For the next five nights from Feb. 22 through Feb. 26, you can log in and take part. But you must be at least 18 and live in the U.S. to play.
According to TechCrunch, there will be two live, hour-long trivia sessions starting Wednesday. The first session will begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time with the second immediately following at 9 p.m. Winners of the 8 p.m. session will split a $30,000 reward while winners of the 9 p.m. session get a cut of a $70,000 jackpot. On Saturday and Sunday, TikTok will put up even more money with "Survival Rounds," with TechCrunch reporting the questions will get more difficult as contestants keep playing.

To win, TikTok says players must answer all of the questions correctly in a given round. The cash prize will vary depending on the round played. TechCrunch says the questions will be multiple choice and will fall into several categories, including lifestyle, beauty, sports, music, and of all things, John Wick. Why John Wick? TikTok Trivia is sponsored by Lionsgate and the upcoming film, "John Wick Chapter 4."
