In a standard HQ Trivia game, which is played live every day at 9 p.m. ET and weekdays at 3 p.m. ET, contestants must correctly answer 12 questions to win. The cash prize, usually $2,500, is divided evenly among the winners.

Previously, HQ Trivia's largest jackpot was $250,000, in a game sponsored by Warner Bros. "Ready Player One" on March 28.

To take part in Wednesday afternoon's game, download the HQ Trivia app on your iPhone or Android device (if you haven't done so already) and keep your phone close. You'll get a notification about the exact time of the game and when you should open the app to play.

"Rampage," an action movie loosely based on a 1986 arcade game by the same name, hits theaters on April 20.
