Abstract
A method in a computing system to facilitate a multi-player game by selecting a group of computing devices operated by respective users, distributing interactive content that includes one or more questions with a set of selectable answers to the group of computing devices, receiving a response to the one or more questions, determining a score based on whether the response is a correct response and a number of computing devices in the group from which the correct response was received, determining a respective ranking based at least on the corresponding score, and providing the respective ranking to each computing device in the group.
Claims18
A method in a computing system for facilitating a multi-player game play, the method comprising:
- selecting, by processing hardware, a group of computing devices based on at least one selection criterion, each of the computing devices operated by a respective user;
- distributing, by the processing hardware via a communication network to the group of computing devices, interactive content that includes one or more questions with a set of selectable answers;
- receiving, by the processing hardware from the group of computing devices, a respective response to the one or more questions;
- determining, for each response, a score based on (i) whether the response is a correct response and (ii) a number of computing devices in the group from which the correct response was received;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a respective ranking based at least on the corresponding score;
- and
- providing, by the one or more processors, the respective ranking to each computing device in the group.
A system comprising one or more processors and a storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to:
- select a group of computing devices based on at least one selection criterion, each of the computing devices operated by a respective user;
- distribute, via a communication network to the group of computing devices, interactive content that includes one or more questions with a set of selectable answers;
- receive, from the group of computing devices, a respective response to the one or more questions;
- determine, for each response, a score based on (i) whether the response is a correct response and (ii) a number of computing devices in the group from which the correct response was received;
- determine a respective ranking based at least on the corresponding score;
- and
- provide the respective ranking to each computing device in the group.
A machine-readable medium carrying machine readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- select a group of computing devices based on at least one selection criterion, each of the computing devices operated by a respective user;
- distribute, via a communication network to the group of computing devices, interactive content that includes one or more questions with a set of selectable answers;
- receive, from the group of computing devices, a respective response to the one or more questions;
- determine, for each response, a score based on (i) whether the response is a correct response and (ii) a number of computing devices in the group from which the correct response was received;
- determine a respective ranking based at least on the corresponding score;
- and
- provide the respective ranking to each computing device in the group.
