Jetpunk feature suggestions

Submitted by azerifactory on October 5, 2025
I've got few suggestions for Jetpunk so any feedback would be welcome.

* Seasonal or Themed Events: Special quizzes during holidays (Valentine's Day, Xmas) or events (Independence Day) with exclusive rewards.

* In-Quiz Power-Ups: Options like “50/50,” “skip question,” for Multiple-choice quizzes

* More granular leaderboards, e.g., by country / by city

* Adaptive Quizzes: Questions adapt in difficulty based on the user’s performance.

I have looked for ways to do things like adaptive quizzes but I am not sure my code can “see” things like the player’s best score, level, or the date. I’d love to do a daily quiz that changes every day, but I am not sure it’s currently possible. 🤔

I would be interested to see QMs response to these.

In my opinion, the Seasonal events and Leaderboards sound really fun, but the other ones are slightly out of my interest. After all this is a trivia website, and so you should be here to do trivia, not try to “win”.

My idea: what if there was some sort of (100% optional) way to go more head to head with other users? I know there is the friend leaderboard on the daily trivia, but something more could be fun.

Adaptive quiz would probably work better as a few quizzes and not a quiz type in my opinion. Power ups do seem really out of place though, and that would make things a lot more complicated.

I would love themed events (or at least some decorations on the top bar). Leaderboards I would want most, for points, quiz takes, daily leaderboards, by region, etc.

Among these 4 suggestions, I would support the Leaderboards, for points (or just Your Friends Leaderboard), and for points by language.

I think this would be a good way to generally boost quiz takes on the website.

It'd be interesting to see if this effect holds true.

And I also think a general Leaderboard for Daily Trivia Challenge would be great.

The interest of the JetPunk community in such rankings has been proven in this blog by MasterRocket.

If these types of rankings are ever created, it might be useful to be able to choose whether or not to appear in them - similar to social features that can be enabled or disabled in user account settings.

Out of the 4, the seasonal and the ledaderboard one are very great ideas

as for the power ups, it wouldnt make much sense since this isnt really a tv game show thing

Cool ideas. Stuff is hard though.

We're still maintaining loads of features that few people ever use. Every new feature adds to the complexity of changing anything else on the site. I know it might not feel that way to a non-technical person, but that's how it works.

One thing about leaderboards. We tried leaderboards on the daily quiz when it first launched. It was instantly full of cheaters. Some people just can't help themselves, they really can't.

Tsss it's sad to hear that, but that was a predictable answer. Thank you cheaters!

I think there should be more maybe one every time you level up, obviously over a certain level.

Or if you go over a milestone number of takes, say 25k, 50k, etc.
