Dooit Live (Review)

If you read the last one about HQ Trivia and get what that one is about, this will be a way shorter post because I won't have to explain as much. 

Closer to home, there's a similar game called Dooit Live, which only came out a few months ago. The games typically start at noon (Malaysian time) and there's push notifications to remind you. Some weeks they also have night time games, which will be announced ahead of time on their social media. Thankfully, no regular weekend games so far.

The main host is Sean Lee, who I kinda find annoying mostly because he tends to butcher words like he didn't try to practice it beforehand. But that's just me. If he really is the one singing the jingle, I mute that part. 

The 11 multiple choice questions (starts easy, gets harder) are pretty much mostly based on Malaysia-based general knowledge, history (really), and the occasional headline news. The savage questions are known as "Roadblock" questions in the app. The last question is called "Soalan Paling Gila" or SPG. 

The pot for most games varies, unless it's a special occasion or a sponsored thing, etc, which might go higher. If you do win a game, your share of the winnings will show up in your app account less than an hour after the game. The snag is the RM50 minimum to cash out. 

Extra lives are called PUSOs, which you get by (again) getting friends and family to sign up with your referral code/username (mine's @synical). Or when they announce promo codes during the games, which are mostly sponsored in some fashion. 

Personally, I've won a few games (so far about RM80 something combined on two devices), sometimes while I'm out and about. I also find that you also need to be of a certain age to know things without having to Google it. (One of the few times being #oldliao is not such a bad thing)

✖ I find the jingle (and the host) kinda annoying.
✖ Getting extra lives as a #foreveralone-r is hard. Kinda wish that they have check-in streaks.
✔ But I like that I could still change answers in the 10 seconds allocated, even if you fat fingered a wrong answer.

Psst... If you have more than one device, you can technically sign up and play as different accounts (which I do with both games, using one of my own referral codes when signing up with the other device). Just saying...
