I built a game that replaces doomscrolling with quizzes, hidden history, and brain puzzles
Описание и применение
CurioQuest заменяет бесконечное прокручивание контента интерактивными викторинами и головоломками, мотивируя пользователей учиться и получать XP.
Задача
Users spend excessive time doomscrolling, leading to unproductive consumption of content.
Результат
CurioQuest replaces doomscrolling with interactive learning, providing a progression system, daily streaks, and leaderboards that motivate users to engage with educational content.
Рабочий процесс
- 1. User visits https://curio-quest-phi.vercel.app/
- 2. User selects a game mode (Forgotten Wonders, Science Fact Lab, Brain Games, World & Tech Pulse)
- 3. User answers quiz or puzzle questions
- 4. System awards XP, updates streaks, and displays progress on leaderboards
- 5. User can view daily news cards with citations and source links
Доказательства
I kept catching myself doomscrolling, so I built something to replace it: CurioQuest, a free web game where curiosity earns you XP.
Everything feeds one progression system: XP, unlimited levels, daily streaks with a calendar, 12 badges, 32+ collectible museum relics, and two leaderboards (points and streaks).
Stack: React + TypeScript, built with Google AI Studio and Gemini
Live news: a server-side endpoint calls Gemini with Google Search grounding, so cards come with citations and source links
