Moment Studio

Earned moments. One resolved outcome, one presentation.

Compare the same real result as an ordinary result, a highlight and a signature ceremony. Every trigger is a game fact; awarding points never belongs to the effect.

A rare outcome or phase gets its own identity. Result stays readable after.
Imposter escape, Pulse Rush ready, finale

Same outcome, three treatments

Read the Room · 6 of 6 chose "Charming"

Same brain · 6 of 6

"Charming" — every submitted pick.

Answer stays visible. Optional: anyone want to defend the other side? No bonus points.

Reduced motion shows the same headline, rays as a static graphic, exact result and next action. Muted shows everything with no sound. Neither loses points or information.

Event contract

Trigger: ≥4 eligible; all expected picks submitted; 0 passes; 0 away; identical choice
Exclusions: Sensitive disclosures; unknown/missing votes; shared-phone public play (label as host-confirmed show of hands)
Data shown: Exact denominator "6 of 6"; the answer text
Recipients: Stage (public). Phones: small badge
Repeat: Second unanimity within 60s → badge, not ceremony
Points: None from the effect

Coordination rules (engine behaviour)

Resolve once, present once
Each moment references session · game · round · outcome. Duplicate taps, reconnects and replays award nothing and never rerun the live ceremony.
One dominant event
Priority: interruption → authoritative result → signature → highlight → response → decoration. Lower never covers a settings sheet.
Coalesce, don't queue
Max one signature per set; ~60s decorative spacing (a real finale may supersede). Highlights become in-place badges during cooldown.
Cancel on context change
Game switch, pause, settings, cancelled round → pending effects and audio are cancelled; resume restores static state.
No leaks
Private ballots/roles never influence public particles, sounds, borders or accessible labels before reveal. Identical private confirmation for every role.
Fairness outside animation
Deadlines and scores resolve in the game system; an animation callback never decides points or time.
Shake bounds
Decorative frame or object only: 2–4px, 120–180ms, rapid decay; zero shake available; never the viewport, a text field or a button under a finger.
No strobe
No full-screen flash sequences. Impact through staging, typography, geometry and sound; edge glow at most.
Hard mute
Mute stops active and scheduled audio immediately. Sound needs a user gesture; blocked audio leaves a complete visual result.
Reduced motion = equal
Stable rays, bold headline, completed ring, exact score, same next action. Never "boring mode", never fewer rewards.

Signature finale

Pulse Rush · team relay, 2 × 30s

Invitation after three completed Party Mix sets. 60 seconds of active play, about 90 with handoff — to validate. Playable in the room as Act It Out with 30-second legs.

Try the relay

Invitation
After the third completed set. Never interrupts a round, never expires. Start / Later / Quieter finale.
Setup
Two teams, equal 30s legs, deck + heat cap, one-line scoring. Read rules without a countdown.
Team A ready → leg
Neutral operator taps Correct / Pass. Each accepted answer = 1. Local tally pops at 3, 5, 8 solved (totals, not streaks).
Deadline
Scoring stops; final accepted result stays visible. Handoff is untimed.
Team B ready → leg
Same duration, comparable difficulty, no repeated prompts.
Result
Totals, genuine lead change or close finish. Ties stay ties unless both teams accept an equal tiebreak.
Return
Back to Party Mix with heat and topic limits intact.

No hidden multipliers, stolen seconds or comeback decks. Quieter finale alternative: three untimed prediction rounds with the same gold stage. The three-set meter is an invitation, never a gate.

Concept backlog · presentation vs new mechanics

Dead Heat
Presentation
Exact even split, ≥4 valid, no missing → two equal panels, invite debate.
Nailed It
Presentation
Declared exact-split prediction correct → bars snap together, show both numbers.
Last-Second Legend
Presentation
Accepted score in final 3s → stamp the accepted time; clock never changes.
Alibi Avalanche
Presentation
One entry wins every other player's vote → "all other players", then author reveal.
Double Take
Presentation
Opted-in author reveal as a captioned comic panel; no surprise detection.
Mic Drop
Presentation
Group-nominated favourite with author approval to keep the quote.
The Drop
Presentation
Host-controlled transition at a safe boundary using the game's own stage.
Pulse Constellation
Presentation
Lobby: all ready → avatars connect into a small stable pattern.

Parallel short writing, anonymous reveal, no-self-vote. Connected only. Next prototype.
Club Emergency
New mechanic
Complementary phone instructions, finite cooperative goal. Full rules needed.

Overtime / Rematch / Encore
Presentation
Explicit consent, truthful past scores, no forced extension or multiplier.
