Mobile game show HQ Trivia today announced a few new in-app social features designed to make the game more enjoyable with friends. While the app has brought co-workers, family members, and friend groups together in real life, not everyone has a core group to play with at the 3PM and 9PM match times, at least not every day. So HQ is adding a new feature called “Friends on HQ,” launching today in the UK with a US launch soon, to let you connect with friends, see who’s actively playing in any given game, and compare high scores and wins.

According to TechCrunch, an HQ spokesperson says “this update forms the basis of a variety of new features that HQ will be rolling out soon, leveraging friends’ connections.” We don’t know what form those new features will take, but it’s not farfetched to imagine HQ launching group games, in the vein of pub trivia, or figuring out ways to incentivize people to play by encouraging friendly competition.
