Abstract:

Interactive systems and methods for creating game and game-like applications are presented. A game system includes a content management system with access to game templates and a game content database, a plurality of REST application services, one or more user interfaces, an active game-play database, and a social reporting engine for collecting and storing user data in a user database. The game creation system includes access to external data feeds for tracking the progress and outcome of real-world events, such as sporting events. Games may be built using an editorial workflow interface for approving or rejecting game templates and game content. A crowd wisdom module analyzes game play and identifies the best answers over time, and a crowd guru module identifies players who perform well over time.
