Netflix Launches 'Best Guess Live,' Weeknight Mobile Game Show Hosted by Howie Mandel and Hunter March

The daily app-based show signals Netflix's latest move into live, casual gaming.

Overview

  • The live broadcast runs Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT within the Best Guess Live app and is produced from Apploff Entertainment’s Los Angeles offices.
  • Howie Mandel and Hunter March take turns hosting the weeknight games.
  • Players try to identify a secret person, place or thing from five clues with one guess per puzzle across two rounds per show.
  • Early correct answers split a cash pot, with producers citing prizes up to $15,000 per game while Netflix has only promised "thousands of dollars."
  • Coverage frames the series as a revival of the HQ Trivia-style, appointment mobile game format tied to Netflix’s broader live and casual-gaming strategy.
