Solo builder

A 3+ player party word game — roll a colour, guess the word.

WordRoll homepage — Roll a Colour, Guess the Word

Context

  • A self-initiated party word game, built solo with Next.js and React: draw a hidden word, roll a colored die for a clue type, guess for points.

Actions

  • Designed the turn structure: draw a card, roll a die for a meaning/usage/sound clue, guess for points
  • Built the scoring system (3 points per correct guess, −1 per hint, capped at 3 hints per game)
  • Built and shipped the full game solo, from rules to scoreboard

Challenges

  • Balancing hint economy and scoring so the game stays social and fast, not punishing
