Jackpots tend to be from $1,000 to $5,000 on weekdays, whereas weekend jackpots can go up to $50,000, and special shows can get it up to as much as $400,000. [[note]]This was a 2018 NBA Finals promotion that started with a $100,000 pot for Game 1, and each game adding another $100,000. The Finals finished with a 4-game sweep, but could potentially have gone all the way to $700,000.[[/note]] This money is split among every player who manages to [[AllOrNothing get every question right]], [[NintendoHard which is no small feat.]]
One of the biggest draws to the game is its [[GameShowHost host]], the energetic Scott Rogowsky. Occasionally, [[GuestHost other hosts]] will take Scott's place. Matt Richards permanently replaced Rogowsky in 2019. Richards regularly filled in when Rogowsky was unavailable.

On February 14, 2020, it was announced that the app would immediately cease operations after its primary investors had stopped funding the company and a potential sale of HQ to an "established business" fell through. A final episode of HQ After Dark was aired that night, hosted by Matt Richards and Anna Roisman. The show ended with Richards showering Roisman and himself with a large bottle of champagne. The final payout was between $0.00–$0.01 per player, split between just over 500 players, as $5 was the final jackpot prize, which Richards said he paid for out of his own pocket.
On February 18, 2020, it was announced on Twitter that a tentative deal with an unspecified company to purchase the HQ franchise had been made, thus allowing it to continue in the near future. HQ resumed operations on March 28th, though with drastically reduced prize pools.
