Design Idea Wk8: A social game

Trust
In this game two friends each select one person from their friends list who they hate the most and it is kept secret by the game. Each friend is given the option of ‘peeking’ at who the other person selected as the person they hate the most. If only one of them does it, then nothing happens, but if both of them ‘peek’, “I hate ***” will be broadcast to everyone on their friends list so everyone will know who each of them hate.

If they both refrain from peeking, a counter will go up each day and on each of their walls it will be displayed that each of them have kept their secret for however many days. This will still happened if one of them peeked.

The game theory would be somthing like this assuming higher number is higher the benefit:

Keep Secret Peek
Keep Secret 10 10 20 10
Peek 10 20 0 0
