An endless project to create a real time multiplayer crossword solving game.
For now it’s only NYT daily crossword puzzles. The vision: a library of puzzles, both user generated and in collections.
A Session is a multiplayer space where all the solving happens, and has a specific URL.
You collaborate with each other to solve the puzzle as fast as you can while competing to see who can solve the most squares.
A user visits the homepage, where they create a username. They land on a home page that has a list of the most recent puzzles.
After they choose puzzle, they can start a new Session for that puzzle, or continue existing Sessions sorted by most recently updated, or view stats from completed Sessions.
When they either start or resume a Session, they are able to share the link with anyone who can join and play with them.
Once the Session is complete, they see a summary of the Session with data about who completed what percentage of the puzzle.
