Build Trivia Quest—a browser-based adventure game where Chuck the alien must answer trivia questions to journey through three mysterious realms. Using React and AI-powered question generation from the Open Trivia Database, you'll create a complete game with dynamic questions, progression systems, and polished animations. By the end of camp, your game will be live on the web, ready to challenge friends and showcase your skills.
This isn't just following a tutorial—you're the game designer and developer. You'll architect the quest system, integrate real APIs, handle state management like a pro, and make creative decisions about Chuck's journey. Every feature you add makes the game more engaging, and every challenge you solve teaches you how real developers build interactive experiences people love to play.
