This is anything but trivial: the popular app-based game show HQ Trivia has made it to the UK.

Now, Brits can compete for $11 winnings with regular games geared toward UK audiences. One of the game's hosts Sharon Carpenter, who is from England, will be the popular online show's host for across the pond.

The first British game kicked off Sunday. It seems like British players were into the game after months of playing the "American" version and waking up at odd hours to compete.

The game is still only available for iPhone users (though Android users should be rewarded soon), but that hasn't stopped its rising popularity. And now all that knowledge about tea, (European) football, and the royal family will come in handy.
