Hunt the Wumpus

AI-guided learning game inspired by the text-only classic — first place at Microsoft's Hunt the Wumpus game development competition.

App Store Source

A Hunt the Wumpus run: the player moves across the numbered hex map, falls into a pit, and is put through a three-question trivia round to climb back out, with each answer marked correct or wrong — Falling into a pit starts a trivia round — answer your way back out. Recorded at 2× speed.

Overview

Built for Microsoft's "Hunt the Wumpus" game development competition (Apr–Jun 2024), where projects are judged on design, code quality, creativity, and user experience.

I created an AI-guided learning game inspired by the text-only classic Hunt the Wumpus, designed to give players a unique experience rather than a straight port.

Process

I designed the game mechanics, playtested with real users, refined the game based on their feedback, and delivered a live demo and Q&A to the judges.

Result

First place out of 160+ contestants. The game was later published on the App Store; it and Robot Rush have 800+ downloads between them.
