Inspiration
I grew up watching family trivia nights, everyone crowded around the TV, shouting answers and laughing at the lifeline results. Those memories inspired me to build a game that captures that energy: each player answers 12 trivia questions, hits milestone prizes along the way and chooses whether to continue playing or walk away with a guaranteed leaderboard position. Players may use one of three lifelines at any time: 50/50 (removes two incorrect answers), Ask the Audience (gets a simulated audience poll), or Phone a Friend (receives a hint from a simulated friend). It’s available to play now at r/Reddionaire.
Game Flow
- Start: Player clicks "Start Game"
- Question: 30-second timer starts, player answers
- Correct: Move to next question, update score
- Wrong/Timeout: Game over, show explanation
- Milestone: Option to continue or walk away
- Win: Complete all 12 questions for R$1,000,000
- Leaderboard: Score saved to subreddit leaderboard
How I built it
It was built using Devvit blocks with React hooks for state management to handle game states, Redis for leaderboard storage and a custom theme (theme.ts) for reusable UI components and consistent styling throughout the game.
