Customizable Digital Deduction Game Platform

Customizable Digital Deduction Game Platform

Summary: Digital deduction games lack personalization, limiting engagement. A web platform enables users to create custom characters, share links, and play multiplayer games with enhanced, user-generated content, fostering community and educational use.

The Problem: Digital Deduction Games Need More Personalization

The digital gaming world lacks easily customizable versions of classic deduction games like Guess Who. While digital board games exist, few combine simple gameplay with deep customization, easy sharing, and real-time multiplayer functionality. This gap matters because personalized content boosts engagement, and simple sharing options make social play more accessible - particularly valuable for remote interactions or educational settings where custom characters could enhance learning.

How Customizable Deduction Gaming Could Work

One approach could be a web platform where users:

  • Create custom character sets by uploading images and assigning attributes
  • Generate shareable links to start multiplayer games
  • Play real-time Guess Who using their custom characters
  • Save and remix character sets for future games

The gameplay would keep the classic Guess Who mechanics (yes/no questions to eliminate characters), but with user-generated content as the core innovation. Potential users could include friend groups, fandom communities, educators, families, and content creators - each benefiting from the customization options in different ways.

Developing and Testing the Concept

An MVP might start with a basic web app featuring single-player vs AI mode, default character sets, and simple image uploads. After validating interest, the platform could add real-time multiplayer functionality and character set saving. Key assumptions to test early would include whether users actually want to create custom content and if the game remains fun with personalized characters.

Compared to existing digital versions of Guess Who, this approach would stand out by eliminating download requirements and account sign-ups while adding content creation tools. The web-based design creates instant accessibility, and the customization options could create network effects as users share their unique character sets.
