OP CA$H POET WEB SITE GAME

Poets enter the "Cash POET" as simple poets answering questions based on rules of poetry and poems and lines from famous poems, like guess that line.
then offer them the following proposition:

The questions start out on the easy side, then get harder along the way – the harder the question, the more money it’s worth. The first four questions are worth $25 of OP CASH for each correct answer. The next four are worth $50 of OP CASH and then every question after that is worth $100 of OP CASH.

Something like the Poker sites.

A correct answer is awarded the cash, an incorrect answer means the contestant gets a strike. The contestants can earn cash all the way to the top, a list of poets holding rank. But the second they miss their third question (i.e., earn their third strike), Papa ejects them onto their page.

If they get stumped on a question, contestants can "shout out" for help, either by calling someone on our mobile phone (a "Mobile Shout-Out"), or by asking someone on the site for help (a "Site Shout-Out"). Each contestant only has one Mobile and one Site Shout-Out during the course of each game.


Finally, if the poet arrives at the top of the game having earned cash, they can opt to bet it all – double or nothing – on a "Bonus Question." The question is a based on a OP Poets Poem.


Like something like that..

Yes just like Cash Cab

Pac can do it we know he can.
This is all play money until
we can think of something else????

Ok, thanks you two.

Pac and the team would have to build a section on here at OP, for that,

Here is an example of a fun only site, with no money.

That's a really good game idea. We're working on getting some games developed and on the site for everyone. This would be a good addition.

I think the biggest challenge of this would be coming up with the trivia questions to ask. Maybe we can start a list of poets and links to sites with quotes and other information. There is also wikipedia to reference history information about various poets.

On our pages it can show rank, and cash/points.
Hampton, Dah, RHPeat, Neville, Cousin Oren, Ginga will be a run for the money, and more.

any updates on this, smile

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
