I still can't understand, what is the game ?

What is about, even a small hint for me and other members understand what is about ?

The best I can describe it is a pay-to-play quiz bowl/scavenger hunt. Think Cicadia 3301, but with a transparent prize at the end, and puzzle levels per tier.

I can't understand the game nature, is it gambling ? Is a game like Andriod/iOS games ?

Why not make it free using free coins or something ?

If you don't prefer this, then you need solid advertisements and marketers.

SO, not the universal sense of gambling as we mostly know it, but gambling on yourself. Taking a chance that you've got more knowledge or ability to win the whole thing and take home 10-20 times the amount with which you started. There are fee caps per tier (Bronze 0.001 BTC entry, Silver 0.01, Gold 0.1, and Platinum 1.0) of game (w/donations accepted to the gametier's wallet and not the gamemaker's) . More than likely I'll only offer the first two tiers to gain trust before opening Gold and Platinum competitions. I'm not looking to run w/ anyone's money, I'm looking to start a business through knowledge seeking/gamemaking.

There is more important question for this, who will pay to play ?

If their are potential buyers, I would make a thread and publish the game with free coins or something and then when you've audience, you can charge for it.

That's the issue I'm running into is getting this thing up and running (I'm not currently BTC wealthy, nor have much to spare).
I could use altcoins to start I suppose and move the playing field into BTC.
I want to host a game model where the participant size determines the overall winnings rather than a fixed rate (i.e. the more people you invite, the more the opportunity at a larger winning pot).

To add on to this:
The layout is a quiz game. Participants enter their fees, that night, the first clue (of 10) is dropped. 24 hours is given to provide the answer. First one to answer gets max points of the number of participants descending to 1 for the last participant to answer (i.e. User a gets 20 points because he answered first out of a pool of 20, User B gets 19 points because he answered second). Points are tallied everyday for 10 days and shown publicly per BTC address on the website. All calculations will be compiled on the day of the following clue drop. Clues can range from Science and Math into Art and Music and everything in betwee. At the end of the 10 days, the one with the most points wins the pot as described above (i.e. drop an entry fee of 0.1 BTC to have a chance to win 1.0 BTC if 20 participants signed up).

I'll point to the fact that I am a noob, and not to be trusted due to no reputation built on this site at this point in time.
That being said, let's say I had a new game no one has seen and want to get as many users as possible to play this game of mine.
This game would require users to input BTC into a wallet and at the end of the game the wallet is the emptied accordingly (winner takes half of all entry fees, 25% stays in wallet, 15% goes to a charity of choosing, and 10% is kept by the gamemaker for development and sustainment of future games).
My question is this: How do I get this idea off the ground, being the newbie I am, and not having a "safe" reputation to be able to hold coins and dole them out responsibly?
Is there any way to prove (by wallet, giving up my anonymity, or otherwise) that would gain the trust of users faster?

I really would like to know as I'd like to kick off this game ASAP.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
