🧠 Inspiration We noticed that many high school students struggle with staying motivated while studying, especially during exam prep. Traditional methods like flashcards or passive reading can be boring and ineffective. Inspired by the popularity of games and competitive apps like Kahoot and Duolingo, we wanted to create something that combines education with the excitement of multiplayer battles — making learning feel like a game, not a chore.

🚀 What it does QuizVerse is a real-time multiplayer quiz web app where students can: Join or create quiz rooms Compete in subject-based timed quiz battles Earn points, unlock streaks, and climb the leaderboard Track subject-wise performance over time It’s fast-paced, fun, and keeps students coming back for more by turning studying into an engaging challenge.

🛠️ How we built it We built QuizVerse as a responsive web application using: Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (with optional React.js) Design: Figma (for UI/UX), Canva (for assets) Deployment: GitHub Pages for demo The real-time multiplayer functionality was handled via Firebase listeners that sync quiz states between users in the same room.

🧩 Challenges we ran into Multiplayer syncing: Handling real-time quiz battles with multiple players joining or dropping was tricky. Latency issues: Keeping the timer and responses synced across devices required careful logic. Question database: Designing a clean, extensible structure for multiple subjects and difficulty levels. Time constraints: Prioritizing features like streaks, rankings, and room invites within the hackathon window.

🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of Successfully built and deployed a fully working multiplayer quiz game from scratch Created a gamified learning experience with point systems, streaks, and real-time play Designed a responsive UI that works well on both desktop and mobile Got positive feedback from high schoolers who tested the game for fun and learning

📚 What we learned How to manage real-time multiplayer logic using Firebase Importance of user experience in education — small gamification elements boost motivation How to design UI/UX that keeps things clear even under pressure (timers, fast-paced questions) How to work collaboratively and quickly under time pressure in a hackathon setting
