Azerbaijan's intellectual quiz platform: five to nine players sit at a table on their phones, answer questions, vote out the weakest link each round, and the winner takes the prize.
The rules are the ones people know from the television show. The difference is that the table lives in the phone, players gather from all over the country, and the money goes straight to the winner’s account.
- Take a seat. Players choose their own table; the game starts as soon as the 5 to 9 seats fill.
- Build the chain. Questions go round one player at a time. Every correct answer raises a shared chain, a wrong one resets it.
- Say “bank”. Banking protects what has been collected. Knowing when to say it is the hardest part of the game.
- Vote out the weak link. At the end of every round the table votes one of its own out. The last two play a final head to head.
A game lasts 9 to 18 minutes. On the smallest table the entry fee is 1 ₼ and the winner takes 4 ₼; bigger tables raise both. The site is honest about the numbers: these are the highest possible figures, not an expectation.
Fair by design. The server is the only authority: it draws the questions, runs the clock, grades the answers and moves the money through a double-entry ledger. Before anyone sits down it publishes a hash of the question seed, so every draw can be checked afterwards.
The Android app is built with Flutter and downloaded from zeifbend.ubermensch.cc; the backend runs on Django, Channels, PostgreSQL and Redis. Players can also write their own questions. The source code is private.
