2. Project Overview
Why Back Event 2
- Real Demand: SandFam is asking for it—this is audience pull, not a guess.
- We’re Ready to Spin Up Fast: Event 1’s systems (forms, audits, Discord flow) exist; we’ll adapt them for Event 2 instead of starting from scratch.
- Great DAO Story: A quick follow-up shows the DAO backs what works and iterates quickly.
- Clear Targets: We’ll track and report solid KPIs (hours played, unique players, verified entries).
About the Game:
Quizrift — where your mind is the only weapon.
Quizrift is a visually striking, single-player sci-fi trivia game that challenges your reflexes, logic, and focus under intense pressure. Answer general knowledge questions across 20 cyber-styled levels—each with just 10 seconds on the clock.
Choose wrong, and you’ll fall into the Penalty Rift, where you’ll face a harder math question with a 20-second limit. But you only get two chances in the Rift—fail both, and the game ends instantly.
Key Features:
- 20 handcrafted levels with increasing difficulty
- Only 10 seconds per question in the main arena
- Penalty Rift system with a second-chance mechanic
- Fail twice in the Rift and it’s game over
- Anti-cheat system prevents skipping or exploiting answers
- Time-based leaderboard ranks players by speed
- Polished sci-fi visuals with glowing tiles and animated VFX
- Smooth sound design with ambient loops and reaction cues
Do you have the clarity and speed to outsmart the Quizrift?
Quizrift complete. Your mind endures.

$4,000 USD – For Game upgrade, polish, testing, final deployment and event‑management services

Total: 7000 SAND (1000 SAND prize pool /day for 7 days)

Micro-contests Summary (250 SAND/DAY)
Here are the five micro-contest formats we’ll feature (each day we’ll run two):
-
Screenshot of the Day
Players submit their most creative end-run screenshot (time + game code) for community voting. -

Note: These micro-contests can be changed, removed, or new ones added at any time to keep engagement high and responsive to community feedback.
Notes
-
These micro contests are built to:
- Drive social buzz , encourage repeat visits
- Grow the community organically
- Leaderboard and micro contest rewards will be sent together after the event ends.
- Allow 1–2 weeks for final verification and payout processing.
- Winner names for the Discord raffle and Twitter challenge will be announced daily, but payout will happen at the end of the full event.
Anti-Cheat Protection:
To prevent photo editing or fake entries, each run displays a unique daily game code (a mix of letters and numbers).
The game code changes every 24 hours (Exact time: TBA), and submissions without the correct code for the day will be disqualified.
This ensures that only real and timely runs are accepted.
Simple, secure, and fair leaderboard based on fastest verified times.

By participating, players confirm they are above the legal age required in their country for skill-based, reward-driven activities. Participants are fully responsible for ensuring their eligibility.
This will also be stated in the Google Form.

3. Motivation
Why are you applying for support from The Sandbox?
I’m applying to bring Quizrift to a wider audience through an engaging, time-based event that rewards players and increases platform retention.
DAO support will help scale the project, ensure fair reward distribution, and create a lasting impact within the community.
Why did you choose to build this project in The Sandbox?
The Sandbox is my creative home — I’ve grown here as a voxel artist and game designer since 2022.
This project is designed specifically for the Sandbox ecosystem, using its logic systems, tools, and built-in community potential to the fullest.
4. Timeline

6. Future Plans & Sustainability
What are your plans for maintaining the project after launch?
Quizrift features 100 total MCQs (80 general knowledge + 20 math-based). To keep the experience fresh, I plan to introduce a new batch of questions. This ensures returning players face new challenges and content.
How do you plan to attract and retain players over time?
As outlined above in the Project Overview, Quizrift is designed for engagement and repeat playthroughs. Beyond Quizrift, I have another game fully built and ready to launch. It’s more immersive, visually refined, and offers higher playtime and retention.
