The world is a frightening, confusing place, filled with horrors, confusion and irritation.
However, WTF: Live Game Show recognizes that there are some moments worth remembering, that are worth experiencing. These are the WTF moments.
WTF: Live Game Show is a game show app that lets players compete against one another using a shared pub quiz-like experience.
Each day has a brand new quiz to play, meaning everyone plays the same quiz at the exact same time.[sc name=”quote” text=”Each day has a brand new quiz to play, meaning everyone plays the same quiz at the exact same time.”]
When you load up the game and get ready for today’s round, the screen flashes with a variety of pretty decent memes in a rolling box framework, looking very much like an elaborate relic to internet websites from 10 years.
Though this might sound off-putting, it very much gives you a feeling of intense nostalgia, of days gone by playing quiz games in your school library.
Before you can play a round, WTF: Live Game Show encourages you to try and team up with a group of friends.
The incentive for the app is obviously to encourage more users to play, but the actual benefits for the player are pretty good.
If you make a team with friends, you all have the potential to win the quiz round, as long as one person in the team is successful.
The reason you want to win, of course, is to win the cash prize.
That’s right, WTF: Live Game Show is among some of the first apps to actually offer real cash prizes for victors, creating a serious reason to actually try in these quizzes.
Each day’s questions are focused around the latest WTF moments happening in the media. However, there obviously an extremely large number of outlandish things going on each day, so the first few questions are typically extremely easy, spot the difference type questions to get you ready for the real stuff.
The timings are quite carefully laid out to ensure you don’t have time to Google each answer, or the questions themselves are otherwise unGoogleable. In this way, WTF: Live Game Show feels quite fair to play, without the usual pile of irritation associated with pub quiz type games.
The difficulty curve for the questions goes up extremely sharply after the first few, forcing you to wrack your brain oo answer today’s esoteric, obscure question before the time runs out.
In this way, it’s quite understandable that most people fail by the halfway point.[sc name=”quote” text=”In this way, it’s quite understandable that most people fail by the halfway point.”]
WTF: Live Game Show is a pub quiz for everyone, allowing people to tune in for 20 minutes a day and compete against hundreds of strangers around the world, all competing for the same cash prize.
It’s nothing innovative, but it’s always going to be fun to compete against people and try to be the most knowledgeable.
It’s not the cash you’re really looking for; it’s personal superiority over others.
