If you're planning to say this is tough, yeah, I already know. When testing the game myself, I realized you're going to need the maximum time. The good news is the more answers you get, the easier the remainder becomes.
I've been trying to figure out a unique form of a music quiz that is based on tracks from a common album, and this is what I eventually came up with. The "Combination Lock" analogy, I think, may have legs. People get the idea. You need to enter 3 numbers to "unlock" the answer. I can see it applying to other quizzes. Cities within a country. Movies by director. Starting rotations on 2011 baseball teams. Basically, any relationship where there's a 1:n mapping. (One country, multiple cities; One team, multiple players; etc.) It won't work on 1:1 or m:n mappings (e.g. actors to movies). Well, at least I can't make it work. Maybe you can.
If you plan on doing your own COMBINATION LOCK quiz, go ahead. I won't cry foul. One thing to be aware of is that you don't want people to just be able to enter the displayed answer, rather than getting the combination. For example, if you try to enter "Thriller", you won't get credit for the 3 Thriller tracks. I've put some "special characters" in the answer that make it difficult for players to cheat. You'll need to do the same. |
