HQ Trivia was a viral mobile app sensation that launched in 2017, featuring live trivia hosts like Scott Rogowsky who awarded real cash prizes. The meme culture surrounding the app grew from its intense high-stakes environment and the humorous, high-energy delivery of the 'Quiz Daddy' himself. Memes typically parody the interface of the game, replacing the actual trivia questions with relatable life struggles or controversial opinions that lead to the 'Eliminated' screen. While the app's popularity fluctuated over the years, the template remains a favorite for depicting social gatekeeping, difficult choices, and the collective frustration of failing a simple task.
