Most fun you can have at 6pm on the toilet

Seriously gets your insides moving while your brain works overtime. Miss HQ? Then don’t miss Savvy Live as you try to solve seemingly simple word puzzles that will baffle your mind as you reach for your 2 ply. Scott brings the puns and the occasional cohost bring everything from hilarity to eye candy. Don’t miss out on being part of the beginning of the next world wide live game show! Get it now! (well… finish your business and then download it. I’ll look away. Go ahead. No seriously, I’m not looking. …. Whoah wait… you stand first??!! What is wrong with you!?!)

Love this game show

This is a fun and entertaining.

Win real money!

Awesome free game. Scott is the best host! Hilarious and fun to play

..

Would be fun if the app actually worked once the game starts

Scott for LIFE

I want to have his babies!

Reward Change

App is pretty fun if you like word games and winning money except you can no longer win money so the whole game is pointless you can just go play wordle bring back the rewards that are exciting sparks will kill the game

Lost and wasted potential

I’ve played since this game was in Beta, had my unrealized cash winnings in their “piggy bank” (some of which were offered as thanks for being a beta player), and have seen this game continually go downhill in nearly every aspect. The scoring has gotten worse (so much so that if I’m not out preforming the host after the first round, I leave the game) and the aforementioned unrealized gains are now nonexistent and converted into a vague in-game currency with no real or even potential value.

This game is failing and it feels like the team behind it is floundering to somehow make it work.

I’d rather see HQ Trivia fully brought back than play this increasingly sad game.

Pulled the rug

Took away cash prizes. RIP

Meh

Not a fan of the sparks. Beta is taking forever. They keep changing everything. Trivia was better. Maybe incorporate some trivia and bring back actually money.

Bring back the money prizes

There's no point to playing anymore. You win sparks that you can only use to buy hints, in order to help you win back a fraction of the sparks you spent on buying a hint.

No more cash prizes

Update 6/14/26: They got rid of cash prizes. Now you are playing for “sparks”. Sparks allows you to buy power-ups, etc. UGH! I CANNOT any longer recommend this game. The actual game is fun if you like Wordle BUT Scott yaps waaaaaaay too much and it’s nearly impossible to win any money. You need to be one of 3, sometimes 6 out of roughly 4000 lucky people randomly selected at the end of the game to collect. Most recently they started to reduce the amount of winners to 3 for some reason, not sure how that promotes growth? Also note the money in your bank expires.

the latest game sucked. we do not need sparks and scott is a hobo. he leaked the answers too

sucked, it just sucked

Had potential

Savvy had so much potential when it first launched. The nightly games were active, competitive, and actually fun. There was a real incentive to play because you could win real prizes, and the community seemed engaged.

Then everything started going downhill.

Games that used to run every night became once a week, if that. The player base clearly dropped off, and instead of fixing the core issues, Savvy removed most of the actual winnings and replaced them with a weird in-game currency called “Sparks.” Now you’re expected to spend those Sparks on gimmicks like bombs and letter reveals that nobody asked for.

It feels like the entire reward system was gutted. The excitement of competing for real prizes was replaced with grinding for virtual currency that has little actual value. From the outside looking in, it honestly feels like the company was hemorrhaging money and couldn’t sustain the original model, so they pivoted to pushing in-game mechanics instead.

The result is a game that barely resembles what made it popular in the first place. What started as a unique and entertaining trivia experience has become another mobile game filled with artificial currencies and watered-down rewards.

I wanted Savvy to succeed, but in its current state, it’s a shell of what it once was. Disappointing.

Out of money?

Scoring changed and now they barely give any actual money for people to win. App barely works half the time so dev team isn’t getting anything done. Will be shuttered by the end of the year.

So fun!

This game is super fun and I love that it’s live!

Glitchy

How can someone win when nobody got a keyboard?

Notifications need fixed!

It’s really fun to be in on the ground floor of this, and I like that if I join late I can still play. However, it’s pretty frustrating that the notifications are completely silent and don’t even vibrate despite me having that option turned on and even deleting and reinstalling the app. If I happen to look down at my lock screen I might see the notification banner, but otherwise I miss out on joining in on time.

LOVE!!

This app is so much fun. I love the host, Scott, and I love playing live against him and the other players. There are often guests who join Scott and we play against them which is fun too. Such a great concept

Great fun with super entertaining host!

I've really enjoyed seeing Scott reenter the game show all world! The game is fun and Scott's antics are entertaining. I'm a regular player and look forward to seeing how Savvy evolves.

Not as good as the trivia

I’m gonna be real here. The trivia game ran by this host many years ago was much more fun because there were higher stakes and you actually had more chances to win free money. While this game is mildly fun it makes it so even if you win you’re not guaranteed anything. You need to basically hope you’re “randomly” selected at the end to win. They gotta fix that or people are going to eventually get bored and leave when they never win despite beating the host. I’ll end with this. HQ despite all its flaws pulled you in due to the potential reward. They should go back to that in some fashion.
