue — shares the jackpot.
- If you’re the only one who answers correctly, you get the entire jackpot
- After the final clue is revealed, Howie or Hunter will work back from the last clue to determine who answered correctly — and the earliest
The second round features a bigger prize pot, so don’t worry, you get another chance. But the second round will be harder.
