Glitch: The Rise and Fall of HQ Trivia

2023NR89 min

In August 2017, Vine founders Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll launched their latest venture: the mobile game show app HQ Trivia. Hosted by once-struggling stand-up comic Scott Rogowsky, the global viral sensation drew millions daily to its frenetically fun challenges, allowing users to tune in live and compete for real cash prizes. But the app’s rocket-like success quickly descended into jealousy, corporate clashes, and, eventually, a tragic death. Directed by Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Salima Koroma, Glitch: The Rise and Fall of HQ Trivia offers a glimpse into the drama, destruction, and dysfunction that toppled a would-be tech empire, telling the story of a start-up that epically crashed and burned.
