Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been a week since our last game, and that means we’ll be playing again this weekend. I’m sure everyone is excited in anticipation about the weekend’s game.
This Hive announcement to provide all the details of the game and answer some of the questions I was asked about the games. In this way, the Hive post will serve as a reference for new players who just found out about the game on Hive to refer to in order to understand the game. But we’ll still put the announcement on our City Discord too in #citygames for citizens who don’t want to check it out here on Hive. Announcements will always be posted on the city discord first so citizens have a first peek of the new game for the week.
I had thought of announcing it only in the city discord, but if I did that, the questions we answer will get lost up in chat (because the city chat is soooo busy) and new people who join the games from Hive or even new citizens will always keep asking the same questions to understand the games as well. So putting it here on Hive leaves a permanent reference to the gameplay guide and rules for everyone forever.
And Now The Reveal Of This Weekend’s Game
For the game of this weekend, we’ll be playing….
I Spy
This week’s game is different from most of the others we’ve played. Most of the games we’ve played to an extent, were either to get to know someone or something about someone in the city. This one though, this one is simply about fun and has a bit of guessing and detective in it.
Okay so for this game, you basically just look around your environment, pick the first thing your eye lands on and go “I spy…” then give the first letter of whatever you see. With the first letter, the other person guesses what you’re looking at. So for instance, “I spy….A” could be my play cos I’m looking at an Apple. Pretty easy, but fun. Don't give more than one letter as a tip.
As always guys, let’s remember to bold our riddles to separate it from in game chat so that the game contributions don’t get lost up in chat. I look forward to seeing you all there this weekend:)
The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules
I’ll create a giveaway in the giveaway room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have two winners. Everyone can enter the giveaway but only the 2 selected winners get to play.
Player A presents person B an I spy question and player B guesses what they're actually looking at. Then it's player B's turn to present their I spy after that.
The total gameplay time will be 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours (or more, but hopefully not as it’ll get stressful) if the turn up is great and we still have many citizens who haven’t played.
Mr Dragon🐲 will play with us once a while when he has some time to spare, to grace the occasion(I doubt that’ll happen often or at all though so no promises)
Gameplay Rules
As always…
- Have fun
- Have fun
- Be creative and interesting
For now these are pretty much all the rules. Be a human being and have fun, basically. Lol. I’m trying to keep it as simple as it can be to keep it fun. But we certainly need rules or else people will go overboard. Like I already said, as the weeks progresses, there’ll be tweaks to the rules and we’ll have different games every week(hopefully). If we want this to keep going though, the turnouts will have to be encouraging and participation should be good too.
It’s important to note though that the game is not just for people already in the Neoxian city. You can join us today and play with us this weekend!
Hive is so full of articles but people don’t really know what we look like offline. Our personalities and the stories behinds our lives. Come play with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Discord to have an off-chain interaction with some of the Hivers you already might know and find out more about them! Don’t miss it this Sunday!
This is a real time countdown to the game time. Courtesy of Mr Dragon’s tech savviness:). I’m working on a way to include people from all over the world in our games, so it is very likely that our game time will change in the next game.
Please ask me questions if you don’t understand anything. If you have any concerns about any of the rules, please let me know too so we can review them before game time. You can tag and mention others I missed to mention in this post so they don’t miss out as well. A reblog and upvote will be appreciated too. Head over to the Neoxian City Discord on Sunday and let’s have some fun!!!
