I’m fascinated by how HQ uses push notifications and regular time slots to enable live audience participation — which is central to the experience. The difference between Facebook Live/Periscope and HQ Trivia, is that audience participation isn’t a nice to have, it’s an integral part of the content.

“There’s a point-of-view live, where you’re experiencing something through someone else’s phone, and then there’s this idea of interactive video, where the audience is actually a key component of driving the content,” he said. “I became really interested in the latter and saw there was a real absence in the market of that sort of experience.”

The magic of HQ Trivia comes down to live audience participation, at scale, synchronously.
