Choose the Right Door Game Show?

This event would be for a few contestants. It could be 3 per 2 hours or so. Contestants are given a trivial/hard question by their choice - Easy, Medium, or hard. The correct and incorrect answers will be on top of a few entrances with answers on top of the corridors. They would have to go through this little tunnel and then hit a lever to fall through the ground. If they got it wrong they would fall into lava and be eliminated. The correct players will land in water. Easy questions are 5 Dei, medium are 10 Dei and Hard are 20 Dei. Whoever survived the whole game gets the amount added up.

(The questioning system might be changed on how the community wants it to be )

So... what do you guys think?

~Update 1~ So here is the new ideas for this game bluprint.

Name(Could still be changed): The Labyrinth of Knowledge
Set-up:
1) There will be either 1 ginormous rooms for the contestants, or multiple rooms containing 1 or few contestants.
2) The rooms will have a number of hallways with the letters 'A,B,C, ect.' on top of each hallway. The correct answer can be alternated from a room using redstone materials and switches. (For example, if the correct answer was 'A,' a switch can easily be flicked on so that the 'C' is now the correct letter. This will prevent returning players from memorizing the answers.)
3) There will be switches at the end of each hallway. If the player gets the answer right, they drop down into another room for more questions. If they are incorrect however, they will be dropped down into lava and are eliminated. But, if the rooms are going to hold more than 1 player, than when the switch is chosen, there will be a closing at the beginning of the chosen hallway so that the others can't see if they survived or not.

~Update 2~This game would be only once or even twice a week. Only 25 contestants (still deciding) can join. Each player can only play once per week. This allows the chance to have small number of players per game. One person who can play once a week rule can allow new players to play as well, instead of having ,for example, 13 people from the last game makes up the majority playing the next game in the same week. This means that the 12 can enjoy it, but we want everyone to be able to play at least once and enjoy what others are enjoying.

 

One of the more original ideas I've heard in a while, as most server-wide games suggested involve pvp or killing mobs. I do like a good quiz maze. You could try building this in-game, though ... Not sure how feasible it would be to create on a seperate world, with interchangeable questions and so forth, to the point that you could do it every few hours with a group of people, but then I'm certain that there are people who are excellent at programming and modding and so forth that could figure a plug-in out that might be able to do what you're thinking.

 

Thanks! I don't think it should be hourly. Maybe once to twice a week for new questions. And the questions can be created by a team who wants to willingly spend their time coming up with questions. It'd be one hard event to host but I suppose it can be done with a little effort!

 

Also, if they stand still for more then 10 seconds you are eliminated because you are probably looking up the question on google.

 

Maybe it could be a contest on how fast you can look things up on google? 10 seconds? Challenge Accepted.

 

If you just put [A], , or [C] on the doors, then it would be easier to have multiple questions. you'd use pistons to move blocks in front of the questions. you could easily have 4 different questions. Then, if you're running redstone for the question, you connect it to the door system. All the doors would be iron and all would have lava underneath. the question that comes up could control which door will open and which lava would open. Of course, the whole system is dependent on the use of sticky pistons. Just a quick little rant... Sticky pistons are one of the most useful tools and this is the only server that I've been on that blocks them...

 

I don't know how the dei/rewards would work but I figure it's much like the quest system. It would actually be pretty easy to have over 16 different questions. A limitation is that only 1 person could guess at a time. After each guess, the doors could change questions/answers. I may build one of these sometime on a server that allows sticky pistons. it sounds pretty fun and, other than the rewards, can be completely vanilla. It's also easy to install a timer. I think one issue may be how to make sure they are standing on the drop pad to push the button. An easier fix would be to just use 1 door and three buttons. 1 button, for example, button opens the door. The other two open the trap. This could still be altered for each question so that button [A] or [C] can be the correct answers.

 

That's would be an excellent idea. "Do you go with the masses? or are you sure you have the right answer despite what everyone else is doing? 50 contestants will battle with only their wits until a lone victor remains!"

You could do the same thing with three doors as well. You could even vary how many doors there are. stick the system on a 20 second timer or something for each gate. If it's an event, so that everyone can see the question, just use one question that everyone can quickly read, or put multiple of the same question up. It can also be wired so that the game makers can just change the answer door with the flick of 2 levers. Then, as long as they change the questions, they can quickly and easily change the answer.

 

they're going to be questions about the server or minecraft or other?

 

Yeah they could be. For example, 'Name a moderator' or 'How many of the items do you need to make a full set of armor.'
I'm really liking the ideas guys. Keep them up!

 

Then again, though this is a decent idea, we must consider that once people make it through the mazes of questions/answers, there will be people going back and telling others things like, "It wasn't this answer" or "This is the right answer". There would theoretically need to be a massive pool of questions to keep this sort of thing from happening.

 

...and a massive pool is really only possible with a mod. If, however, it is a bi-daily event or something, and you have all your contestants go at once, you would only need a new question per door bi-daily. If you set up 4 at each door and just change them at the flip of a switch, you could do a weeks worth at one time. It would still take some time though.

 

your going to have to think up a Lot of different questions then

 

I know
Here's a thought though. since I assume it would be run on a cloud, you could just have the server send it in a message. However, I don't know how you'd link that to the doors. I guess that wouldn't work without a plug-in.

 

I think that there should be a chat plugin where you can only see one person talk. In this case, global chat, local chat, messaging, ect. can not be received or sent. The only person allowed to send messages in the chat would be the Advisor asking the questions. Then it would be easy to see without having to repeat the question over and over again.

 

hello people your gonna have to ask lots of different questoins!!!!

 

I have a solution for the telling of answers to other people after the maze. You would make many different rooms. Each room would have it's answers. People would only be able to go inot those rooms every, lets say, 2o minutes, and by then, the answers could have been reset along with the right answer. Also, if you made an insane amount of rooms that all had a lot of the same questions but all had different right ones, it would be impossible, if not extremely hard, for one to cheat.
