For those that don't know.

Download the app, answer 12 questions and share £1000 during the week or £8000 on a sunday night if you win.

I've managed to get as far as question 7 before something obscure comes up and a random guess from the multiple choice answers i get completely wrong.

How far has everyone else got?

Ive managed to get to the end and win a whole £1.20. I needed an extra life and had just read about the topic for the final question. Normally I go out around q6.

I used to play, gave it up a couple of months back now - managed to amass a mighty £12.30(ish) in winnings

I've not managed to go all the way, but that is a bit disappointing to hear when you win.

Over the past couple of days i've lost interest partly because i can usually only get 6 correct and partly the annoyance from the presenters. "it's shout out timerolleyes "

I'm downloading this to have a look.

How do they monetise it?

I play it with the sound off, as I can't stand all the 'shout outs' from the presenters and with the comments turned off also, as they appear to be typed by idiots.

Seems the prize money has gone up and so has the number of players

Was only £500 a few months ago, and there would only be a handful of winners so if you got all the way you'd get something over £75 most of the time. Not that I ever did, best was getting to Q11 and then not having an extra life for the last question, which I did know, and would have split with only one other person.

Not sure exactly how they monetise it but the company obviously does advertising elsehwere. Not long ago they had Dwayne Johnson doing a version with a $100,000 prize fund!
