So it hit me after @natator88 and I survived round 1 of @papa-pepper survival game season 2. This is a lot of fun. I had the idea, some time ago, of writing a choose-your-own adventure story that I would post here. I forget about it and was reminded about it by a comment by @triverse who said he was thinking of making one. Why is this an idea that different people have? Because it works so well with this site. And it is something that captures attention. This is something that a lot of people have fond nostalgic memories of and this site, or an app, can be the home for them. Think about it, how can it not go viral, remember choose your own adventure books, they are back and you can now win prizes for playing them. This can be one of the things that makes this site unique from every other blog and social media site that is fun and engaging.
I'm pretty exited about this. We can have an app or a dedicated section where users sign up for upcoming games, have stats about how well they did and a timer before they have to make their next decision. I would even go as far as suggesting given 1-2% of the reward pool to this. We will need to reward the people who run them. @papa-pepper is working his butt off on his game and he is posting about it every day consistently. There can be multiple games running at the same time. You can be a detective in one, a time traveller in another. I would help with a scifi one if it was wanted.
This could easily be done on the blockchain, as we are already technically doing it, we just need UI updates to make it easier for the people who want to run them and more appealing for those who join. It would not cost much. And the more features we add to it, the more it can stand as its own thing. A mix of writing and gaming, one that works well with this site and could really gain traction.
Got an idea for a name. Right now steemadventures comes to mind but that can be better.
