  • The goal is to connect a high fun-factor with as many educational aspects and features of the xo as possible
  • Let users generate the content by submitting new questions, images and imagemaps online

Description

It's all about the educational factor in the quiz project:

  • Easy to pick up knowledge while playing (or submitting questions)
  • Explanatory images
  • Informative answers (maybe a second image)
  • Introductive reading (articles / wikipedia infos, ...)


  • Easy possibility to create and share quizzes by kids (xo-cam, ...)
  • Ability to use an existing image to create new questions
  • Rating of other contributions


  • Categories like Arts, Astronomy, Food, Geography, Health, Technics, ...
  • Fun, Easy and Open Source


  • Multiplayer-Games possible
  • Including limited hd in the concept
  • Modular structure of the application
    • Exchangeable Modules (Categories) via Mesh or Schoolserver


Game Content

A large, high-quality database is crucial for the game.

An idea would be to apply web2 thoughts and let users contribute and rate the content - should be fun and easy too ;-).

It could be possible to get a digg or such and have by this way a lot of users visiting the project page and perhaps contributing.
