Once per day, you’ll get the chance to answer 10 multiple choice questions about the midterms, current events and very important facts about democracy like in what 1980’s vampire movie Kiefer Sutherland played POTUS. Get every question right and you’ll win cash from the daily jackpot, split with the other winners (#winning)! Get every question wrong and you probably don’t know anything about the United States, so we’re glad you’re here.
How it works:
* Join the game every day when you get a push notification
* Answer 10 funny trivia questions while the clock counts down!
* Win real cash by answering all 10 questions right.
* Winners split the daily jackpot of $1K to $5K—and sometimes more!
* Got a question wrong? Embarrassing—but you can keep playing to win if you have extra lives.
* No lives left? Now you're in Dead Mode. You won't be able to win today's prize, but answer correctly to earn lives for the next game.
* Get bonus lives by signing up for election reminders, inviting friends, and completing weekly challenges. If only a political comeback were that easy!
Why did Full Frontal make this game? To get people excited about the midterms, maybe even excited enough that they’ll go out and vote! America's typical midterm election turnout SUCKS and we are 100% certain this game will solve everything. We want America to learn facts, register to vote, and get involved in the U.S. election process. Isn’t that beautiful? Don’t answer. We know it is.
All civic-minded people are required by law to play the game for a chance to win a cash prize. Non-civic-minded people are also encouraged to play. See you in the game!

Fun and challenging!

They seem to have worked out the bugs. It’s fun to play, not too easy, and successful at gamifying civic engagement. Thanks, Sam, for tricking us into being good citizens! Now, how do I get that “Gametown” song out of my head??
Fun but hard to remember to play

It should offer a reminder be added to the calendar or an alarm other than the app’s notifications. Feeling justified in my up first and npr politics podcast listening.

This is great fun, and a lighthearted trivia review of the SAD state of the world.
Fabulous fun!

What great fun. Just hard enough to actually be fun. Every day I ALMOST get there...7 right... 8 right... 9 right... today I actually won money! Sixty cents! Now I can retire! Fun!
Lots of fun

My only gripe is about the interface: I can’t change my answer once it’s selected. There’s not a lot of time to change an answer, but sometimes, I have wanted to after a “mis-tap”.
Fun!!

Fun and educational! Even if you aren’t winning you’re still learning and keeping updated on current politics. I do enjoy Samantha Bee’s comedy and I agree that “This is NOT a game!!”

The questions are about current politics and it’s a lot of fun to see how well you’re keeping up with the news. It’s not geared for my age group—I’m 89–but I’m having a good time with it. Science Sara
Works as intended

I’ve never had any problems with the app. I like this trivia app way more than the other popular ones as this one isn’t afraid to make fun of itself and everything around it. Samantha B is pretty cool too. For the reviewers who give it less than 5 due to not working with their schedule... you’re basically trying to win a dollar. You’re likely doing something more important than making a dollar, so it’s okay, I promise.
