Stick Scholars

Stick Scholars is a chaotic online party game where players must parkour to school, answer trivia, and sus out a hidden saboteur (the Class Clown). The Class Clown attempts to prevent the group from graduating by intentionally missing trivia questions, pretending to be bad at parkour, or making the parkour more challenging by using items. The Class Clown can’t be too obvious though, or they risk the group voting to suspend them. 1. ROLE ASSIGNMENT Scholars want to graduate. The Class Clown wants to prevent that by any means necessary. 2. PARKOUR Before every quiz, students must survive a goofy and chaotic 2D parkour run to school. Fail to make it to class on time (or die along the way), and that player automatically fails their portion of the trivia quiz, making it harder for the group to achieve a passing grade. There are ridiculous obstacles on the way to school, such as fiery trash cans and big locks blocking the way. Don't choke on the jumps or people might think you're the Class Clown! Watch out for items the Class Clown actively places! (Example: Fake Block shown below.) TRIVIA Each player that makes it to school must answer a trivia question that is specific to them. To pass the trivia quiz, the group must collectively score high enough to get a passing grade. Class Clowns may intentionally answer incorrectly, or blend in with the Scholars early on in the game by answering questions correctly. Do you know your friends' knowledge well enough to sus out the Class Clown? VOTE After the results of each trivia quiz, everyone votes on who they think is the Class Clown. The player with the most votes is temporarily suspended for the next trivia quiz only. Suspended players have no impact on the following quiz score as they do not participate in answering a trivia question. SCORING & END GAME If the Scholars pass more than the required number of quizzes, they graduate! If not, the Class Clown wins. By default, the group needs to pass at least 6 out of 10 trivia quizzes to graduate. Note From The Developer To accommodate a large variety of age ranges and skill levels, I've included settings to adjust the parkour & trivia difficulty to your needs (Easy/Medium/Hard). I recommend starting with the default settings for the most balanced gameplay though.
