One of the most popular new iPhone games of the last year is set to take over your living room.

HQ Trivia, the popular mobile trivia game that offers cash prizes to participants, is making the leap from the small screen to the big one with a new Apple TV app that launched this week.

The company announced its move to Apple TV on Twitter. The app is already available to download from the Apple TV App Store.

Gameplay for the TV version of HQ Trivia is just like the smartphone version. Contestants are asked a series of questions with four possible answers. Get it right, and you’re still in the running for the cash prize. Answer wrong, and you must be content with watching others win.

Players on the Apple TV app can watch the daily quiz show and vote on answers using the Apple TV remote.

With an audience of hundreds of thousands of daily participants, HQ Trivia’s move to Apple TV could be a big boost for the platform’s games and give HQ Trivia more players. The app has already been downloaded over 12.5 million times on iOS and Android. Growth of the appears to have slowed a bit though. After being downloaded 2 million times in February, HQ Trivia was only downloaded an estimated 560,000 times in July.
