Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Basically it's trying to solve a Wordle against the clock and against the host. Decent gameplay, but it's too easy to cheat/manipulate by having two people/devices on hand. Whether that's allowed or not it's kinda irrelevant. People are going to do it and how will the ether-judges decide whether someone got lucky or is a fraud? Scoring system is not well balanced. We can have three words solved vs one for the host, and we could behind him in total points. We don't think live game show style trivia could exist here in a Chat gpt era. So overall, it's good to see Scott back, but it's trying a little too hard to recapture some of that early HQ magic. We'll keep playing and maybe they'll hit on something to improve it, but we won't be religious about it like we were with HQ.
Like Wordle but youre on the clock and you could win some money.
It is so much fun to play with others in a live game show again. Its a lot of fun and a good brain teaser.
QuizDaddy is back! Its a blast. Hilarious host, addictive and fun game.
So happy to have these regular trivia / word games in our life again. It was so fun at the height of HQ where everyone was playing at once across the world. Hope Savvy gets back there again!! Wishing y'all the best Scott + tech team.
This is such a fun app! It reminds us of our childhood in the 90s, waiting for this TV show that you cant miss otherwise you wont see it again.
Would be five stars once lag is solved. Keep up the good work. We will play again.
Word games are awesome and Scott makes them 1000 times better.
This app is so much fun! Ive missed the live game shows of the 2010s and this app delivers on the best of those. Not only is Quiz Daddy back, but theres also new features that reward you just for playing the game! So even if you dont walk away with the money (no prize splitting here), you can still walk away with something. Excited to see how Savvy grows from here but theyre off to a promising start.
So glad to have Scott and team back on our screen. How has it been 7 years?! Only complaint is ONCE A WEEK?? Need this daily.
Just had the first beta game. Game worked wonderfully! Fun word game with easy gameplay. But, Scott is better than youd think. Cant wait to play more next week.
Great to see Scott back and enjoy the spin on the previous game.
Scott is amazing and this was a lot of fun.
Rogowsky is back.. This is not a drill.
We are so excited for this app!! Been on the waitlist for a couple of months, and now its live! From the previews Ive seen its like Hq Trivia meets wordle and theyre giving out money to winners like HQ did! Scott Rogowski is hosting again too.
