Game Mechanics

Aptrivia delivers a fast-paced, skill-based trivia experience designed to reward sharp thinking and quick reflexes. Every game is engineered for fairness, transparency, and excitement.

🎮 Game Format

  • Each live game session consists of 20 multiple-choice questions.

  • Players have 10 seconds to answer each question.

  • Correct answers are rewarded based on the time remaining on the timer, scored down to the hundredth of a second.

  • Incorrect answers earn no points.

  • Players cannot change their answer once submitted.

  • After submitting their answer, players will wait until the timer reaches zero before seeing the correct answer.

  • Once time expires, the correct answer is revealed along with a breakdown of how others answered:

    • Each answer button displays the total number of users who chose it.

    • A visual percentage bar shows the distribution of responses across all four choices.

🏆 Scoring System

  • Every correct answer earns a score equal to the remaining time on the 10-second countdown.

  • For example, answering correctly with 6.43 seconds left earns 6.43 points.

  • The total score across all 20 questions determines the winner.

  • The player with the highest cumulative score at the end of the game is the sole winner of the prize.

📺 Integrated Ad Model

  • Each game features three video ads, one ad before the start, one ad at the halfway mark (after question 10), and one add before results.

  • This ad-based model funds the prize pool while keeping the game free to play for everyone.

📡 Live Sync & Timing Accuracy

  • Aptrivia uses WebSockets for real-time communication during live games, ensuring seamless question delivery, synchronized countdown timers, and immediate response tracking across all users.

  • Additionally, Aptrivia employs blockchain-anchored timestamps and smart validation to maintain score accuracy and fairness, even across devices or internet conditions.

This real-time scoring model encourages not just correctness, but also quick decision-making, making every second count.
