Description

From JZ:

Something to think about: ❌✅ emojis have strong connotations of failing and succeeding. If you want to encourage people who get it more in the middle of the question, try out different emoji combinations

For example:
▪️▪️❤️❤️❤️ ☠️- they're supposed to resemble lives in a game
🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 - shows the passage of time. Or you can invert it so 🌑 represents the first hint, and 🌕 represents the last hint. How you would show it could be different too, like I could have 🌕🌖 to show I spent 2 moons, or 🌗🌘🌑 to show I have 3 moons left. Or just 🌗 to show that's the one I got it on. Dunno
☀️🌤⛅️🌥☁️ 🌧- shows that the sun is going away lol. Similar as the moon one where you as the designer can show the scale in different ways
🕐🕒🕓🕗🕛 - if you really want to focus on time? I don't think you do, though
🔓🔐🔒 - first try, middle try, fail? It goes easy on the people who get it in the middle, plus imo it's got detective vibes (or maybe just escape room)
🕵️🧐🔎🤔😊😥 - a bit silly, you can change them around
🌌🌃🏙🌆🌇
🚀🛩🛵⛵️🚠- a travel theme makes it obvious that you got to the destination eventually, and the only difference was your speed. There's a lot of different emojis that could fit this theme too. I think this one is my favorite

◀️⬅️〰️➰➿ - These ones show up as apple emojis, but they dont show up well on normal discord

  • could represent a winding path. Also reminiscent of hangman. You could also put something at the end of the path like an "x" or a magnifying glass to show where on the path you were when you solved the puzzle. You might be able to format it so that in Triviale, they're all connected.

You may have to consider how the emojis/unicode will show up on different platforms.

I kind of like the idea of collecting leftover hints somewhere on your account

Research direction

Start by locating where the game currently renders the ❌ and ✅ emoji results, then review how candidate Unicode emojis appear across platforms. Done means selecting a replacement scheme, implementing it consistently, and verifying that the displayed symbols remain understandable across supported platforms.
