How to Win HQ Like a Professional Quiz
I have a lot more respect for HQ quiz ( iOS and Android ) after reading this analysis by professional quiz writer Paul Paquet . I also feel more ready to win after reading his tips.
Paquet has written quizzes for Encarta, QuizUp, Uncle John’s Bath Reader, and Trivial Pursuit , and has run a league of pub quizzes. He praises the substantive issues at headquarters, noting the extreme severity they have to face.
He has also won hundreds of dollars playing HQ, which is enough to make it to the leaderboard. He admits that his experience in the little things gives him an edge, but he also has a trick for all of us:
Especially in the area of ​​questions six through ten, if you are guessing at random anyway … pick whichever you think is the least likely. This is often what they are doing now: in that middle block, they will have what they call the Wild Question when the people who went with the most likely opportunity turn out to be wrong.
This is a fun interview for HQ fans or anyone interested in how quizzes look from the other side. Read it right after you use this tip in today’s 3 O’clock game.
