WTF is ‘Long Dark Quiz’?

Long Dark Quiz – The Game for Future-Thinking Antagonists

Long Dark Quiz is a new social quiz game created by Monkey Nuts Studio in London. Their slogan, “A game for future-thinking antagonists,” only gives a small hint of what it’s really about!

The game was designed to bring people closer together, let them bet money against each other, and keep them engaged for up to a year. It has two main parts:

In the first stage, up to six players are asked a series of multiple-choice questions about events that might happen in the future. These could be anything from “Who will win the Six Nations Rugby?” to “Which celebrity will cheat on their spouse next?” The questions spark conversation, as players are hit with topics spanning news, sport, culture, and gossip all great seeds for lively debate.

Once players have raced to choose their answers and enjoyed the discussions that follow, the game ends… but not entirely. This is where the second stage begins.

Through the game’s app, players stay connected for the next 6–12 months. Whenever one of the predictions comes true, everyone is notified giving them a reason to reconnect, chat, and banter about who guessed right. At the end of the game’s timeline, the player with the most correct predictions wins the pot of cash and ultimate bragging rights.

So how does this bring people closer?
In a world dominated by social media, where real conversations are becoming rare, Long Dark Quiz gives friends a reason to talk again. It provides endless topics for discussion and a competitive edge to keep it interesting. Players will find themselves messaging each other not just to catch up, but to gloat, laugh, and argue about who’s one step closer to victory.

I can’t wait for this game to launch it sounds like a ton of fun. You can register your interest for free HERE and gain early access to the LDQ prototype today.

When creating the game you chose a stake. This is an amount of money that each player donates to the pot. At the end of the selected time period, the winner is the player with the most correct answers. They win the game, the pot and ultimate bragging rights.

Example question

As this question has now come into fruition and we know that the correct answered was ’Dishy Rishi’ the player who picked that would have won a point. An email would be sent to the group confirming the correct answer and showing the games scoreboard.
