Beginning Quote by Scott Rogowsky
“Since the beginning of HQ Trivia, when only 48 people logged in, the chat section was lighting up with comments such as 'This is so cool!' So, we hooked those early users with alluring graphics and sound, a fast-paced test of wits, interactivity with a live and entertaining host, and the lure of winning free money.”
