TikTok is taking a page out of HQ\u2019s playbook and launching a series of live trivia games, the company announced<\/a> today. Like the doomed trivia startup<\/a>, TikTok\u2019s trivia rounds will happen via livestream each day, and users can log in to play between February 22nd and February 26th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To entice players, TikTok is offering a $500,000 cash prize pool that\u2019s split between winners. Users must be 18 years old and in the US to participate in the multiple-choice trivia rounds, which will be livestreamed on the official @TikTok account<\/a>. Categories include lifestyle, beauty, sports, and music, according to TikTok, along with John Wick<\/em> questions (the event is sponsored by Lionsgate and its upcoming film John Wick: Chapter 4<\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Like HQ, TikTok has enlisted a live host for trivia, presumably to make the quizzes more of an event. James Henry<\/a>, a popular TikTok creator whose skits regularly go viral on the platform, will host the trivia rounds, and players will be able to interact with him, TikTok says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Though the trivia series is a step out of TikTok\u2019s usual offerings, the company has been testing and working on different ways it might use the TikTok LIVE feature to generate engagement. The company encourages<\/a> businesses and creators to go live on the app to \u201cengage with their communities\u201d and markets livestreams as a way to drive sales. It\u2019s also introduced more advanced settings for targeting, such as giving streamers the ability to limit live videos to adults only<\/a>. And the company has been trying to make livestream shopping happen<\/a> in the US after finding success with the format in China and other parts of Asia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
