Swagbucks LIVE

I love Swagbucks Live! The trivia game is short, only 10 questions, so if you’re busy, you don’t need to worry about investing a lot of time. The games are free to join, with one chance given per game to rejoin, if you get a question wrong and are eliminated. A rejoin does cost you money in the form of Swagbucks, and the amount it costs is determined by how far into the game you are, when you’re eliminated. If you do rejoin and then get another question wrong, you can’t rejoin again. You can and should play through to the end of the game, however, because you can earn additional Swagbucks, which you have to claim at the end of the game to keep. Overall, it’s a great game and an easy way to “earn” a few dollars. I’ve added a breakdown of the game details below: Game schedule: Mon - 2 games, one at 7pm EDT and the second at 8pm EDT (1st game super easy - 2nd game a bit more challenging) Tues-Thurs - 1 game at 8pm EDT Average game length: 10-15 minutes Glitches: Yes. It can be annoying sometimes; but almost without exception, it hasn’t kept me from playing or earning Swagbucks. Mostly, it’s issues with lag times, but there’s generally enough time to get the answer in before the 10 second buzzer. If time runs out and an answer wasn’t selected, you will have to rejoin to continue playing for the jackpot (either $500 or $1000 shared with other winners). If you’re only playing for Swagbucks, you don’t have to rejoin.

I love Swagbucks, and I really love this game. It’s trivia with multiple choice answers. Simple enough, right? Whether or not you get all ten questions right and split the grand prize, the best part is knowing you will not have played in vain. There are always bonus Swagbucks to be earned just for sneering a question correctly even if you miss some along the way and ultimately don’t win a piece of the grand prize. The only thing I would ask to improve is to limit the comments. They are getting out of hand and unnecessary. But the biggest thing is allowing players who mistakenly hit an answer and would like to change it, allowing them to do so before the time is up. That would be huge! We all hit answers we wish we could change. Bonus would be making this game happen every day, including weekends!!! Those are my only issues! Other than that, all is well! And I will keep playing!

I’ve been playing this game for quite some time now and I would say at the very least at least once a week the answers to questions are EXTREMELY questionable. For example a question today asked which species is classified as endangered, the answer was Chimpanzee but one of the other answers was Gorilla. Technically speaking, gorilla is not incorrect as their are species of gorilla such as the Mountain Gorilla that are classified as endangered. Specification in answer choices is a necessity. Another example today the question asked which of these three foods are vegan and the answer was Bac’n bits, this would in technicality be a proper noun and could be considered as pieces of bacon otherwise. The first letter of the first word was capitalized, but I’m pretty sure that’s the format for all the questions. The first letter of the second word was not capitalized which could very well be small pieces of bacon. Other than that the games pretty fun but don’t expect to get much more than $10 if you get to the end.

I noticed my battery was draining something terrible. Takes out 25% of battery for the 15 min game which could be substantially shorter if the hosts would stop trying to be funny. At the end of each question they are supposed to reveal the answer but half the time it is hard to tell as answers don’t always show up due to glitches and the commentators are busy confusing you with BS bad jokes. Once the group of people playing hits 18k, the app starts glitching. When nearing 23k participants, frequent glitches & freezing. Almost missed answering questions because of this. Time for answering questions should be amended to after the question and answers are read. Recently the commentators were still reading the questions when the timer ended. Last, app is not accessible for certain disability groups.

This game is unlike any other live trivia game out there. It gives you way more chances to earn money than other trivia games currently on the app store. However I have been experiencing some issues with how much time I have to answer each question and what it says on the actual timer. So as I am playing the game, sometimes, even on wifi that works for basically everything else, the game lags a bit and falls behind 2 to 4 seconds. The person hosting the game does not fall behind and the timer for the question does not adjust, so basically I have no idea how much time I have left. This has caused me to lose because the question ends when the timer still has 3 sec left. I know this is not an issue that is just happening to me because I have seen people in the live game chat say the question ended early or it wouldnt let them answer. Please fix this and I'll leave a better rating and share this with more friends!
