cupcake v0 game 2: are you smarter than a degen-interactive trivia game testing knowledge

Example

In Quiz Mode, players are presented with a series of multiple-choice or open-ended questions that test their knowledge about a wide range of topics, including cryptocurrency, economics, popular culture, and risk management. For example, a question might ask, 'Which of the following cryptocurrencies is most likely to experience a sudden surge in value due to market manipulation?' The options may include several realistic but speculative choices, challenging players to choose the most probable option based on their understanding of market psychology.

Scenario

A player enters a round where they're given a question about the future trajectory of an emerging cryptocurrency. The question might require players to use their understanding of trends, past events, or insider knowledge of the market. Players must then decide whether to take a conservative approach (sticking with stable coins) or gamble on a new, volatile token. The decision is not just about knowledge, but also how well the player assesses risk and potential rewards, mirroring the behavior of a 'degen'.

Example

One of the core features of the game is presenting players with choices that simulate high-risk, high-reward scenarios. These decisions often mimic the speculative and often irrational behavior of 'degens' in real-world markets. For example, a player might be given the option to 'invest' in a volatile asset that has a high chance of either failing spectacularly or giving huge returns, much like betting on a highly volatile altcoin in the crypto space.

Scenario

In one round, a player is asked whether to place a bet on an obscure token that could either rise 500% overnight or lose everything. The game presents them with a risk meter, where the potential reward and the chance of failure are graphically represented. Players must make a decision quickly, and their choices are tracked to assess how well they manage risk over time. This mimics the impulsive nature of many degen investors who gamble on the next big thing without carefully considering the consequences.

Example

The game is structured around levels that get progressively harder as players advance. Each level introduces more complex scenarios, requiring deeper understanding, more advanced decision-making, and quicker reactions. As players unlock higher levels, they might face choices with more severe consequences or questions that require creative solutions beyond simple factual knowledge.

Scenario

After successfully completing the basic quiz and risk-taking rounds, players are promoted to the next level, where they have to make larger-scale decisions involving multi-stage investments or asset management in a simulated crypto ecosystem. These challenges might involve managing a portfolio of assets, where players need to decide whether to liquidate, diversify, or hold onto their investments based on shifting market conditions simulated within the game.
