HQ trivia isn't easy to win, but we just uncovered a secret that might help.

A tipster sent us instructions to a hidden cheat this morning, and it's really simple. Like, really, reallysimple. Here's how to do it:

SEE ALSO:Our office played HQ Trivia together. Here's what we think of it.

Step 1. Open the HQ trivia app. Well, no, download the app if you haven't yet, and then open it. (Please use my referral code "kerrymflynn" if you're a first-time user.)

Step 2.Place two fingers on the screen and swipe up really fast over and over.

Step 3. Feel #blessed with your free extra life.

Reminder: You can't win off an extra life. And you can only use one extra life per game.

Sorry Android users, the app is still available for iPhones only. You'll be able to play next week, hopefully.

For now, iPhone users, get ready for the weekday game at 3 p.m. ET.

We'll see you there.
