Thanks for checking out the 4Kittens Trivia HUD System! I designed this HUD system as an aid to Trivia Hosts who want to ask their own questions, but also want to increase overall participation by eliminating annoying issues like points going to the fastest typers / trigger-happy answerers. Everyone who is part of the game can choose to answer every question if they wish, and all answers are revealed at the same time, so player knowledge is emphasized over speed or luck in the accumulation of points.
Prototype versions of this system have been tested all over the grid by many people, to heavily positive response that it is fast, easy, fun, and accomplishes its goal of opening the playing field to everyone who wants to play, not just the fastest typers.
The person wearing the Controller HUD asks questions, and players are presented with a timer countdown to track how long they have to answer the question. 5 Question modes are available, ranging from single-answer, to multiple-answer, to an unscored survey mode 'just for fun'.
The Controller HUD has many options for customization, and a template is provided for you to retexture it to your own liking. Player HUDs automatically morph to match the appearance of the Controller HUD when they join the game.
The HUD keeps track of scores automatically, and can report scores either publicly or privately at the request of the person wearing the Controller HUD.
The Controller HUD can be configured to automatically give out money and/or items to a randomly selected winner for each round, chosen from the range of people who answered the question correctly. (All players who answered correctly get points, however.)
Money per question, and the amount of time given to the players per question, can be set on the fly without notecard configuration.
Other features:
* Ability to cancel questions in progress
* Ability to undo scoring for the previously asked question
* Ability to ban or unban specific players.
* Ability to modify individual players' scores directly in the event of a mistake (a public notice will be given to keep everyone honest)
* This version handles up to 25 players.
The 4Kittens Trivia HUD System comes in two parts, the Controller HUD and the Player HUD. The Player HUD is Copy/Transfer and free to distribute. The Controller HUD is worn by the person running the game.
Please note that this system does not provide questions for you. It is a system to play the game with; you supply your own questions.
