Abstract
At DAPPCRAFT we are recreating one of the first Quiz in DCL. The first version, launched in October 2020, was very popular and we decided to extend the functionality and update interior and exterior parts and to attract new, non Decentraland users through marketing campaign. The QuizZone allows visitors to check your knowledge in the subject area, play with other participants and win prizes. Quiz as a game is very exciting, you want to play it again and again.
Our vision is to empower Decentraland’s community with smart and interactive game experiences which develop in people the desire for knowledge, the study of something new and test their knowledge in a gamifying way (audio quizzes aka “guess the song”, art/pictures quizzes, etc)
