Empire Trivia

Inspiration

I wanted to build an exciting trivia game experience for players that can offer something for everyone who wishes to test their knowledge of ancient history. Through the multiplayer experience, I sought to build an application that could allow players to engage in friendly competition and learn more about history. With that goal in mind, I set out to create a multifaceted game able to both entertain and educate players, offering them an intellectually fulfilling experience.

What it does

This multiplayer trivia game will test the knowledge of you and your friends on the rich history and culture of the Roman Empire. Play to see who really has the smarts to call themselves an expert on the Romans, while learning something new along the way. Whether it's for a fun time with others or just as a way to pass the time, this trivia game is sure to test your wits. In multiplayer mode, in order to answer a given question, players must first press their respective button and wait to be prompted by the game before giving their answer.

How we built it

The core frameworks used by the application were those associated with Amazon Alexa, with support from AWS services like Lambda to store all the information pertaining to different berry categories. The trivia game components were rendered within the Alexa framework using JavaScript elements.
