Watched this video about the out of print puzzle book called 'Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle'. Wasn't familiar with this type of book, similar to a choose your own adventure book but with clues in the text and images.

I wonder if you could use bitchat geohashes to make a similar sort of game? You would probably have to have some sort of command !puzzle or !maze or whatever to prompt a bot to give you a text clue or a an as I image clue or next part of the storyline or etc which takes you to the next geohash? Geohash text / ASCII dungeon crawler anyone? 👀

Apparently there's a game version of the book:

If someone created the bot and maintained its cost to operate, i could look at integrating it. But not sure it’s an expense I’d like to take on personally.

No of course, I was just thinking of a possible usecase. It would also take a person / people to make the puzzles/dungeons/stories (ideally not ai), which would also be quite a big task.

But I agree with you that a text based game a whole channel could play would be pretty cool

It could be in a single channel or it could be across multiple channels, requiring someone to jump to geohashes in the same way you jump to a page in a choose your own adventure. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I wonder.🤔

Were you around early enough for the choose your own adventure thing on nostr in late 23 and early 24?

No 👀

I think I I was here, but didn't see that

It was pretty amusing. Can't remember the npub, though...

You could potentially have a marketplace for this sorta bitchat puzzle/ storyline mode thing which would involve paying to play the puzzle/read the altbook (or whatever ofem or takes). As well as free to play.

Perhaps there will be another which would involve participants winning a prize or a job in the CIA lol.

You know like that circadia thing?

The geocaching Treasure thing is another perhaps obvious integration¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
