HQ Trivia is already great at bringing friends and coworkers together IRL (usually to scream at their phones, but still). Now it's looking to facilitate connections inside the app, too.

The mobile game has announced a new feature called "Friends on HQ." Per TechCrunch, it will be available immediately to UK players, with a US launch soon to follow.

Users will be able to add "friends" inside the app, then see which of those are participating in each game. They'll also be able to see how well their friends are doing, which is sure to start some arguments. Fun!

It seems this isn't the only change on the horizon: "This update forms the basis of a variety of new features that HQ will be rolling out soon, leveraging friends’ connections," a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.

So, we can ostensibly look forward to HQ getting even more social in the updates to come. Does anyone want to split an in-app soft pretzel?
