 Nostr is good for real world relationships because you see who you follow without getting burried by an algorithm. However, it is very text focused. Facebook grew by using games, then once you had built a network of friends you could see what your friends were posting. This overcame the chicken and egg scenario with building a social network. 

A daily challenge game like sukudu or wordle where you can see your friends score would be great. It could be embedded into websites like the NY Times have done to wordle, but because it's nostr the same game could be played on different sites or dedicated apps and you could see the results of all your friends, wherever they played the game. This could easily get a greater network effects than wordle. Every site that's not NY Times has an incentive to get on board to offer something that doesn't take people to their competition.  
 @Puzzito @kinjo @Peachy🍑 
 Games like chess, dominoes, connect four, checkers, guess who, and battle ship just to name a few should be nostrfied.

Literally anyone of these games paired with cornychat would be a stone cold killa app that would get people using nostr without even knowing that they are using nostr 
 had this idea and discussion last august-september

even got around to getting a domain 
 Love this idea.  Also like the idea of a classic #nostr arcade where you pay sats to play classics and high scores are a thing. 
 #nostrcade (domain available) 
 there was a nostr arcade gaming project at the last nostr hackathon 
 Whatttt never heard about this?!?

 I’m down to help brainstorm. I don’t think those are the best game choices to start with. The games should be multiplayer like the games we played in @Jeroen ✅ s #gamestr night

In my poopy opinion the mvp should have nostr live chat, nostr login, corny chat and zaps 
 there's a lack in devs more than anything 
 I hear you, I was going to try and put together a bounty to get the ball rolling. 
 i still have these designs from way back https://i.nostr.build/LemAD.jpg https://i.nostr.build/q6DAd.jpg

 Is this a real game or mock up? 
 i made this mock up 
 @ABH3PO wanted to develop it further, let's see 
 This is why I keep advocating for a nostr module for unity engine  
 Yes! We need a non kyc zbd 
 Yeah wordle was a solid game. And agre that hooking in a simple game could help bootstrap this network. 
That and maybe a ticketex clone or something using nostr where you can purchase tickets and transfer to other nostr ids. Admittedly, I dunno much about how ticketex and festival or sporting events ticketing sites work. Just an idea.  
 this is a great idea 💡
