HQ Trivia sees multiple glitches in live contests

HQ Trivia has been drawing more than a million players to its live trivia events, but tonight it discovered that could be a bad thing. The live mobile game experienced multiple glitches on Tuesday evening that forced the company to redo its live contests twice.

Normally, HQ Trivia does its contests once a day. But on Tuesday, the first game had problems. I arrived too late for that game and skipped it. Later on Tuesday, the game came back as a redo. Scott Rogowsky, the host of the zany trivia show, apologized the earlier glitch and started a new game.
