About The Project

Players can create lobbies (private or public) and invite their friends to play via URL. The game involves 2 main stages: answering and betting. During the answering phase, a single player answers a trivia question. During the betting phase, all the other players will place bets hoping that the answerer got the trivia question wrong: the higher the bet, the more money they can steal from the answerer. Look below for rules and example.

Built With

Frontend:

• Next.js

Rules

Rules

Players take turns answering trivia questions.

On your turn:

1. Answer the trivia question displayed. (multiple choice)
2. All other players can place bets hoping that you answered incorrectly.
3. If their prediction was right (you got the question wrong), you will have to pay however much they betted on you.
4. However, if you proved them wrong and answered correctly, you will earn $1000 AND everyone who didn't believe in you will have to pay their bets to you!

Example

Example

It's Bob's turn to answer:

1. Bob answers the question: What is 1+1? Bob bluffs that he can't do math.
2. John believes that Bob is indeed bad at math and bets $500 that Bob will answer incorrectly.
3. No way! Bob guessed correctly and won $1000. Additionally, because John made an incorrect prediction, $500 is deducted from his balance and given to Bob!
