Which company makes the fastest wagon

Which company makes the fastest SUV

are these questions?

For trivia

Yes

I'll be looking up the answers

since those kind of things can change, we'd want to say…..In 2015, which company….

or pick a year

You are smart

lets make a google doc with a question bank

Okay

started configuring the quiz software. Couple bugs, so I need to reach out to the developer. Mostly works though : )

was thinking about the flow of it and it is going to take some work to get it right….for example….it isn't set up like a sequential game, so I'll need to customize it somehow so it looks like you keep playing and advancing to higher levels

Like after you answer a question it doesn't go to another one?

no, it will do that….like you complete level 1

then what happens

Oh, gotcha

I dont think points are going to register until a quiz or level is complete

So while organizing questions I should organize by level AND type

yea

So as far as I can tell right now, without any further customization, the flow of the game will be….

we create a pool of questions for each level

we can set the number of questions to show up and set the pool to random so everyone won't get the same exact questions

we can set the number of points each question is worth manually, as well as the number of points depending on how quickly the question is answered

do we let players replay the level again upon completion?

to try and get a better score?

probably make sense, but will require some further customization. For example, additional points don't register unless their score is beat

I only if there are new questions

hmmm, I suppose

How many levels will there be

as many as we can possibly do

ideally we'd have thousands and thousands of questions

: )

Yay

I have 5

And 50 guess who's

the longer we can keep people on the site, the more we can throw ads for tires in their face

and then we can take that money and buy tires for our cars

oooookaaay

Seems worth it

I like tires

we can brainstorm some techniques for coming up with questions in the meeting tomorrow. Once we get into a rhythm, it shouldn't be hard to come up with a lot

I agree

so basically a player can replay the level, but only until they've seen every question or answered every question correctly once

That could fly

and we could release updates, adding questions to each level, adding new levels

Like candy crush!!!

yes?

no clue

so yea, thats some more customization. Hopefully not too many monies

at $5/hr, it would need to be pretty major to cost much

higher level question: Is a Porsche 944 built in November 1985 considered a late offset or early offset car?

we've got so much stupid esoteric knowledge, we should be able to come up with a lot

and keep it mostly related to stuff we are interested in

no mini-van trivia

no pickup truck trivia

No bronco trivia?

anything before 1979 is fair game

No raptor trivia?

ok idiot

I suppose we could also do pop-culture questions?

Yes

eg: What was Jerry's nemesis at the Puerto Rican Parade?

Maroon golf

!!

see

Top Gear questions, etc

Yup

What year stair car appears in the killed-of-too-early-show Arrested Development?

; )

86?

Three different truck cabs were used over the filming of the series, all Ford F350s. A 1978 or '79 model, a mid-1980s model, and a 1967-72 model updated with a late '70s grille.

Sooooo

soooo, its multiple choice

With f being all of the above?

What year F350 definitely did not appear in Arrested Development

78, 79, 73, 71

ha

What limited run Italian supercar did Vince drive in Season 7 of Entourage

no clue if thats the right season

It is

The super America

yesh

That is a good one

this is not difficult

just need to put in the time

and we could probably use some help

Have people submit questions?

If we wanted to start with 10 levels, 30 questions a level

300 questions

divided by 3 of us

100 questions each

50 questions a week

That can work

less than 8 questions a day

I have 50 guess who's :)

get more

Okay

what I usually do when working on stack is work until I fall asleep at my desk

then I know I've done enough ; )

Is that now?

yup

Hahahahaha

I like that

I'll start doing the same

On non wedding nights

more questions = better so if you can come up with 200 yourself, etc. I'd say do as many as you can, but we should probably have around 300 total to start

we can start stashing some for future updates too

Additional customization to let users retake the quiz but only see new questions or questions they've answered incorrectly will be another $60

Okay

Pretty cheap.
