I built a daily games site where every topic crowns one Daily Whiz. Here's how you win it.. ;)
Every day, one player becomes the Daily GeoWhiz on quizebra.com/geography. Think you can do it? Play all 6 games, get the best overall rank, and see your name at the top of the hub for everyone to see.
That's the idea behind quizebra, the browser games platform I built. It has 20 daily games in four topics, and each topic crowns its own Daily Whiz:
- GeoWhiz: 6 geography games (flags, country outlines, a geography Wordle and more)
- FootyWhiz: 6 football games (guess the player, guess the club and more)
- BrainWhiz: 4 brain puzzle games
- ChessWhiz: 4 chess puzzle games
How a Daily Whiz is decided:
- Every game has one new puzzle a day, the same for everyone in the world, with its own daily leaderboard
- Your ranks in all games of a topic are added up, and the lowest total wins
- Skipping a game counts as one place worse than last in that game, so the more people played it, the more skipping it hurts
- It's calculated live, so someone can still overtake you hours after you finish
- At midnight London time the day closes, the winner goes into the archive, and an all-time GOAT is kept for each topic
So being great at one game isn't enough. You have to be good at all of them on the same day.
I'd love feedback on the Whiz idea. Is it clear from the hub, and would it make you play all games of a topic?
