ConQUIZtador is a browser-based video game of knowledge and skill, where the main goal is to conquer the largest part of your country. It is a game that allows players to compete for dominance over the entire territory of their country, conquering region by region by correctly answering questions from various categories.[1]

ConQUIZtador originated in Hungary, and its founder is Attila Bihari. It was created in 2002 and started operating in Serbia on June 4, 2009.

According to the available data, the game now has around 50,000 questions and 125,000 players.

Gameplay

edit

The game begins with three players who, using their knowledge and skills (internet use is allowed as a source of additional information), answer two sets of questions.

In the first set, or the first round, players answer numerical questions. The player whose answer is closest to the correct one, considering the time taken (e.g., if two players give the same answer, but one answered in 1.59 seconds and the other in 3.87 seconds, the faster one wins), earns two territories out of the 15 into which Serbia is divided. The second-place player chooses one territory. At this stage, a territory is worth 200 points.

In the second round, the game focuses on attacking opponents' territories or towers. In this part of the game, players answer multiple-choice questions with four options. A player who is the only one to give the correct answer wins a territory, now valued at 400 points, or earns 100 points for a successful defense. If two players give the correct answer, a numerical question determines the winner.

Additionally, in the second round, it is possible to attack enemy towers, of which there are three in total. For the defender, each correct answer by the attacker results in the loss of one tower. If all three towers are destroyed, all points and territories of the defender are transferred to the attacker. Naturally, the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Points earned through playing multiple games

The total points in this system are calculated by averaging three key performance metrics:

  1. Knowledge Accuracy: Measures the percentage of correct answers in the last 256 questions. This is calculated by:
    • Percentage of correct answers in 4-question sets
    • Percentage of correct answers in a specific scoring method involving dividing a number
  2. Win Ratio: Calculated from the last 100 games, representing the proportion of victories to total games played.
  3. Opponent Strength: Average performance intensity (PI) of opponents over the last 100 games.

These three metrics are combined to determine the overall point score, providing a comprehensive assessment of performance across multiple dimensions.
