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

  1. Start: Player clicks "Start Game"
  2. Question: 30-second timer starts, player answers
  3. Correct: Move to next question, update score
  4. Wrong/Timeout: Game over, show explanation
  5. Milestone: Option to continue or walk away
  6. Win: Complete all 12 questions for R$1,000,000
  7. 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.
