I kind of wish HQ would go away. I know that's mean to say however it's really a rather buggy app and the game it's self is only marginally fun. Having to deal with questions not working, the host droning on, the app freezing or stream crashing makes the experience even less enjoyable. Additionally, the prize money is going to have to increase if prize is going to be more than a few $ as they keep getting bigger. Even 10k when split between a few hundred or a few thousand people gives you a pretty minimal reward. I wonder at what point the creators are going to start pivoting to advertising to start underwriting their gameshow.

Also, there's probably already Watsonesque bots out there to ruin the party.

I’ve prototyped such a bot. See my submissions for the blog post.
Another dev and a HN user, stervy, built something similar and was able to get around 80% accuracy on old gameplay.
