They’re on like their 3rd book and haven’t yet, but she’s a big Agatha Christie fan & there’s a few hurdles to jump through if I want to include more modern stuff. Plus the classics are pretty recognizable so that helps too
Now that said, and also just a thought: The idea of motifs recently came to me for a similar book project (for example stephen king and alice munro are linked by the "small town secrets" motif). that's something more relatable that you might be able to gamify. Thoughts?
I was thinking about changing the hints more… like loldle (wordle esque game for league of legends) uses emojis in their classic mode, something like that might be easier. Could just add it as an addition or maybe as a mercy hint… still thinking about it & seeing where people get stuck statistics wise
Your idea sounds pretty fun too, and that wouldn’t have the same public domain restrictions that I’ve locked myself to lol
