Bluegirl and I have been working on a new game (web page) for the past 4 or 5 months. It is a game of Quests & Challenges. We need some help (ideas) for the categories for the Quests.
Here is a very quick explanation of the game (note, it is much more detailed and complex then what i have described here).
The idea behind the game is a User can create quests/challenges for others to complete. A user can create or complete challenges.
Each Quest has up to four levels (ranked from low to high in difficulty (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum).
A Quest can have n number of levels as long as it does not exceed 4 and as long as they are submiited in order by rank.
Example:
Title: Adirondack Firetower Challenge
Description: Climb all 24 firetowers in the Adirondack Park of Upstate New York. Each Level consists of 6 towers ranging in difficulty.
Level1: Bronze - Climb 6 towers
<6 firetowers listed here>
Level2: Silver - Climb 6 towers
<6 firetowers listed here>
Level3: Gold - Climb 6 towers
<6 firetowers listed here>
Level4: Platinum - Climb 6 towers
<6 firetowers listed here>
When a user creates a Quest, it is submitted to a moderator for review. As long as it follows the required guidlines of the site, the moderator will aprove it, else he/she will deny it.
Once a quest is approved, it is available and listed under the Quest categories to be actively completed by other users.
A user completes each level one at a time and submits the requirements back to the quest author for approval.
Once approved, the user receives the appropriate medal for completion of that level. Once all levels are completed, they get a completion for the entire quest
Quests are created and listed in 1 of 10 categories
This is where i need your help. Quests can be anything and the ideas are never ending....however, i am trying to create 10 category names by which all quests could be categorized under:
Example: Outdoors & Recreation
Arts & Leisure
Can you help me come up with 10?
Also....
I was wondering if any of the geocachers woul be willing to help me test the account (members) functionality of a this new website i am creating.
http://www.trymyquest.comNOTE: Please read all of this post before continueing....
Please create a new membership from the login screen. Everything is confidential, and you don't have to use your real password which goes with your email account if you don't want to. You can create a new password. (You may have to anyway, since the password security on this site requires a strong password. (I may change that in the future)....and all passwords are encrypted therefore even the admin (me) can't see them.
Play around with just this portion of the site (Membership creation). Try editing your profile afterwards. Try changing your password. etc.
Please do not try creating any QUESTS or LEVELS! ALSO, do not try upgrading your membership to premium!
You may try any other feature you see. Searching for other users, etc. deactivating, re-activating, etc.
Once you create a membership and play around and test as a free membership, send me an email to geolobos AT yahoo DOT com and tell me to upgrade you to premium. I will manually upgrade you and you can then test the premium membership functionality. Adding other users to your friends list, sending internal messages, etc.
NOTE: This site is not beautiful by any means. I have not been concentrating on design, layout, or even verbage in some cases. That will come after all the functionality (Guts) of the system is working properly.
Email me any bugs, suggestions, or feedback you might have to geolobos AT yahoo DOT com. Put "TryMyQuest" in the subject line
Thanks for any help you can give
