Project Overview

The Battle Royale Quiz Game is an online, multiplayer knowledge-based game inspired by the mechanics of “battle royale” survival games. Instead of combat, players compete by answering quiz questions. Each wrong answer eliminates players until only one remains – the Quiz Champion. This project blends gamification, real-time multiplayer logic, and quiz-based learning, making it ideal for final-year Computer Science students.

Key Features

1. Multiplayer Battle Royale Mode

   • Players join a quiz lobby with a set number of participants (e.g., 20–50 players).

   • All players start together and compete in rounds of timed questions.

   • Wrong answers or timeouts result in elimination.

2. Real-Time Gameplay

   • All players see the same question at the same time.

   • Countdown timer for each round (e.g., 15 seconds).

   • Live elimination updates when players drop out.

3. Question Types

   • Multiple-choice (A, B, C, D).

   • True/False.

   • Image-based questions (e.g., identify a flag, logo, or person).

   • Rapid-fire bonus rounds.

4. Winner Declaration

   • Game continues until one player remains.

   • If multiple players survive till the last round, the one with the highest score or fastest response time wins.

5. Leaderboards & Statistics

   • Lobby chat before and after the match.

   • Fun sound effects for correct/wrong answers.

   • Animated elimination effects (like characters falling off the screen).

Technology Stack

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (with animations).

• Backend:

  • Node.js with Socket.IO (for real-time multiplayer synchronization).

  • OR PHP/Java (for quiz management, player sessions, scoring).
