Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been two weeks since our last game, and that means we’ll be playing again this weekend. I’m sure everyone is excited in anticipation about the weekend’s game.
This Hive announcement to provide all the details of the game and answer some of the questions I was asked about the games. In this way, the Hive post will serve as a reference for new players who just found out about the game on Hive to refer to in order to understand the game. But we’ll still put the announcement on our City Discord too in #citygames for citizens who don’t want to check it out here on Hive. Announcements will always be posted on the city discord first so citizens have a first peek of the new game for the week.
I had thought of announcing it only in the city discord, but if I did that, the questions we answer will get lost up in chat (because the city chat is soooo busy) and new people who join the games from Hive or even new citizens will always keep asking the same questions to understand the games as well. So putting it here on Hive leaves a permanent reference to the gameplay guide and rules for everyone forever.
And Now The Reveal Of This Weekend’s Game
For the game of this weekend, we’ll be playing….
Guess The Riddle
This is a voice adaption of the riddle night we had a while back. It’s literally the same thing but will be played in voice channel.
The idea for this was inspired by the singing challenge held in the city a few days ago. I didn’t join from start, but I enjoyed listening to citizens talk and sing because it felt like more of a personal interaction and I think it’ll be cool to adopt it into the game this weekend. This will be the first game of this nature and we probably won’t see another one like it in a while.
I don’t think I need to explain much for the game itself because I think the game is self-explanatory.
Only few things I want to add are that to make the game fun, let’s try as much as we can to select riddles with clear clues. I’m not saying the riddles have to be easy, but the clues need to be as clear as possible to assist the other person understand and decipher.
There are many many riddle samples on the internet you can check out, but it’d be more interesting to see you come up with your own riddles. If you pick riddles from the internet, the internet giveth away the answer that easy as well. Haha
As always guys, let’s remember to bold our riddles to separate it from in game chat
The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules
I’ll create a giveaway in the city games room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have two winners. Everyone can enter the giveaway but only the 2 selected winners get to play.
Player A presents person B riddle and player B has to decipher the riddle. Then it’s B’s turn to present their riddle scenario to A too, and the next giveaway starts.
The total gameplay time will be 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours (or more, but hopefully not as it’ll get stressful) if the turn up is great and we still have many citizens who haven’t played.
Mr Dragon🐲 will play with us once a while when he has some time to spare, to grace the occasion(I doubt that’ll happen often or at all though so no promises)
Gameplay Rules
As always…
- Have fun
- Have fun
- Be creative and interesting
For now these are pretty much all the rules. Be a human being and have fun, basically. Lol. I’m trying to keep it as simple as it can be to keep it fun. But we certainly need rules or else people will go overboard. Like I already said, as the weeks progresses, there’ll be tweaks to the rules and we’ll have different games every week(hopefully). If we want this to keep going though, the turnouts will have to be encouraging and participation should be good too.
It’s important to note though that the game is not just for people already in the Neoxian city. You can join us today and play with us this weekend!
Hive is so full of articles but people don’t really know what we look like offline. Our personalities and the stories behinds our lives. Come play with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Discord to have an off-chain interaction with some of the Hivers you already might know and find out more about them! Don’t miss it this Sunday!
This is a real time countdown to the game time. Courtesy of Mr Dragon’s tech savviness:). I’m working on a way to include people from all over the world in our games, so it is very likely that our game time will change in the next game.
Please ask me questions if you don’t understand anything. If you have any concerns about any of the rules, please let me know too so we can review them before game time. You can tag and mention others I missed to mention in this post so they don’t miss out as well. A reblog and upvote will be appreciated too. Head over to the Neoxian City Discord on Sunday and let’s have some fun!!!
