In the relatively near future, a new quiz-writing game will be launched here at FunTrivia. Instead of focusing on idea creation, like Kyle's wonderful games, this new game is meant to foster motivation.

Some of our regular authors may find the game to be ridiculously addictive! I am hoping we will attract new and former authors to start writing more quizzes. The editors have seen glimpses of what is to come and everyone is quite excited to launch the new game.

So everyone, please get your aprons ready because the tacos are coming!

Yes, there is currently a finite number, but I certainly have plans to expand. We wanted to deliver the simplest version of what I had planned so as not to confuse people too much or make the game to complicated.

"too" complicated I should say.

I don't know about the recipe being added to your cook book if you create it. I am going to say no, just from what I know. You will have to remember!

But I believe you can only create a dish once. If you are able to create a dish more than once, it is a bug.

Since that one is finite, can there be some sort of limiting factor put in place for it? There are going to be a small number of very active authors who will rack up ingredients quickly and probably pick off a lot of them before the general population gets to them...

I am not sure what Terry has in the coding of the badge, but I think it might be fair that once you have the mini-badge, you can't be considered the "first" with future dishes. I will message him and see if this is the case.

Innovator will only ever get won by a small number of people. That's okay.

And nope, right now first is first. As in, no one has ever made it before.

There have always been badges that have been easier (or even possible) to win at certain times. This is a mini too, so it's not really the focus of the game.

Eventually your created dishes will appear in a link from your profile.

That was much quicker, haha. Thanks, Terry. Looks like an early start is going to be a huge advantage for that one then.

Is there a limit to the number of ingredients you can have in your pantry?

No, I don't believe so (sorry, I don't know the definitive answer for some of the technical issues). I believe you can hoard if you like.

(Creedy examines the can opener with great interest and wonders how it works)

This challenge is going to be very enjoyable for those who love cooking in particular, but the good thing about it is that the quizzes or single questions don't have to be about cooking. I think?

If so, then if I get enough ingredients and things together, then maybe my now ex-husband (God bless his tubby tum-tum) will create a recipe for me.

On the other hand, he could try to poison us all.

I just tried to create a recipe with the first four ingredients we've been given, but the program just started laughing.

Haha, no the quizzes don't have to be about food. That's just the game's theme.

COME ON. Apple Chicken and Chocolate is TOTALLY a thing. UGH.

Maybe I'll trade Lemon for Mussels and make Apple Mussels and Chocolate.

Where is the new game? I don't see it on my home screen, but I may just be in need of a new prescription for my glasses.

Haha, I tried that too. Alas, pork-ice cream-chick peas-beef is not a dish either!

Terry posted a link in this thread. You can also find it in the Author Central page.

Found it. Apparently eggplant, cucumber, egg and cinnamon does not make an omelette that is recognised.

Yeah, leeks, shrimp, milk and chili don't seem to go far either.
