If you love coming out tops in a pub quiz with a little extra cash in your pocket, meet your new favourite app.

HQ has arrived in the UK – a trivia-based quiz app which dishes out cash prizes to the winners.

The game takes on a live game show-style format, with Sharon Carpenter presenting the UK edition.

Four games take place each week, at 3pm and 9pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.

To enter, users download the app and sign in, and any cash won can be redeemed on PayPal.

Of course, with money in the bargain, it’s not too easy to get your hands on the dosh – while the questions start off fairly easy, it quickly gets much harder.

In fact, there were no winners in the first UK game, with every contender having crashed out by question eleven. Twelve questions need to be answered correctly in order to win.

The first cash prize consisted of $500 (£368), and featured roughly 5000 players – but games in the US have seen jackpots in the region of $10,000.

HQ has become hugely popular in America, with a recent player peak of over 880,000 participants.

The HQ app is free to download now in the UK on Apple iOS and Android, but is age restricted to 17+.
