Rush - Web3 Trivia game
A fast-paced trivia game where knowledge, speed, and Web3 collide.
A trivia sprint where every second counts, and only quick minds keep pace
The Core Challenge
Our goal was to expand the FITT token universe by giving it new, playful use cases. During a 4-day hackathon, we set out to design something that aligned with our brand’s motto of fun, resonated with our Web3 audience, and could showcase how tokens create value beyond utility. The challenge was to craft a concept that felt fresh, engaging, and true to our ecosystem.

Behind the Scenes
To keep Rush competitive, fair, and replayable, I focused on designing simple but high-stakes mechanics that balance knowledge, speed, and risk.
Trivia questions were sourced via a ChatGPT API, ensuring variety and freshness
Players answered questions in 10 second timed rounds, where both speed and accuracy mattered
Difficulty scaled each round, with shorter timer and harder questions to build tension
Quick matches encouraged replayability. instant reinvestment fueling the loop
Players were grouped by stake levels, so competition felt fair and rewards meaningful
Small wins built momentum, while bigger payouts kept high-stakes rounds exciting
