Hey all,

I just wanted to open a brainstorming post for possible future variations on the game.
Note that this is just for fun and that i hold no weight toward game decisions.

Here's a couple ideas floating around in my own head, what's in yours?

Speed click: First team to press 100* times wins
*Obviously this should be calibrated based on expected participation
Short timer, for length: No teams, only community effort to make it last as long as possible but the timer is shorter
Perhaps instead of short timer, the press value degrades over time. Basically a sub-a-thon, tbh
Lowest score after 24hrs* wins, but still have to keep the game alive until then or else nobody wins
*Needs calibrated for feasibility

What if it played like hot potato? You can only press the button if it's the same colour as your team; then you select the colour of another team, as if passing the hot potato to them. The team with the lowest score wins.
